Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes. Meiosis also produces genetic variation by way of the process of recombination.

Meiosis is important for three main reasons: it allows sexual reproduction of diploid organisms, it enables genetic diversity, and it aids the repair of genetic defects.

What would MOST LIKELY happen to the black swallowtail butterfly if these plants continue to decrease?
Paul [167]

Answer:Limiting factor is a factor which can limit the abundance, distribution of the species in an ecosystem this can be a resource, predator or natural disaster.

One mechanism by which viruses may cause cancer is to interrupt the genetic regulatory sequences of repressor proteins. Which of
Bumek [7]

Answer: D) retroviruses

Explanation:

Retroviruses are a type of virus that converts its genetic material into DNA using a special enzyme, called reverse transcriptase. The DNA is then able to integrate into the DNA of the host cell. Once integrated, the virus can make additional viral particles using the components of the host cell.

Retroviruses which cause cancer at low incidence do not contain host information inserted. Rather, they tend to cause cancer via the expression mutation of potentially oncogenic host genes. Retroviruses incorporate proviral DNA into their host's chromosomal DNA during their natural life-cycle. Provirus DNA promoter affect regulatory gene expression over.

Hence, the correct option is D.

How are plate tectonics formed? How do we know they exist (list 4-5 pieces of evidence)? And what are the different boundries?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Tectonic plates are the result of the mantle cooling on the surface. At plate boundaries or "zones" occure, there are different reactions along the edges of them. Divergent is when two plates move away from one another allowing fresh molten rock to flow to the surface. This results in a volcano. Covergent boundaries are when plates come together, resulting in mountain ranges. Transforming boundaries are when they slide up against each other causing earthquakes. More examples of proof of plate tectonics is the changing of Pangea into the world as we know it and subduction zones that reveal fossils that were deeply buried under layers of earth.
