How does mitosis provide for genetic consistency in an organism and why is this important?

Biology

castortr0y [4]3 years ago

 <span>Mitosis is Asexual reproduction. It promotes genetic consistency because all offspring are exactly identical to the parent, unlike meiosis where homologous chromosomes are randomly dispersed between four daughter cells. organisms that only reproduce asexually are at a disadvantage because all organisms in their population are identical so if there were to be a major environmental change, they would have less of a chance of survival compared to a population of sexually reproducing organisms that are all genetically different.</span>

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{Protein}

Explanation:

Ribosomes are specialized to carry protein synthesis [Manufacture of protein]. Since, Ribosomes are attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum which means that the function of RER is also protein synthesis. If a cell has a very large amount of ribosomes attached to its  rough endoplasmic reticulum, Then the cell will probably carry out the manufacture of protein.

Hope this helped!

The inheritance of eye color in Drosophila is controlled by genes on each of the fly's four chromosome pairs. One eye-color gene
algol [13]

Answer:

F1 Females  - all wild type

F1 Males  - all wild type

F2 Females  -  - all wild type

F2 Males - 1/2 wild type, 1/2 vermilion

Explanation:

The wild-type allele (Xᵛ⁺) is dominant over vermilion (Xᵛ), which is a sex-linked trait.

Female flies have two X chromosomes, male flies have one X and one Y chromosome.

A homozygous wild-type female fly (Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ⁺) is mated with a vermilion male fly (XᵛY).

The female parent can only produce Xᵛ⁺ gametes.

The male parent can produce either Xᵛ or Y gametes.

When gametes from both parents fuse, the F1 offspring will have the genotypes Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ (females with wild type eyes) and Xᵛ⁺Y (males with wild type eyes).

The F1 females can produce Xᵛ⁺ and Xᵛ gametes. The F1 males can produce Xᵛ⁺ and Y gametes.

When the F1 individuals interbreed, the gametes combine to give rise to the F2 offspring. The possible combination of gametes that will give the different genotypes and phenotypes in the F2 are:

  • Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ⁺ females with wild type eyes
  • Xᵛ⁺ Y males with wild type eyes
  • Xᵛ Xᵛ⁺ females with wild type eyes
  • Xᵛ Y males with vermilion eyes

Does mitosis or meiosis occur more frequently in your body? Explain your answer
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Mitosis

Explanation:

Meiosis is the splitting of sex cells which happens during reproduction. Mitosis is the splitting of body cells in order to make more body cells. Mitosis is how your body grows, therefore it occurs more frequently because the body is not constantly reproducing.

Fossils of ancient polar plants are currently found near the equator because the ________. A. entire earth had polar conditions
professor190 [17]
<h2>Answer is option "B"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Fossils are formed by unusal ways of minerals,energy and other substances. the sap solidifies and frames the semiprecious material called golden. In certain bits of golden the buried survives from living beings can be found. Volcanic ejections can shape fossils when creatures get caught in the hot debris streams. Right now, the fossil is a hole looking like an animal.
  • Truth be told coal is the fossil record of entire timberlands; in any case, singular plant structures normally don't make due as the plant materials are compacted to short of what one-hundredth of their unique size. the hard part of plants are remain the fossil.
  • So as to get fossilized, creatures must kick the bucket in a watery situation and become covered in the mud and residue.
  • hence, the right answer is option B "Plant lived near the poles,but landmasses have drifted to current locations".
