Sexual reproduction in eukaryotes increases genetic variation. In prokaryotes, transformation, transduction, and conjugation are

mechanisms that increase genetic variation. A fundamental difference between the generations of genetic variation in the two domains is:A. Eukaryotic genetic variation occurs with vertical gene transfer while prokaryotic genetic variation occurs with horizontal gene transfer.
B. Eukaryotic variation occurs primarily within a single generation while prokaryotic variation occurs over many generations.
C. Crossing over is a major mechanism in creating genetic variation in prokaryotes while independent assortment is a major mechanism in eukaryotes.
D. Eukaryotes are able to generate mutations in response to environmental stress while prokaryotes only generate random variation.

Answer:

Eukaryotic genetic variation occurs with vertical gene transfer while prokaryotic genetic variation occurs with horizontal gene transfer.

Explanation:

Genetic variation is when the genetic content of the offsprings are different from that of the parents. It is a phenomenon achieved in different ways by different organisms. Eukaryotic organisms undergo sexual and asexual reproduction in which they transfer genetic material (DNA) to their offsprings. This process of transfer of DNA from parents to their offsprings is called VERTICAL GENE TRANSFER. In sexually reproducing organisms, meiosis is undergone where CROSSING-OVER is the process that increases the chances of genetic diversity.

However, in prokaryotic cells that use other methods like transformation, transduction and conjugation to increase genetic diversity among their species since asexual reproduction does not produce genetically different offsprings. Prokaryotes like bacteria transfer or receive genetic material (DNA) from other bacteria species that are not their offsprings. This process is called HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER.

Answer:

The stages of the moon

Explanation:  

The term menstruation is related to the moon stages. Because of their coincidence in occurrence and in their duration time, people used to associate the feminine cycle to the moon cycle.

It is commonly said that the ovulation stage coincides with the full moon stage. In the same way, menstruation occurs when there is a new moon.

What really occurs is that the feminine period might or might not coincides with the moon cycle, and depends on each woman. But this is not a strict rule.

The duration of a woman´s cycle depends on every woman, on the raze, on the age, among many other factors. The fact that sometimes the feminine cycle coincides with the moon cycle, does not mean that the moon determines the cycle stages in a woman.

In what way do kinetochore microtubules facilitate the process of splitting the centromeres? they phosphorylate the centromere,
Ugo [173]
The answer is ‘they create tension by pulling toward opposite poles’. Kinetochores change between persistent phases of movement towards the pole (poleward) or inversed (anti-poleward), which are coupled with alternating states of kMTs (kinetochore microtubules) depolymerization and polymerization, respectively. A low tension at kinetochores promotes change towards kMTs depolymerization, and high tension promotes change towards kMTs polymerization.
