How does crossing over in meiosis result in genetic variation?

Biology
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
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.

Explanation:

A disease can be defined as any harmful or abnormal deviation of the body of a living organism from its functional state or normal structure, which is typically accompanied by certain signs and symptoms.

Basically, a disease negatively affects the function or structure of the body of a living organism.

The different types of diseases experienced by living organisms include the following;

1. Lupus: occurs when the immune system attacks the body. It is referred to as an autoimmune disease.

2. Cardiovascular disease: is often caused by obesity resulting from overeating and poor nutrition.

3. Huntington disease: is caused by DNA changes in a single gene and affects the nerve cells in the brain.

4. Cancer: is caused by uncontrolled cell growth.

5. Diabetes: occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the body does not respond properly to it.

PROJECT: HOMEOSTASIS
Semenov [28]
Maintaining Homeostasis. The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. ... Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas.
The normal blood glucose level (tested while fasting) for non-diabetics, should be between 3.9 and 5.5 mmol/L (70 to 100 mg/dL). ...
 Blood sugar levels for those without diabetes and who are not fasting should be below 6.9 mmol/L (125 mg/dL).
There are lots of different hormones in the human body that serve lots of different functions, but some are used to maintain homeostasis of various physiological parameters, like blood glucose levels. Blood glucose levels are regulated by two opposing hormones: insulin and glucagon.
