In this project, you will analyze claims about the causes of inherited genetic variation. You will then make your own claim base

d on prior knowledge. Next, you will defend your claim by conducting research to gather information that supports it. Finally, you will present your claim and defense in a typewritten paper.

Answer:

The two major causes of the inherited genetic variation are 1-mutations during DNA replication and 2-crossing over during meiosis

Explanation:

The mutations are changes in the genetic information that may be inherited when they occur in germline cells (i.e. sperms and ova). Mutations include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions and deletions (collectively named indels), and major chromosome arrangements such as, for example, aneuploidy, centric fusion, duplications, etc. On the other hand, the crossing over or recombination is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during Prophase I of Meiosis. Recombination is a phenomenon that generates new genetic combinations in the gametes and thus increase genetic diversity. Both germline mutations and crossing over events increase genetic variation in the offspring of the next generation, thereby these phenomena represent sources of inherited variation.

Please help! Will mark as brainliest.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Human gene therapy has been attempted on somatic (body) cells for diseases such as cystic fibrosis, adenosine deaminase deficiency, familial hypercholesterolemia, cancer, and severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) syndrome

How can “good” and “bad” uses of gene therapy be distinguished?

Who decides which traits are normal and which constitute a disability or disorder?

Will the high costs of gene therapy make it available only to the wealthy?

An individual running a marathon may experience periods of oxygen deprivation that can lead to
Harman [31]

Answer:

A. anaerobic respiration in muscle cells, forming lactic acid

Explanation:

Running marathon is a vigorous exercise, which often leads to excessive use of oxygen in the cells of the athlete. This causes the cells to switch from the aerobic (with oxygen) to the anaerobic (without oxygen) mode of respiration. This anaerobic respiration produces a product called LACTATE OR LACTIC ACID.

The lactic acid becomes excessive and gets stored in the muscle cells of the athlete. This often leads to cramps, muscle pulls etc. during the marathon. Therefore, an individual running a marathon may experience periods of oxygen deprivation that can lead to anaerobic respiration in muscle cells, forming lactic acid.
