Answer: Meiosis produces the sex cells, that is the gametes (sperm cells and eggs) that unite to form a zygote. Meiosis ensures that the gametes have have haploid chromosomes so that the resulting zygote from their fusion will have diploid chromosomes.
Explanation: Meiosis is a type of cell division in which a cell divides twice to produce four daughter cells each with the half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Without meiosis new gametes are not produced. Meiosis ensures that the chromosomes are evenly distributed among the daughter cells and that each daughter cell contains 23 chromosomes. A sperm cell with 23 chromosomes fuses with an egg with 23 chromosomes to form a zygote with 46 chromosomes. If meiosis does not occur, gametes with haploid chromosomes will not be produced, and if the gametes have diploid chromosomes because meiosis does not occur, sexual reproduction will be a disaster because when two diploid gametes fuse the resulting zygote with be abnormal.
The key difference between hominins and all other anthropoids is that hominins have bipedal posture, which plainly put means that they walk on two feet.
A. The sun, because there has been theory’s of the sun being able to heat earth from there being a lot of iron in the middle of earth.
Answer:
120 white individuals
30 yellow individuals
10 green individuals
Explanation:
Available data:
- Dominant epistasis: Phenotypic frequencies 12:3:1
- W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype
- w allele codes for a colored squash
- Y allele codes for a dominant yellow phenotype
- y allele codes for a recessive green phenotype
- W allele will always mask the phenotype produced by Y or y alleles

F1 Phenotypic Frequency)
White phenotype: 12/16 = 120 individuals
Yellow phenotype: 3/16 = 30 individuals
Green Phenotype: 1/16 = 10 individuals
To know how many offspring are expected to have the white, yellow, and green phenotypes, you can perform a three simple rule. This is:
16 ------- 160 offspring
12 White ------- X = 120 offspring
3 Yellow ------- X= 30 offspring
1 Green --------X = 10 offspring
Answer:
A genetic drift is defines as the change in the allele frequency of an existing population. It arises as a result of random variation in a population. The rate of genetic drift would be greatest in a small population that are geographically isolated from the parent population. A change in the allele frequency of a population as a result of chance rather than the natural selection.
