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.

What atmospheric condition caused London's "killer smog of 1952 and regularly causes smog
wariber [46]

Answer:

London smog results from a high concentration of sulfur oxides in the air and is caused by the use of sulfur-bearing fossil fuels, particularly coal. This type of smog is aggravated by dampness and a high concentration of delayed particulate matter in the air.

Explanation:

So, the answer would be B or D.

But, it is most likely B due to dampness.

Your friend brings you rocks with a thick layer of oxidation weathering, and no other visible signs of weathering. this is a clu
Vsevolod [243]
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water. There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological. For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options. A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water. * Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice. A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water. * Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice. A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation. * Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice. A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process. * Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>
