<span>The answer is A. Variation in gene pool
Speciation is a formation of a new species during the evolution line.
When there is a variation in a gene pool, a unique combination between genes could be formed during the mating process. This will create an offspring with unique gene pool that will lead to speciation</span>
Answer:
3. An even number of chromosomes are required for synapsis during prophase I and proper pairing during metaphase
Explanation:
Mules are hybrids of a cross between a female horse and a male donkey. Horses contain 64 chromosomes while donkeys contain 63 chromosomes in their somatic cells respectively. This means that they each produce 32 and 31 chromosomes respectively during meiosis. A mule, hence, contains 32+31= 63 chromosomes in their somatic cells.
This chromosome number in mules are uneven for meiosis to occur because meiotic division requires that an even number of homologous chromosomes pair together in a process called SYNAPSIS during prophase I of meiosis I. This is impossible in a mule because of the uneven number of chromosomes in its cells.
Also, during metaphase of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes need to be properly aligned at the equator for separation to occur. This is also impossible in a mule considering the number of chromosomes that don't add up.
Due to this reason of unevenness in the number of chromosomes present in a mule, meiosis will not occur and if meiosis (gamete formation) does not occur, reproduction cannot take place. Therefore, the mule is a sterile species i.e. cannot produce offsprings via sexual reproduction.
A more diverse community would most likely have equal parts of knowledge on medicine, protection, and army/naval forces... A less diverse culture/community might only focus on 1 of these areas
PLEASE RATE AS THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER! THANK YOU! :)
The offspring of sexually reproducing organisms are all genetically unique. Because of this, sexually reproducing organisms may have more successful survival of offspring in environments that change than asexually reproducing organisms, whose offspring are all genetically identical.
