Answer: Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).
By the end of meiosis, the resulting reproductive cells, or gametes, each have 23 genetically unique chromosomes. The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell.
Explanation:
During meiosis, homologous chromosomes (1 from each parent) pair along their lengths. The chromosomes cross over at points called chiasma. At each chiasma, the chromosomes break and rejoin, trading some of their genes. This recombination results in genetic variation.
Answer:
Innate immunity
Explanation:
Innate immunity is also referred to as inherited or natural immunity. It is the type of immunity that one is born with. It is passed on from mother to offspring. This form of immunity is non-specific as it offers protection from many types of antigens.

Answer:
The body uses sugars from carbohydrates which supply the brain with glucose as the brain uses it as a "fuel source".
<h2>Why is glucose so important for the brain?</h2>
Quick answer: It takes a lot of energy to receive, interpret, and send signals via your neurons. Glucose is the simples sugar that can be used to make energy.
Cells require energy to carry out their typical everyday tasks. The simplest sugar that our cells can utilize for energy is glucose. Since your neurons are specialized cells, many additional cells are also present to support or protect them. All of the senses you can experience utilizing incoming neurons (from the body to the brain) are transmitted to and interpreted by the brain, including touch, pain, vibration, temperature, smell, sight, hearing, taste, and others. Signal reception and interpretation need energy. Additionally, your brain instructs your body to "do" things, which uses energy. Additionally, you spend a significant portion of your waking hours "thinking," which consumes energy. This explains why 20% of the glucose in your body is used by our teeny, tiny, little brains.
