Answer:

Crossing over and random alignment are the events of meiosis-I that add new gene combinations to the gametes. Random fusion of male and female gametes is called random fertilization.

Explanation:

During the pachytene stage of meiosis-I, part of the chromatids of each of the homologous chromosomes of a bivalent is broken apart and exchanged. This exchange of the genetic material between the members of a bivalent is called crossing over. The recombinant chromatids formed by crossing over have new allele combinations that were otherwise not present in the parental chromatids.

During metaphase I, the homologous pairs are aligned at the cell's equator in a random manner. This means that either the paternal or maternal chromosome of a pair may face one or the other pole of the cell. The arrangement of chromosomes during metaphase-I determines whether the paternal or maternal chromosome of each pair would be distributed to one or the other pole of the cell. This random segregation creates new gene combinations in gametes.

All the gametes have equal chances of getting fused with a gamete from the opposite gender. This is called random fertilization and further adds variations.

patriot [66]

Answer:

Leaching of nutrients occur.

Explanation:

NPK fertilizers are applied to the field all over the world because it has a good effect on the growth and development of plants but it has also some environmental effects such as leaching which pollutes water bodies whereas natural compost is good for the plants as well as for the soil organisms but its breakdown is very slow and it is not readily available to the plants. Lime is also very good for the soil having low pH because lime is basic in nature and it increases the pH of the soil.

The body system that stimulates eating or drinking is the ________ system. The body system that stimulates eating or drinking is
lisov135 [29]

Answer: Nervous system.

Explanation:

Nervous system is the system in the body that consists of nerves,cells that coordinates action and sensory information and transmit nerve impulses between the body and the brain. In the body, Ghrelin is an hormone or chemical produced in the stomach. This stimulate hunger by acting on neurons in the hypothalamus which make the nerve cells that cause hunger to increase in their activity and reduce hunger inhibiting cells. The hypothalamus produce two proteins that cause hunger: neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related peptide (AGRP. This create a signals and it is send to the brain. The brain interprete it as hunger and send the signal to the hypothalamus which then influence eating behavior.

Which of these is accomplished by the interaction of haploid cells in sexually reproducing organisms? A. deletion of genetic mat
Licemer1 [7]

The right answer is D.

A gamete is a generally haploid reproductive cell specialized in fertilization, or gamy (that is to say, able to fuse with another gamete, complementary type if necessary), in eukaryotes.

The process that carries out the fusion of two gametes is called fertilization or gamy, it is the complementary event of meiosis. Fertilization produces a new single cell, called a zygote, whose chromosome number has doubled to 2n.
