Random orientation of homologous pairs of chromosomes during meiosis I results in alternative arrangements that contribute to genetic variation in offspring. This is called "independent assortment".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The sets of homologous chromosomes, also recognized as bivalents or tetrads, align along the metaphase plate in a random order in metaphase I of meiosis I. Another way for cells to incorporate genetic variation is by spontaneous orientation. Mendel's independent assortment law stipulates that, independently of one another, the alleles of two or more different genes are sorted into gamets.

In other terms, for one gene, the allele that a gamete receives does not affect the allele that is obtained for another.Genetic recombination (by random segregation) and crossing over during meiosis creates daughter cells each containing different combinations of maternally and paternally coded genes.

Which best describes the offspring of protists?
Hunter-Best [27]

Options found elsewhere:

-always genetically identical to one parent

-always genetically identical to both parents

-never genetically identical to one parent

-sometimes genetically different than both parents

Answer:

-sometimes genetically different than both parents

Explanation:

Protists are eukaryotes that cannot be classed as animals, plants, or fungi. They are quite diverse. Examples include amoeba, plasmodium, and slime mould.

Because they are so diverse, protists also have very different modes of reproduction. Some protists undergo asexual reproduction, where they simply make a copy of themselves without a mate. Others undergo sexual reproduction.

Therefore, the only option that can be correct is "-sometimes genetically different than both parents" .

If they were always genetically identical to one parent or both parents, that would mean that sexual reproduction could not be possible. If they were never genetically identical to one parent, that would mean that asexual reproduction could not be taking place.
