Elena L [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Alleles are recombined when gametes from different parents join together.

Explanation:

Genetic variation is increased by sexual reproduction in 3 main ways

1. Random mating - individual organisms reproduce with each other at random, meaning new combinations of DNA come together when fertilization occurs

2. Crossing over - during meiosis, when homologous chromosomes align, they can exchange genetic material by a process called crossing over, or homologous recombination. This means the alleles on each homologous chromosome are reshuffled, creating new combinations.

3. Independent assortment - When gametes are formed, a diploid cell duplicates its DNA and forms 4 haploid cells. Each of the homologous pair of chromosomes in the diploid align in the centre of the cell to be split into the gametes at each division. The orientation at which they line up is random, so every gamete gets a different selection of chromosomes (which themselves have been shuffled bt crossing over).

Only the 1st option (Alleles are recombined when gametes from different parents join together.) is correct. This represents the process of random mating, where new combinations of alleles are formed during fertilization between two individuals.

The potassium remaining is 1/4 of the original, so two half lives have passed.
One half life = 1.25 billion years
Two half lives = 1.25 x 2 = 2.5 billion years

How and why might actual soils differ from the idealized six-horizon soil profile
madam [21]

The idealized six-horizon soil profile is not a good representation of all soils because there are big variations, mainly because of the climate factors.

Explanation:

When a soil profile is presented, it is often the one that pretty much everyone knows, the six-horizon profile. This is not a good representation of all soils though, or rather for most of the soils, as the situation in reality is much different. This six-horizon profile is actually idealized, or rather as to how a soil profile should look like.

Lot of the soil types across the world don't have six horizons, or their depths are much different than in the idealized profile. The main reason for this is the climate, as it is the basic factor that later influences all the other ones that influence the formation of soil. We can take the desert soil and polygonal soil as examples:

  • The desert soil is very poor in nutrients. The O horizon is either few mm or non-existent. It contains salts.
  • The polygonal soil is also very poor in nutrients, with the O horizon also being just few mm. This soil lacks rock base, as well as depth, as it is often only few cm deep.
