Answer:

Reproduction sexual results in offspring with greater genetic wariation

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction gives greater variability because it allows the offspring to inherit chromosomes and genes from both parents producing random combinations of characters. In meiosis half of chromosomes corresponds to the mother and half to the father; therefore, half of the chromosomes are paternal and half are maternal. Another source of variation by chromosomal combination in meiosis is crossing-over where the combination occurs between the maternal and paternal chromosomes, but is performed within each pair of homologues, multiplying the types of gametes that are formed.

On the other hand, mitosis or asexual reproduction produces identical organisms, so the genetic variation is very low.

Which organism has the highest percentage of adenine?
kirill [66]
<span>Yeast has the most important percentage of adenine with 31.3%, comparing to human which has 30.9% and other species like Streptococcus, Herring, and E.coli.

Generally, the percentage of adenine and thymine are equal, because they are linked together in the DNA, and the guanine and cytosine percentage are equal too. So if we have the percentage of adenine in the DNA of a species, we can figure out the other percentages.</span>

olasank [31]

What phenotypic ratio would you expect as a result of a test cross between a dihybrid organism and one that is homozygous recessive for alleles at two independent loci?

a. 3:1

b. 9:3:3:1

c. 1:1:1:1

d. 1:2:1

e. 9:4:2:1

Answer:

c. 1:1:1:1

Explanation:

When a heterozygous individual for two genes is test crossed with a double homozygous recessive individual, the progeny is obtained in 1:1:1:1 phenotypic ratio. This occurs as the heterozygous dominant individual forms four types of gametes in 1:1:1:1 ratio while the homozygous recessive individual would form only one type of gamete having one recessive allele for each gene.  

For example, a test cross between TtRr (tall and red) and ttrr (short and white) would produce a progeny in following ratio=

1 tall, red: 1 tall, white: 1 short, red: 1 short, white

Here, T= tall, t= short, R= red, r= white
