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.

Which statement BEST characterizes the general relationship between air pressure and elevation?
Ad libitum [116K]

Both have an inverse relationship.


Explanation:

The two have an inverse relationship, that is, when elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.

This is due to the amount of air on top of you at your current elevation.

At lower elevations, you have more air above you, and thus more pressure.

At higher elevations, you have less air above you, and thus less pressure.


At high elevation food takes longer time too cook due to low pressure, so at high altitude pressure cooker is used to cook food.


OK, :)

What is the cause and effect between mutations and effects of gene expression?
Leto [7]
The cause of mutations in gene expressions are the changes of gene instructions that causes your protein to malfunction. The effect of mutations are the genes not being able to function properly and send the wrong codes/info to your cells.
