The horse and donkey, though closely related by sharing a common ancestor, are different species. They have different number of chromosomes hence pairing of homologous chromosomes during fusion of gametes becomes complicated. The mule will have an extra chromosome from the horse hence will have abnormalities such as sterility. A Mule is unable to reproduce due to this same phenomenon. Homologous chromosomes are not well paired for meiosis I.
Answer:
Mutation, Gene flow/Migration/Immigration of gene and Recombination
Explanation:
For any species there are majorly three sources of genetic variations –
a) Mutation – This leads to change in the genetic code with in the DNA of an organism. Sometimes mutation does not produce any effect on the organism. Mutation can produce both positive and negative impact. Its effect is observed in long run as its rate is slow.
b) Recombination – When an organism undergoes sex, his/her genes recombine with the genes of mating partner. The rate of recombination is faster than the rate of mutation
c) Gene flow /Migration/Immigration of gene – In this gene travel from one set of population to the other. The frequency of gene in the mixed population lies between the original population gene frequency and the migrated or donor population gene frequency
Answer:An increase in these gases in the atmosphere enhances the atmosphere's ability to trap heat, which leads to an increase in the average surface temperature of the Earth. As a result, the Earth's average surface temperature is kept at about 15°C by the blanket of atmosphere that surrounds it.
