Explanation:
Genetic variation in offspring during sexual reproduction is caused by
- crossing over
- independent assortment
- randomized fertilization
Further Explanation:
All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells during cell division, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells. This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained.
Conversely in meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.
- crossing over: the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.
- independent assortment in metaphase I of meiosis: chromosomes align independently and genes segregate independently into new combinations ...in humans 2n, n = 23, 8 million combinations of chromosomes possible
- randomized fertilization: sperm cells fertilize an ovum to form a zygote. This occurs randomly by chance, to result in a complete set of chromosomes 2n, that is a novel combination of half each parent's number of chromosomes

Answer:
The chance of having a Child who is a Heterozygote is 50% , The chance of having a child that will completely come down with Alpers syndrome is 0%
Explanation:
Jack has a history of Alpers in his family
Jill has no history
lets assume Jack is a carrier : Ab ( because that is how he could have survived the first 10 lethal years )
Jill : AA
Therefore the probability/chance of Jack and Jill having a child with Alpers ( carrier ) syndrome will be 50 % as shown below
AA * Ab = AA , Ab, AA, Ab
The child produced by Jack and Jill will only be a carrier of the syndrome and not completely affected by the syndrome
Answer:
Covalent bonds form when two atoms share valence electrons,
while Van der Waals forces cause an attraction between nonpolar
molecules
Explanation:
A covalent bond is said to be formed when two atoms of the same or different elements share electrons. In an ordinary covalent bond, each bonding atom contributes one valence electron while in a dative covalent bond only one of the bonding atoms provides the shared pair of electrons.
Van Der Waals forces is the major intermolecular interaction between non polar compounds. Van Der Waals forces " are caused by correlations in the fluctuating polarizations of nearby particles"(Wikipedia).
A population that has been isolated, especially a smaller one, could have a high level of homozygosity and therefore not a lot of genetic variation. Gene flow between such populations can increase the level of heterozygosity, and therefore up genetic variation.
Answer:
The body cell has 26; the sex cell has two.
