How does segragation increase the genetic variability of sexually reproducing organisms?

Biology

Llana [10]2 years ago

<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>

Reil [10]
ATP, also called adenosine triphosphate or the body's energy currency, is a compound that is synthesized when we have a compound called adenosine diphosphate (ADP). When this compound gets another phosphate group (P) attached, we get the more known ATP. This is also why the name changes from diphosphate to triphosphate (di - two, tri - three).

The hummingbird is more closely related to a lizard than it is to a dragonfly. Explain why two species that look similar are not
stepan [7]
Some species look similar because they evolved in similar environments. Similar environments impose similar challenges, and traits improving survival are favoured. These organisms would not be closely related, however, because they evolved from different species and different regions. This is known as convergent evolution.
