Why is crossing-over considered to be a driving force of natural selection?

Biology
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
5 0
<span>Crossover is the first way that genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Crossover takes place in sexual reproduction. Chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other. When they break at the same place (locus) in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called genetic recombination. That is the normal way for crossover to occur. Genetic recombination ensures that the daughter cells produced have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity is created.</span>

Maru [420]
<span>"Since the discovery of Galapagos in 1535, humans have brought many alien species to the islands—some intentionally, including goats, pigs, cats, and both ornamental and food plants (vegetables and fruits), to name a few—while others, including rodents, insects, and weedy plants, have been carried to the islands accidentally." </span>

C

The "Nucleus" contains the genetic information of the cell in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or chromosomes and thus, controls cell growth and multiplication. It is also the site of DNA replication (formation of an identical copy of DNA).

While the "Golgi apparatus", or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.

How old does a whale shark need to be before it can reproduce?
spin [16.1K]
Whale shark reproduction can be by laying eggs that is also called oviparity where the female deposits eggs in the algae or rocks. The embryos formed inside the eggs and feed on the yolk. They can also reproduce through viviparity which means by giving birth just like mammals wherein they are born fully formed. This reproduction process is through the placental link to the eggs wherein the yolk sac grows within a placenta that is connected to the wall of the uterus and gives the offspring the nutrients vital for their growth. Another reproduction process is through Ovoviviparity where eggs are formed inside the mother where the eggs hatch within the oviduct of the female and the young feed on the egg yolk of the yolk sac and the fluids that the walls of the oviduct secrete since the mother does not provide any food directly. Once the eggs are ready, eggs hatch inside the mother and it pups keep getting food from their surroundings until they are fully developed. The number of their offspring and the length of the gestation periods varies according to the species. Probably a female of some species may have only two offspring, but some other species may have between forty and eighty. The small sharks have shorter gestation period compared to large species that last from three to four months or up to more than two years. The large ones reproduce every two years, while the little ones have offspring each year. This is why the reproduction process of whale shark is not known in detail.

Is it yes or no? I’ll brainliest u if u get it right!
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

I think No. because matter can neither be created nor destroyed...chemical change cannot alter the number of atoms in a given reaction. The atoms can only rearrange so that it can yield a new molecule/compound but the number of atoms should stay the same.
