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.
The surface area of a sphere can be approximated as follows: Surface area = 4πr2; where r is the radius of the sphere; π is a constant that is roughly equal to 3.
At the place marked with the letter A we have a divergent plate boundary. On this type of boundary, the plates are moving away from one another. As they move away, they leave a gap behind them, and the crust is becoming thinner and thinner with lots of cracks in it. Because of that, the high pressures from the mantle manage to push upwards the magma with ease. The magma reaches the seafloor and it is pushing the crust upwards until it breaks it. As the magma pushes the crust upwards,underwater volcanoes are formed, and when the crust is broken by the magma, the magma flows get on the seafloor, cool of very quickly in the water, and create new crust.
Coniferous trees dominate Boreal forests rather than tundra because of the lack of permanently frozen soil.
a lack of permanently frozen soil.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Boreal forests are characterized by a cold but not so cold weather. This means that it is too cold for the growth of deciduous trees. When it comes to the growth of tundra, the weather isn’t cold enough for the growth of tundra.
Tundra requires permafrost which is a permanently frozen layer of ground . The Boreal forests lack permafrost and thus isn’t suitable for the growth of tundra vegetation.
