Biology
1 answer:
lana66690 [7]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

The process of reproducing offspring from female eggs without any male involvement.

<u>Advantages</u>

1- Rapid production of numerous offspring and there is need of male gametes.

2- Require less amount of time and energy

3- Offspring are the exact copies of the parents and are called clones as they are similar morphologically and genetically.  

<u>Disadvantages</u>

1- There is no genetic variability.

2- No new genetic combinations which can be a threat for their survival during  population selection.

if during DNA replication there was an incorrect pairing of the nitrogenous base pairs, leading to a possible change in the code
Eddi Din [679]

. DNA replication is a highly accurate process, but mistakes can occasionally occur as when a DNA polymerase inserts a wrong base. Uncorrected mistakes may sometimes lead to serious consequences, such as cancer. ... Mutations: In this interactive, you can “edit” a DNA strand and cause a mutation.

Explain how the independent alignment of homologs, and also crossing-over during the first meiotic division, each contribute to
BartSMP [9]

Answer: Homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. And they exchange segments of DNA during crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gamete cells, which are sex cells (egg and sperm)

Chromosomes that form a pair and are found together are called homologous chromosomes, and they are inherited from each parent. During prophase of meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA in a process called crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged. <u>It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.</u>

After that, during the anaphase of meiosis I, the two chromosomes line up on the equatorial plane of the cell. Then, they are separated and each will go to a new daughter cell. So homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, <u>this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other.</u>
