Explain why meiosis is required in order for genetics, as scientists and you understand it, to function the way that it does
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Meiosis actually combines the genetic components from two people and doesn't result in a genetic copy of either parent, and each child receives different genes from each parent. It creates genetic diversity among species instead of every member of a species having identical genes.

Living things use many strategies for producing offspring, but most strategies fall neatly into the categories of either sexual
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

In asexual reproduction method, the offspring generated is identical genetically to the parents. But this is not the case in sexual reproduction. The reason being that the gametes or sex cells produced has only one set of chromosomes and are therefore haploid after the process of meiosis. Meiosis is the process when the offspring formed has chromosomes from two parents and is not identical to the parent. Only certain characteristics are inherited by the offspring from both the parents and offspring has different set of characteristics.  

There is a process of assortment taking place inside the cell when the double set of chromosomes becomes one set in a gamete. Out of the pair of chromosomes, there is a random selection. Due to this random assortment, there is a genetic variation between the gametes as the gene alleles on the chromosome are not the same. This principle is said to be the Mendel’s first law of segregation.  

Another process of combining chromosomes is the crossing over during the meiosis stage which results in variety of chromosomes. We can say that recombination is possible.  

Hence, we can note that during assortment and crossing over, there is no chance for two offspring to be identical to the same mother or father with the exception of identical twins. In the case of identical twins, the genetically identical characteristics develops from same fertilized egg.  

From the above process, the structure of gene gets changed creating a variant that can get transmitted to next generation. The change is caused by altering the single base units of DNA or rearranging larger section of genes.

which scientist realized that, by studying samples under a microscope, all animals are made up of cells?
zepelin [54]
Robert Hooke looked through a primitive microscope at a thinly cut piece of cork. He saw a series of walled boxes that reminded him of the tiny rooms, or cellula, occupied by monks.

All organisms are composed of one or more cells. The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms. All cells come from pre-existing cells. And Anton Van Leeuwenhoek made his version of the microscope and discovered something very odd when he looked a the gunk on his teeth.
