<u>The offspring are genetically unique. </u>
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Meiosis is a form of cell division that is concentrated towards the reproductive cells. In this cell division the diploid cells (two sets of chromosomes) undergo reduction to form a haploid cell (one set of chromosome). The haploid cell produces sperms and eggs.
Meiosis occurs in two levels Meiosis I and II. Chromosomal segregation happens during meiosis I and II to produce a genetic diversity. The important net result obtained by the meiosis is to produce a genetically unique offspring.
Answer:
Chiasma
Explanation:
During meiosis, more precisely, prophase 1 homologous chromosomes connect in a process known as synapsis and form tetrad structure (four chromatides). Non-sister chromatids mayrecombine with their homologous partner which is known as crossing over, the process in which genetic variabilty is produced. These non-sister chromatids remain physically connected at the points of exchange known as chiasmata.
The arc length is calculated by using the equation below:
Arc length = 2πr ( C/360)
where r is the radius and C is the central angle.
<span>Arc length = 2π(6) ( 65/360)
</span>Arc length = 6.81 inches
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
Because natural selection acts directly only on phenotypes, more genetic variation within a population usually enables more phenotypic variation. Some new alleles increase an organism's ability to survive and reproduce, which then ensures the survival of the allele in the population.
