The correct answer is transform.

Shaking of earth's surface is called as earthquake. The earthquakes results in generation of seismic waves. The earthquake that occur along boundaries is called shallow focus earthquake. They originate in parallel strike -slip faults, transform faults. The resistance due to friction in the fault system overcomes and plates starts to move suddenly, this results in earthquake.

The results of genetic crosses derived from Punnet squares assume that each gamete contains one allele for each trait, which com

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Independent assortment

Explanation:

The law of independent assortment says that genes for different traits or characteristics assort independently from each other during gamete formation. So each contrasting character's pair assort independently and do not show any association with the pair of other characters.

So after gamete formation collectively the gametes have all the possible combinations of alleles because all the genes are assorted independently in gametes.

This independent assortment of traits leads to some new combination of characteristics in the offspring. Therefore the correct answer is independent assortment.

What function does recombination by crossing-over have in genetic variation?

Katena32 [7]

Answer: Crossing-over allows the genes that come from each parent to recombine before they are passed on to future generations because chromatids of homologous chromosomes mate and exchange sections of their DNA.

Explanation:

Chromosome crossing-over is the process by which chromatids of homologous chromosomes mate and exchange sections of their DNA during prophase I of meiosis, when pairs of homologous chromosomes, or of the same type, are aligned. The chromatids of the homologous chromosomes break off in the chiasmas and rejoin to allow recombination of the linked genes. So it occurs when regions at chromosome breaks mate and then reconnect to the other chromosome. The result of this process is an exchange of genes, called genetic recombination.

This allows the genes that come from each parent to recombine before they are passed on to future generations. Then, it is an important source of genetic variability, since it involves an exchange of segments between homologous chromosomes during the development of gametes. This process allows that the descendants of an individual are genetically very different, since it is very unlikely that an individual produces two equal gametes, because all of them have different segments of the homologous chromosomes.
