Processes that determine heredity and contribute to genetic variationMeiosis guarantees that in a sexual life cycle, offspring w

ill inherit one complete set of chromosomes (and their associated genes and traits) from each parent. The transmission of traits from parents to offspring is called heredity.Another important aspect of meiosis and the sexual life cycle is the role these processes play in contributing to genetic variation. Although offspring often resemble their parents, they are genetically different from both of their parents and from one another. The degree of variation may be tremendous.The following processes are associated with meiosis and the sexual life cycle:-DNA replication before meiosis-crossing over-chromosome alignment in metaphase I and separation in anaphase I-chromosome alignment in metaphase II and separation in anaphase II-fertilizationSort each process into the appropriate bin according to whether it contributes to heredity only, genetic variation only, or both. (Note that a bin may be left empty.)

<h2>Genetic variation & Heredity</h2>

Explanation:

  • HEREDITY ONLY: none , genetic variation: none
  • BOTH: all  fertilization , metaphase 1→anaphase & 1  metaphase 2→anaphase 2  crossing over
  • DNA replication
  • In organisms that reproduce sexually, the processes of DNA replication, the precise pairing of homologs during crossing over, chromosome alignment and separation in meiosis I and II, and fertilization ensure that traits pass from one generation to the next
  • Unlike with asexual reproduction, offspring of sexual reproduction are genetically different from each other and from both of their parents. Mechanisms that contribute to genetic variation include:
  • Errors (mutations) that occur during DNA replication . The production of recombinant chromosomes due to crossing over . The independent assortment of homologous chromosomes in meiosis I
  • The separation of sister chromatids (which are no longer identical due to crossing over) in meiosis II
  • The random fusion of male and female gametes during fertilization

.What industry contributes to wetland loss in Louisiana?

"The swamps and marshes of coastal Louisiana are among the Nation's most fragile and valuable wetlands, vital not only to recreational and agricultural interests but also the State's more than $1 billion per year seafood industry.What part of Louisiana is most in danger from land loss?

Dozens of reports show the highest rate of land loss occurred in areas with the heaviest amount of oil and gas extraction and canal dredging, Marshall says. According to some studies, the oil and gas industry is responsible for anywhere between 36 to 60 percent of the loss.
