What are two parts of sexual reproduction that produce genetic variation
forsale [732]

Answer:

  1. Independent assortment of chromosomes
  2. Crossing over

Explanation:

Independent assortment of chromosomes

We each have a diploid genome that is used to make haploid gametes. The selection of which combinations of chromosomes (and the particular alleles they hold) that are passed on to the gametes is random. I.e. 1 gamete could have the paternal chromosomes 1, 4, and 6, and maternal 2, 3 and 5. Another gamete could have paternal 2, 4, and 6, and maternal 3 2 and 5.

This produces unique combinations of alleles that are passed onto the next generation after sexual reproduction.

Crossing over

Crossing over occurs when homologous chromosomes pair up and align during meiosis. When this happens, they can exchange genetic material at homologous sites. This means that even <em>within </em>chromosomes, there are new combinations of alleles being created to pass on to the gametes before sexual reproduction. That is, each chromosome will have chunks of maternal and chunks of paternal DNA.

Both of these features increase genetic variation by two mechanisms, and this is occurring in two individuals, producing genetically diverse offspring.

Which of these statements describes a limitation of the Antarctic Treaty
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) It does nothing to protect the atmosphere over Antarctica.</em>

Explanation:

On December 1, 1959, the Antarctic Treaty was signed in Washington. According to this treaty, Antarctica was to be used for peaceful purposes. This treaty regulates international relations with the Antarctica region. Freedom to different scientists for research in this area was given through this treaty.

However, the treaty did not discuss anything related to the protection of the atmosphere around Antarctica. Hence, option D can be considered to be a limitation of the Antarctic Treaty  System.
