Answer:

The correct statements are:

  • maintains chromosome number throughout generations
  • causes genetic recombination
  • causes genetic variation

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which one cell divides to form four daughter cells, each carrying exactly half the chromosomal number of the parent cell.

It is mainly used in the formation of gametes in organisms which reproduce sexually.

The fusion of gametes restores the original chromosome number. Thus, it helps in maintaining the chromosome number throughout generations. In absence of meiosis, the chromosome number would have doubled after each fertilization event or after each generation.

In addition, events like random segregation of chromosomes and crossing over cause genetic recombination as well as genetic variation.

Meiosis is the process of cell division by which involving gametes. Cell division is just the same for sperm and egg cells, but they have distinguishable descriptions and labels in the process. Spermatogenesis is for the males’ sperm cells and oogenesis is the process for females’ egg cells. The cell division of meiosis involves the two phases, respectively meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I like mitosis is the cell division that produces diploid cells<span>. These diploid cells are cells that contain a complete pair of chromosomes which is 46. The result is two diploid cells after the first meiosis. To provide clear explanation, in contrast haploid cells only contain 23 chromosomes and are created after meiosis II which is 4 in number. </span>

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientific Research is a method used in the construction and testing of a scientific hypothesis.

It has six steps that can be used in solving questions ask or observations made which is A family wants to test the effectiveness of a misting shower head in conserving (saving) water compared to their regular shower head.

Steps to follow:

Make an observation: An observation would be made on how water is been used in the house and how it can be conserved, this observation is what brings about the question asked

Ask a question : The question is

which is more effective in conserving water a misting shower head or regular shower.

Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation: An hypothesis is formulated for the question asked

Example: Null hypothesis: Mistling shower conserves more water than shower head

Alternative: Mistling shower conserves less water that normal shower.

Make a prediction based on the hypothesis: Predictions are made on what could be the cause if there is indeed a difference and what could cause the difference

Test the prediction: An experiment is conducted to test the hypothesis if indeed Mistling is better than normal shower, the appropriate method is determined to be used for the experiment.

Iterate: The result gotten helps to butters our hypothesis if its to be acceoted or rejected. If rejected further research can be conducted on the effectiveness of normal shower in conserving water.

PLLLZ HELP I AM TIMED!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Latitude or distance from the equator – Temperatures drop the further an area is from the equator due to the curvature of the earth. In areas closer to the poles, sunlight has a larger area of atmosphere to pass through and the sun is at a lower angle in the sky.

2. Altitude or height (also sometimes known as depth) is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object. The exact definition and reference datum varies according to the context (e.g., aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, or atmospheric pressure). Although the term altitude is commonly used to mean the height above sea level of a location, in geography the term elevation is often preferred for this usage.

3. Large bodies of water, such as oceans, seas and large lakes, can affect the climate of an area. Water heats and cools more slowly than landmasses. Therefore, the coastal regions will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, thus creating a more moderate climate with a narrower temperature range.

4. Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms. Currents are cohesive streams of seawater that circulate through the ocean
