Siblings Billy and Sue are brother and sister, but g are not genetic copies of each other. For example, Sue inherited their moth

er's copy of chromosome 13 but their father's copy of chromosome 14, while her brother Billy inherited their father's copy of both chromosomes 13 and 14. This is an example of:

Answer:

The options are

A.Independent assortment

B. Mutation

C. Crossing over

D. Non disjunction

The answer is A.Independent assortment

Explanation:

Independent assortment of genes involves the separation of genes during the formation and development of reproductive cells.

A boy has XY chromosome and a lady has XX chromosomes. This explains why Sue inherited the mother's copy of chromosome 13 but their father's copy of chromosome 14 while her brother Billy inherited their father's copy of both chromosomes 13 and 14. He inherited both due to the presence of XY chromosomes.

What is a recombination? How is it different from mutation
8_murik_8 [283]
Recombination
: the process occurring in Meiosis I, in which offspring are able to obtain unique traits resulting in an array of different phenotypes (physical appearances).

Prophase I,
the homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and exchange segments of alleles, and then lining up in the cell in a NON-uniform way.... therefore resulting in genetically unique offsprings rather than identitical.


Mutations are result of evolutionary factors. They create genetic diversity that helps species adjust to different climates, behaviours and foods. Mutations that occur in a fit indivual can result in offspring that are genetically more successful in adjustments to different climates, foods, and environments.


All in all Recombination results in unique looking indivuals, whereas mutations result in greater survival chances of a species.

Impulses are conducted by myelinafed axons by jumping from node to node in a process called a(n):
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

c. saltatory conduction  

Explanation:

An electrical impulse begins at the upper end of the neuron. This area is known as the axon ridge, and this ensures that the electrical impulse will travel in one direction only.

Through the myelin, the electrical impulse jumps from one node to another, instead of having to travel the entire distance from the axon. This type of signal conduction is called saltatory conduction.

Saltatory conduction speeds up impulse movement, as some axons may be up to one meter long. With this, the body achieves fast and efficient nerve conduction, and it is what allows you to react so quickly during reflexes.
