How does diploidy help to preserve genetic variation? see concept 23.4 (page 498)?

Biology

Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.

What factors affect the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth’s surface?
umka2103 [35]
One of the factor is the Sun's elevation where the UV reaches us at a much lower frequency when the sun is more distant. Next is our ozone, with our ozone depleting as time goes by, the amount of solar energy it can diffuse is much lesser thus the heat is much more than the previous decades.

Answer:

Standard taxonomic system is important to the scientific community because it provide several advantages like that organise and classify the organism that organism can be easily categorised it helps to understand the characteristics of a specific organisms, it also benefited to universal recognition that scientific names are standardised and it is accepted universally and it also help to understand the similarities and differences between different species that belonging to the same genera.

(Drawbacks of modern taxonomy) :it is based on physical traits and it is also physically similar and species may not be related and it does not use molecular evidence
