Recombination
: the process occurring in Meiosis I, in which offspring are able to obtain unique traits resulting in an array of different phenotypes (physical appearances).

Prophase I,
the homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and exchange segments of alleles, and then lining up in the cell in a NON-uniform way.... therefore resulting in genetically unique offsprings rather than identitical.


Mutations are result of evolutionary factors. They create genetic diversity that helps species adjust to different climates, behaviours and foods. Mutations that occur in a fit indivual can result in offspring that are genetically more successful in adjustments to different climates, foods, and environments.


All in all Recombination results in unique looking indivuals, whereas mutations result in greater survival chances of a species.

Differential survival and reproduction of individuals in response to environmental pressure that leads to changes in allele freq
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The answer is natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection will make an organism to survive and reproduce because, it will be better suited to the environment.

This is the reason why natural selection is considered as a key mechanism of the evolution.

Identify whether or not the different agents of evolutionary change could affect allele frequencies in a population?
igomit [66]

Yes, the different frequencies of evolutionary change could affect allele frequency in a population.

<h3>What are the agents of evolutionary change? </h3>

All populations are usual in a constant state of evolution. This means that all the species are continuously changing their genetic makeup over different generations. These changes can be subtle or they can be spontaneous.

If a population is not evolving, it is said to be in Hardy - Weinberg state. In this state, the allele frequency and the genetic makeup of the population will remain the same across generations.

The agents of evolutionary change defy the Hardy - Weinberg state. These are mutation, gene flow, non-random mating, natural selection and genetic drift.

Organisms reproduce in two different ways.What are they called and how do they differ?
Ganezh [65]

The two different organism reproduction is asexual which means that they can reproduce by them selves because they have both male and female parts. Sexual is when it takes two species of the opposite genders to have a offspring.

Water molds are fungus-like and heterotrophic. Why are they classified as chromists rather than protozoans or fungi
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The cell wall of oomycetes, however, is not composed of chitin, as in the fungi, but is made up of a mix of cellulosic compounds and glycan. The nuclei within the filaments are diploid, with two sets of genetic information, not haploid as in the fungi.
