Answer:

Meiosis

Explanation:

A diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, one from each parent. These genes are passed on by parents to their offsprings as chromosomes on long strands of DNA.

According to Mendel's law of segregation, these alleles get separated into gametes during meiosis. Meiosis a cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes i.e. similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent pair up. These chromosomes (homologous) contains the same genes coding for the same trait but may be in different forms (alleles). The chromosomes containing these alleles get randomly separated into individual cells (gametes) during anaphase of meiosis.

Hence, a gamete receives one allele for each trait.

Which is the highest population density of grasshoppers?

LenKa [72]

35 grasshoppers/10 square meters has the highest population density.

The highest population density of grasshoppers is 35 grasshoppers/10 square meters because more number of organisms are present in less area as compared to other population density.
In the option i.e. 40 grasshoppers/20 square meters and 50 grasshoppers/30 square meters have more number of organisms but the area is also greater.
And we know that high population density means more number of organisms in less area so we can conclude that 35 grasshoppers/10 square meters has the highest population density.
