If evolution is based upon there being genetic diversity between generations, how does the lack of genetic differences existing

between daughter cells created via mitosis impact the theory of evolution

igomit [66]4 years ago

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<u>If evolution is based upon genetic diversity, it means that evolution in organisms that only reproduce by mitotic division will depend largely on the frequency of random mutation of genes.</u>

The only way that genetic diversity can occur between daughter cells formed from mitosis is if mutation takes place. Mutation general means a sudden change to the gene sequence of an organism.

Without mutation, evolution in mitotic organisms will be non-existence because there are no new genes or alleles being introduced into the gene pool.

Conjecture what would happen if a primate infant did not possess your chosen primate hand features. Answer this question with th
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Where the primate infant did not possess primate hand features, it will not be able to feed itself.  For example, a monkey cannot survive without its grasping hands.  It uses them to feed itself.  So if an infant monkey does not possess the primate hand features, its survival will be greatly hampered.

Explanation:

Ordinarily, primates (including humans) have five fingers on each of their hands and five toes on their feet.   Most primate species have fingernails instead of claws, and they have touch-sensitive pads on each of their digits. The hands and feet of all primates are designed for grasping, with the only exceptions being humans.  Human beings feature deep perceptions that differentiate them from other primates.

Looking at the image of the freshwater lake ecosystem in the reading, can you name biotic and abiotic factors in this specific e
atroni [7]

Answer:

Biotic factors include: Fish (phytoplankton-eater, zooplankton-eater, predator)

, Crayfish

, Zooplankton

, Grasses, phytoplankton, herbivorous insect, worms, etc.

Abiotic factors include: Sunlight, Rainfall, Sedimentation, Weather, Minerals, Temperature.

Changes that would impact the biotic factors include:

Water, air pollution

Human activities: such as overfishing, rechanneling of the water for purposes such as irrigation, domestic or industrial use, or dredging of the bottom of the lake.

Explanation:

An ecosystem is composed of biotic and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are non-living environmental factors such as water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals. In aquatic ecosystems, abiotic factors include substrate type, water depth, nutrient levels, temperature, salinity, and waterflow. Biotic factors are the living organisms in the ecosystem and they include animals, birds, plants, fungi, etc.

In the image of the freshwater lake ecosystem given,

Biotic factors include: Fish (phytoplankton-eater, zooplankton-eater, predator)

, Crayfish

, Zooplankton

, Grasses, phytoplankton, herbivorous insect, worms.

Abiotic factors include: Sunlight, Rainfall, Sedimentation, Weather, Minerals, Temperature.

Changes that would impact the biotic factors include:

Pollution: pollution such as water pollution and air pollution will adversely impact the biotic factors.

Human activities: such as overfishing, rechanneling of the water for purposes such as irrigation, domestic or industrial use, or dredging of the bottom of the lake.
