Which of the following is NOT a source of genetic variation?

Biology
1 answer:
nikklg [1K]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) age of either or both parents.

Explanation:

Genetic variation is the difference in nucleotide sequences between individuals organisms within a particular population. Variation can occur either in germ cells that are sperm and egg or in somatic cells or in both.

Random fertilization of egg and sperm can lead to genetic variation is every germ cell has a different set of chromosomes. Independent assortment of chromosomes is also the same as random fertilization as it is also random. Crossing over of homologous chromosomes is one of a major source of the genetic variation as it forms a new set of chromosomes.

Thus, the correct answer is option D) age of either or both parents.

The formula F = ma shows the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. Solve this formula for a.
LuckyWell [14K]

The answer is D. This means that is you have a determined amount of force (in newtons) being applied on an object of known mass (in kilograms), then to determine the acceleration of the object, divide the force by the mass (or multiplying the force with the inverse of the mass of the object). This behavior of objects is stipulated in Newtons/ second law. Increasing the force increases the acceleration while increasing the mass decreases the acceleration of the object. Acceleration is a vector quantity meaning it has magnitude and direction.

What is happening in a fish tank if amonia is building up
Ratling [72]
There are two things that occur in aquarium ammonia chemisty. 1. the build up of natural ammonia and nitrate in the water. 2. displacement of oxygen in the water caused by the ammonia. This is a very real threat especially when you have a new tank that is still cycling or when the biological filter has been upset or removed.

Look for these main symptoms if you suspect ammonia poisoning in your fish tank:
-loss of appetite
-lethargic fish
-fish gasping for air/breath at the top of the water
-fish laying at the bottom of the tank
-red/purple gills
-red streaking on the fish's body
- fins becoming torn and jagged
-scales on fish falling off or turning black

Answer:

pyroclastic flow is a fast moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter that flows along the ground away from a volcano at high velocities.

Hotspot is volcanic regions thought to be fed by underlying mantle that is anomalously hot compared with the surrounding mantle

caldera-a large volcanic crater, especially one formed by a major eruption leading to the collapse of the mouth of the volcano.

tephra-rock fragments and particles ejected by a volcanic eruption

epicenter-the central point of something, typically a difficult or unpleasant situation

fault-an extended break in a body of rock, marked by the relative displacement and discontinuity of strata on either side of a particular surface

surface waves- mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media

body waves-A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves.

sorry if this doesnt help
