Answer AND Explanation:

<u>FACTORS THAT CAUSE GENETIC VARIATIONS</u>

  1. Crossing over. At the chiasmata during prophase I of meiosis, breakage may occur and exchange of genetic information may take place. New gene combinations which result in variations.
  2. Independent assortment. The arrangement of homologous chromosomes at the equator of the spindle during metaphase of the first meiotic division is random. These homologous chromosomes segregate into different daughter cells which contain different genetic combinations which brings about variation
  3. Fertilisation permits parental genes to be brought together in different combinations. This is the cause of variations in members of the same family.
  4. Mutation is the spontaneous change in the genetic makeup of an organism. These changes may be inherited by the offspring therefore beginning variation.

Atoms gain electrons to form anions.

Atoms lose electrons to form cations.

Back in middle school, my chemistry teacher taught me a good way to remember whether an ion was a cation or an anion. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positive, and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative.

Cation sort of sounds like “cat,” which is positive (Yay! Cats!).

Anions, on the other hand, sounds like “onion,” which is negative (Ew! Onions!).

There’s other ways of memorizing it, but this way was the easiest for me.
