The given question is incomplete as the group of choices lack the correct answer, however, the correct group of choices are as follows:

A. Movement of sister chromatids to opposite poles at anaphase II of meiosis.

B. Movement of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles at anaphase I of meiosis.

C. Crossing over between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis.

D.  Replication of chromosomes prior to meiosis.

E. Independent alignment of different homologous pairs on the metaphase I spindle.

Answer:

The correct answer is :  Movement of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles at anaphase I of meiosis.

Explanation:

The Mendel's law of segregation says that during formation of gametes the copies of genes segregate from each other so each gamete has equal and only one allele of the gene.

This behavior of homologous chromosome can be seen in anaphase I in meiosis, responsible for the segregation of copies of allele into different copies.

Thus, the correct answer is :  Movement of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles at anaphase I of meiosis.

Assume that you are a national official with the power to set policy for controlling environmental mercury pollution (Core Case
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The policy for controlling environmental mercury pollution should address ways to prevent and control this pollution.  Policy:

  • Ban the incineration of waste
  • Require that coal-burning companies remove mercury from the coal
  • Allocate funds towards research and development for renewable energy resources in the hopes of switching away from coal.
  • Require that products containing mercury be labeled as such.
  • Set up programs that will recycle batteries and mercury-filled products.
  • Set up education programs that will help inform people about mercury pollution.

This policy works by addressing the ways to prevent and control mercury pollution.

Three problems that could result from implementing this policy:

  • Backlash from coal-burning companies.
  • It could take a while before we completely shift away from using coal.
  • Some of the programs that can be set up in this policy can be too expensive to set up and maintain.

The consistent reduction in fitness (survival, reproduction, etc) in a population due to widespread non-random mating is called
igomit [66]

Answer:

Natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection occurs when one allele (or combination of alleles of different genes) makes an organism more or less fit, that it is able to survive and reproduce in a given environment. If an allele reduces fitness, its frequency will tend to drop from one generation to the next.
