Which of the following explains how the processes involved in meiosis increase variation in a species? A. The gametes of asexual
ly-reproducing organisms automatically reshuffle during meiosis, creating genetic variation in their offspring. B. The gametes of asexually-reproducing organisms undergoing meiosis always contain mutations, creating genetic variation in their offspring. C. The gametes of sexually-reproducing organisms always mutate during meiosis, creating genetic variation in their offspring. D. The gametes of sexually-reproducing organisms reshuffle through crossing over and independent assortment during meiosis, creating genetic variation in their offspring.
The answer would be D. The gametes of sexually-reproducing organisms reshuffle through crossing over and independent assortment during meiosis, creating genetic variation in their offspring.
Tip: remember mitosis (my toes has nothing to do with sex) so meiosis is the opposite of it.
B: Newton's law states "any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them." Which is true.
