How does independent assortment during Metaphase 1 help produce diversity in gametes (eggs and sperm)?

Biology

Svetach [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a. There are different possible ways that homologous pairs might line up

c. Different alignments of homologous pairs will cause different combinations of alleles in gametes.

Explanation:

The law of independent assortment, proposed by Mendel, states that the alleles of one gene segregate into gametes independently of the alleles of another gene. This means that the segregation of one gene does not affect another. This law of independent assortment is evident during gamete formation in sexually-reproducing organisms know as meiosis. Specifically, in the Metaphase 1 stage of meiosis 1, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) lines up at the metaphase plate (cell equator).

The lining up of chromosomes in this stage occurs randomly making it possible for chromosomes to align in different possible ways. The way/manner the chromosomes align at the equator determines which chromosome combination gets separated into which gamete. The homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed at the cell's equator before segregates into gametes. This random orientation enables the alleles of each gene on a chromosome to combine in different random ways, hence, allowing genetic diversity in the resulting gametes (sperm and egg) they get segregated into.

Naya [18.7K]

Unintentional learning occurs when behavior is modified through a consumer-stimulus interaction without any effortful allocation of cognitive processing capacity toward that stimulus

This suggests that user behaviour may vary based on how sensitive they are to information that was not available to them when they conducted the previous study.

This occurs as the behaviour is altered in response to the stimulus via a consumption-stimulus relationship without the arduous allocation of cognitive capacity.

<h3>What is Unintentional learning ?</h3><h3 />

Learning that happens accidentally as a result of activities when the learner has no deliberate objective of learning is known as incidental learning. Incidental learning occurs, for instance, when someone plays a sport for enjoyment yet gradually develops their skills.

Explain how structure x help a young axolotl survive as it grows
Butoxors [25]
Axolotl is a Mexican salamander or Abystoma Mexicanum.  It can survive as it grows through True Cellular Regeneration.  This  is the ability to regenerate cells, tissues and organs without the need of transplants.  T<span>he axolotl is unique in the sense that it can renew several structures like limbs, jaws, tail, spinal cord, skin throughout their lives. They can even receive transplanted organs from other individuals and accept them without difficulty.</span>

Calculate the mass of an object whose weight is 400 N and acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2​
aivan3 [116]

weight=mass*gravitational accelaration

we know the weight and the gravitational acceleration

400N=m*10m/s^2

m=400N/10m/2^2

m=40kg
