Answer:

1) Crossing over

2) Independent assortment.

Explanation:

Gametes are formed resulting from the process of meiosis where the gametes get half of the original number of chromosomes. One phenomenon that happens during the prophase 1 of Meiosis and leads to the genetic diversification is crossing over. In this process , Here, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange information present on genes from one another. When information is exchanged, it leads to the diversity of genetic data.

The second way of increasing genetic diversity is independent assortment that takes place during metaphase 1. In this process chromosomes from both father and mother cells align on equatorial plate of the cell in an independent manner. This means that some gamete can have 1 of many different chromosomal combinations.

This reshuffling of chromosomes during independent assortment enhances the genetic diversity of any organism and this also explains why kids of same parents can look or behave very different.

Hope it help!

How mutation cause colorectal cancer

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

A very small portion of colorectal cancers are caused by inherited gene mutations. Many of these DNA changes and their effects on the growth of cells are now known. For example: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), attenuated FAP (AFAP), and Gardner syndrome are caused by inherited changes in the APC gene.

Biological diversity, or biodiversity, has become a topic of great concern among conservationists. Biodiversity is often used by

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Large number of species and abundant resources.

Explanation:

Large number of species and abundant resources are the two characteristics shared by ecosystems that have high biodiversity. Habitat loss and pollution are the two specific human activities that result in a loss of biodiversity. Habitat loss occur when the human removed all the trees and vegetation in order to made the land for cultivation of crops or building houses. Pollution is the main cause that leads to loss of biodiversity. Human activities release gases which pollute the environment and leads to loss of biodiversity. Avoid activities that causes pollution and used of barren lands for cultivation and infrastructure. Climate change is naturally occurring factor that could lead to a loss of biodiversity. Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity and natural sustainability.
