<h2>Primates </h2>
Explanation:
Primates are a group of animals has flexible hands and feet, large brains in relation to body size, forward-looking eyes, and arms that can rotate in a circle around the shoulder joint
- Primates include the lemurs,lorises,monkeys,apes and humans
- The order Primates, with its 300 or more species, is the third most diverse order of mammals, after rodents and bats
- The Primates order is divided informally into three main groups: prosimians, monkeys of the New World, and monkeys and apes of the Old World
- All primates have five fingers (pentadactyly), a generalized dental pattern, and a primitive body plan
- Another distinguishing feature of primates is fingernails
- Opposing thumbs are also a characteristic primate feature
- When compared with body weight, the primate brain is larger than that of other terrestrial mammals, and it has a fissure unique to primates that separates the first and second visual areas on each side of the brain
- The eyes face forward in all primates so that the eyes visual fields overlap
- Fossils of the earliest primates date to the Early Eocene Epoch (56 million to 40 million years ago) or perhaps to the Late Paleocene Epoch (59 million to 56 million years ago)
Answer:
The law of independent assortment states that the different genes get separated independently of each other and gets assorted into gametes to produce different combination of genes.
It was formulates by famous scientist G. Mendel based on his work on peas.
For example, in a traditional dihybrid cross of true breeding round and yellow seed plant with wrinkled and green seed plant, F2 generation show four different combinations of phenotype:
- round and yellow
- round and green
- wrinkled and yellow
- wrinkled and green
It shows that genes for round and yellow were independently inherited and genes for wrinkled and green were independently inherited. Else, new combinations could not be observed.
Homologous recombination is an event that takes place in prophase I during meiosis. The genetic material is exchanged between the non-sister chromtids of homologous chromosomes. It adds into the genetic variation within a population by producing more combination of genes in the gametes.
It does not violate the law of independent assortment as the genes were independently assorted. It only helps in producing more combinations of genes.
