List two scientific discoveries that have led to a better understanding of modern human variation.

Biology

Sedaia [141]3 years ago

The first scientific discovery is the epigenetic variation where it describes the deviation in the chemical tags that attach to DNA which affect how genes are read. Theses tags are called epigenetic markings that  act as switches that control how genes can be read. Another essential discovery on human variation is the genetic variability, which measures the tendency of individual genotypes in a population to become different from one another. In addition, the variability of a trait is how much that characteristic tends to vary in response to environmental and hereditary influences.

Genetic recombination plays a role in both maintenance and diversity within an organism. Explain how this balance is achieved an
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1), the random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1), and random fertilization are the mechanisms involved in genetic variation.

Explanation:

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1), the random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1), and random fertilization are the mechanisms involved in genetic variation.

The Crossing-over events occur between two homologous chromosomes in the equatorial plane and make the daughter cells genetically different from the original one. The Chiasma is the position where two homologous chromatids interchange genetic information, giving a place for new genetic material or information to be provided to descendants. After crossing over, homologous chromosomes get separated again.  

On the equatorial plane, homologous paired together, randomly aline with their kinetochores facing opposite poles. The random arrangement of tetrads is different in every cell going through the meiosis process. There is no equal alinement between two cells. When tetrads aline in the equatorial plane, there is no predetermined order for each of the homologous chromosomes of each tetrad to face one of the poles and then migrate to it while separating.  Chromosomes of the homologous pair arrange to face any of the poles to migrate forward to it. Each of the chromosomes has two possibilities for orientation at the plane. When the new haploid cells are formed, the number of variations in each cell is also different and depends on the chromosomes that form that cell. The order in the equatorial plane is what introduces variation into the gametes, being almost impossible for two gametes to have the same genetic charge.  

Independent assortment occurs when the alleles from two or more different genes distribute in gametes independently from each other. In other words, a gamete receives an allele from a gene that does not depend on nor influence the allele of another gene in the same gamete. This can only be applied to independent genes. An organism gets only one of the members of the chromatids pair of each parent.

Give examples to show that plastic are non-corrosive in nature
34kurt

Answer:

Plastics are non-corrosive in nature because they do not react with air, water or other substances. They do not get corroded even if they come in contact with strong chemicals. This is because of their non-reactive nature with most materials. For example, the cleansing chemicals that we use at home are stored in plastic bottles, instead of metal containers. I know its late but I still hope it helped.  :)

What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 centimeters?(1 point)
mr Goodwill [35]

Considering the definition of volume, the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 centimeters is 3 cm³.

<h3>Volume</h3>

Volume is a measure of the space occupied by an object in three-dimensional space.

In other words, volume of a geometric figure is defined as the amount of space occupied by the object or figure in three-dimensional space. Volume is measured in cubic units.

The volume of a cube is equal to the measure of its side to the cube. That is to say:

Volume = side x side x side = side³

<h3>This case</h3>

In this case, you have a cube with a side length of 3 centimeters. Replacing in the definition of volume:

Volume= 3 centimeters× 3 centimeters× 3 centimeters

Solving:

<u><em>Volume= 3 cm³</em></u>

Finally, the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 centimeters is 3 cm³.
