Meiosis and mitosis are both forms of cell division. However, the outcomes of these processes differ. Consider a diploid organis

m with two sexes. Select the reasons why meiosis typically produces genetic variation, whereas mitosis does not. Gametic chromosomes have a different combination of alleles than parental chromosomes as a result of independent assortment. Sister chromatids are not genetically identical as a result of crossing over during meiosis. 1n gametes produced in mitosis fuse to produce 2n cells in meiosis. Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

Answer:

Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

Gametic chromosomes have a different combination of alleles than parental chromosomes as a result of independent assortment

Explanation:

Meiosis and Mitosis are two types of cell division that occurs in living organisms. However, Mitosis produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell. This accounts for the reason meiosis leads to genetic variation.

The production of genetically different cells by meiosis is as a result of the process of the random orientation of chromosomes during metaphase I of meiosis I. This process is called INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT. However, crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
melamori03 [73]
Mitosis produces an exact copy of the original containing the same 46 chromosomes as the original cell

Meiosis produces 4 individual sex cells ( gametes) with only 23 chromosomes in each. This is so when a sperm cell and and egg cell meet the combine to make 46 total chromosomes with genes from each parent

How are radioactive isotopes used to date rocks? ...?
Stolb23 [73]
Some isotopes, however, decay slowly, and several of these are used as geologic clocks. Dating rocks by these radioactive timekeepers is simple in theory, but the laboratory procedures are complex. <span>All methods rely on the fact that certain elements (particularly uranium and potassium) contain a number of different isotopes whose half-life is exactly known and therefore the relative concentrations of these isotopes within a rock or mineral can measure the age.</span>

Cell wall - Adds structural support to the cell. Holds the cells together
Cell membrane - Serves as a barrier to the cell and allows more nutrient and molecules to move in and out of the cell without letting things that can harm the cell in. 
Outer membrane - Serves the same basic functions a the cell membrane. (Depending on how complicated the class your in is, I would visit this website for more information... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_outer_membrane )
Pili - Help the cell move and attach the bacteria to surfaces are other cells. 
DNA - Contains the genetic instructions on what the cell can physically do, operate, and reproduce. 
Flagellum - Helps the cell move. It kind of acts like a propeller for the cell so that it can move around.
