The assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation, the raw material for evolution.
During metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are lined up at the equator plate of the cell in order to be separated (assorted) in anaphase I.
The separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I is random. Daughter cells receive unique gene combinations from an original parent cell.
Subsequently, haploid cells got from two successive meiotic divisions fuse during fecundation to form a diploid (2n) zygote.
During prophase I, non-sister chromatids interchange genetic material by a process known as recombination. This genetic process also increases genetic variation in daughter cells.
In conclusion, the assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Catecholamines refer to the hormones produced by the adrenal gland present on the upper side of the kidney.
The catecholamine hormone includes the epinephrine, norepinephrine and the dopamine.
During stress conditions, the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system gets activated which leads to the release of the norepinephrine from the postganglionic neurons and the prolonged-release leads to the release of the adrenaline from the adrenal glands.
Thus, true is the correct answer.
The unit of measurement in an ecological footprint is the global hectare.
On the islands of the Galapagos lives a group of birds called finches. There are 13 species in this group. These species have diverse ecologies--some eat seeds, some eat insects, some eat fruit, and some even eat cactus. Although the bodies of these species look fairly similar, their beaks are very different. That is because it is their beak that is adapted to these diverse ways of feeding (Figure 8.14).
