The major role meiosis plays in chromosomal inheritance is to

Biology

Answer:

Doubles the amount of DNA and reduces the chromosome number from 2N to N.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division in which one cell divides into 2 cells in the first meiotic division and then these two cells divide into two more cells so overall 4 cells are produced from one cell. This division occurs in gamete cells.

First, the amount of DNA gets double by converting the single-stranded DNA into double-stranded DNA. Then the homologous chromosomes get separated into two different cells in the first meiotic division and till now the chromosome number is 2N.  

After the second meiotic division, each sister chromatids of a chromosome gets separated into separate cells and the chromosome number in daughter cells becomes 1 N. So the major role of meiosis is to double the DNA mount and reduce the chromosome number by half in all daughter cells.

What is condensation
RUDIKE [14]

Condensation is the phase change from gas to liquid.  You can see condensation in the real world if you have a very cold drink.  A bottle of water filled with ice will attract water vapor from the air, and it will condensate around the bottle because the temperature is lower, which facilitates the phase change.  The outside of the bottle will contain a bunch of water droplets.

Hope this helps!!

Provide a summary of biologist Stephen Stearns’ findings in how Natural Selection may be working today in humans.
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Stephen Stearns states that natural selection doesn't mean the survival of the fittest organisms, but rather this mechanism is illustrated by the selective reproduction of the fittest. Natural selection can be classified into distinct types, including directional, disruptive and stabilizing selection, which are in turn based on sexual selection. These types of selection are driven by different outcomes that have different dynamics.
