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.

Why do you pass out if you lock your knees?
Inga [223]
It's caused by blood pooling in the legs, so there's insufficient return to the heart and brain. Normally, moving one's legs helps to pump blood back to the heart through muscle contraction. Locking the knees makes standing still easier, but reduces use of the leg muscles. In some people, this pooling may lead to hypoperfusion of the brain and fainting, which is essentially the body's way of putting the brain and the legs and the heart at the same level.

Describes lipids in water
tangare [24]

Answer:

Ok

Explanation:

Molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates have an affinity for water and are called hydrophilic (“water-loving”). Lipids, however, are hydrophobic (“water-fearing”). Some lipids are amphipathic—part of their structure is hydrophilic and another part, usually a larger section, is hydrophobic. Hope this helped
