<span>The law of segregation is a principle of Mendelian genetics. The law of segregation occurs during meiosis when gametes are formed. At this time, the alleles for each gene segregate from one another. As a result, each gamete contains only one allele per gene. Thus, the gametes are haploid. The gametes need to be haploid so the specie’s diploid number is maintained when the egg and sperm unite. As a result of the law of segregation, each diploid parent passes a random allele for each trait to his/her offspring during fertilization. Thus, segregation increases variation within a species.</span>

Which of these events would most likely result in the creation of large numbers of fossils?
Alisiya [41]

assuming that there are no answer choices, as you did not provide any, I shall say that the most likely result in the creation of a bunch of fossils would be a lot more oil, as the fossil fuel didn't get its name for nothing. there are other possibilities, but without the answer choices this is the best I could do. hope this helps!

Which claim below accurately explains how the process of meiosis results in genetic variation?
MatroZZZ [7]
Below are the options:

Having two phases of meiosis allow for more unique cells to be produced.


Meiosis is a form of asexual reproduction which leads to more genetic variation.


Meiosis produces 4 haploid daughter cells which all contain identical DNA segments.


<span>Crossing over during metaphase allows segments of DNA from 2 parents to SWAP and produce non-identical haploid cells.
</span>
The answer <span>Meiosis is a form of asexual reproduction which leads to more genetic variation</span>
