5 0

Answer:

independent assortment occurs in metaphase I and anaphase I

Explanation:

Independent assortment is the development of haphazard combinations of chromosomes in meiosis and of genes on separate pairs of homologous chromosomes through the passage as stated by the laws of probability i.e  one of each diploid pair of homologous chromosomes pairs into each gamete independently of each other pair. This principle describes and demonstrates how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develops.

Part of the significance of independent assortment is to produce new genetic combinations that increase genetic variations within a population.

To increase the genetic diversity in the offspring.

When individuals of the same species are reproductively isolated, genetic differences may accumulate in sufficient number so tha
sdas [7]

Answer:

macroevolution

Explanation:

Macroevolution occurs due to the genetic differences accumulates in the population of the same species which gets reproductively isolated from the older population and got different environments and resources to live.

Macroevolution leads to the creation of a new species over a long period of time because of the genetic difference that occurs due to mutation in the gene in the population who got reproductively isolated. So the new species evolved from the macroevolution.

Explain how critical value variations influence statistical power.
zloy xaker [14]
Statistical power is the likelihood that a test (statistical test) will detect an effect when there is an effect there to be detected. Statistical power<span> is inversely related to </span><span>the probability of making a </span>Type II error (Type II errors<span>, or </span>false negatives, occur when you don’t see things that are there) = beta<span>.
statistical power = 1 – </span>β. The critical value<span> is the </span>value corresponding to a given significance level.  The statistical power<span> is </span>influenced by the choice of significance level for the test (by the critical value). Larger critical value means increased power of the test: <span> the chance of obtaining a statistically significant result is increased (reduces the risk of a </span>Type II error<span> (false negative regarding whether an effect exists) is reduced) . </span>
