How does crossing over in meiosis result in genetic variation?

1 answer:

8 0

Cross over is the first way genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Cross over takes place in sexual reproduction. The normal way that cross over occurs is chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other.

If they break the pieces at the same locus in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called genetic recombination and it ensures that the daughter cells produced have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity occurs.

Which condition would most likely lead to an increase in the frequency of an altruistic behavior in a population?.

podryga [215]

The beneficiaries of the behavior are related to the individual performing it. Groups that differ in terms of altruistic and selfish genotypes have differential reproduction or survival.

<h3>What is Altruistic behavior ?</h3><h3 />

Altruism is the practise of acting in a way that benefits another person at the expense of oneself. Giving someone else your lunch, for instance, is altruistic since it satisfies their need while also leaving you hungry.

Nepotistic altruism, reciprocal altruism (or mutualism), group-based altruism, and moral altruism are the four categories of altruism.

Along with cortical areas like the medial prefrontal cortex and the temporoparietal junction, the desire to act altruistically is linked to higher activity in limbic areas like the nucleus accumbens and anterior cingulate cortex.
