How does meiosis ensure genetic diverlty

1 answer:

6 0

Two ways:
1. In prophase I of meiosis the homologous chromosomes synapse and crossing over occurs. This switches sections of two of the sister chromatids so the outer two chromatids have the same mix of alleles as the parents and the inner two chromatids have new combinations of alleles.
2. Meiosis puts only one of each kind of chromosome in the gametes, selecting one of each homologous pair at random. Then when each gamete joins with the gamete from the other parent, there are practically infinite combinations of the alleles possible.

Three lots with parallel side boundaries extend from the avenue to the boulevard as shown answer

larisa86 [58]

Three lots with parallel side boundaries extend from the avenue to the boulevard as shown in the diagram attached.

Given;
x + y + z = 140 meters

According to the proportion theorem,

$\frac{x}{40} = \frac{y}{30}$

Solving for x, using cross multiplication:

$\frac{x}{1} = \frac{40y}{30}$

Similarly,

x/40 = z/35

solving for z by cross multiplication,

z = 35x/40
z = 7x/8

Now, the third proportions,
y/30 = z/35

Solving for y,

y = 30z/35
y = 6z/7

x + y + z = 140

4y/3 + 6z/7 + 7x/8 = 140

(224y + 144z + 147x)/168 = 140

224y + 144z + 147x = 23520

Substitutoing z = 7x/8,

224y + (144 × 7x/8) + 147x = 23520

224y + 126x + 147x = 23520

224y + 273x = 23520
Now,
Substitute y = 3x/4

(224×3x/4) + 273x = 23520

168x + 273x = 23520

441x = 23520

x = 53.33

Now,
We know that
y = 3x/4
so,
y = 40

And,
z = 7x/8
Z = 46.66
