Under what environmental conditions would a zygote not undergo meiosis

Biology
1 answer:
sashaice [31]3 years ago
8 0

A zygote will not undergo meiosis in an environmental state that is not favorable for the zygote’s survival i.e. the chance of the zygote to survive is not certain. Take for example, chlamydomonas will form a zygote under normal asexual mitotic reproduction in a favorable environmental condition. However, under unfavorable environmental conditions the organism also reproduce sexually to form a zygote but will never proceed to meiotic division because of the unfavorable environmental state.

Base your answer to the question on the information below and on your knowledge of biology.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

They can perform photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food, and heterotrophs are organisms that feed on other organisms. This means that the ameba and paramecium can eat only other microorganisms.

The euglena is not limited to this. Hypothetically speaking, if there were no other microorganisms around it (which is unlikely), the euglena would not die as long as it is exposed to sunlight. Thanks to chloroplasts, organelles that contain chlorophyll, it can perform photosynthesis - a process in which, with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide, minerals, and water are used to synthesize food.

How does the sexual life cycle of the human species introduce genetic variations?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

In humans, genetic variations are caused because humans reproduce by a sexual life cycle which is termed as meiosis. In such a life cycle, the offspring receives half the chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. Crossing over and  random assortment of chromosomes are two phenomenons which occur during meiosis. Due to these two phenomenons, genetic variations are caused.

During crossing over, the exchange of DNA segments between the homologous chromosomes takes place which brings about the genetic variations.
