Biodiversity is essential in medicine as most active chemicals used to make medicines are derived from plants or other organisms. Climate change today threatens species that are vital to medicine. An example would be coral reefs. Studies have been done on reefs that look at fighting cancers, HIV and other ailments. One of the richest zones of biodiversity is the tropics and this region is under threat from global warming and deforestation. It is important to preserve these species for use in future medicinal research. <span />

solniwko [45]

Answer AND Explanation:

<u>FACTORS THAT CAUSE GENETIC VARIATIONS</u>

  1. Crossing over. At the chiasmata during prophase I of meiosis, breakage may occur and exchange of genetic information may take place. New gene combinations which result in variations.
  2. Independent assortment. The arrangement of homologous chromosomes at the equator of the spindle during metaphase of the first meiotic division is random. These homologous chromosomes segregate into different daughter cells which contain different genetic combinations which brings about variation
  3. Fertilisation permits parental genes to be brought together in different combinations. This is the cause of variations in members of the same family.
  4. Mutation is the spontaneous change in the genetic makeup of an organism. These changes may be inherited by the offspring therefore beginning variation.
