During meiosis, chromosome pairs randomly line up along each side of the cell equator. This arrangement mixes up the chromosomal combinations, which
A. helps ensure reproductive success.
B. helps create and maintain genetic diversity.
C. helps maintain all of the previous generation's characteristics.
D. helps ensure an equal number of males and females in the next generation.
Answer:
B. DR, Dr, Rd, dr
Explanation:
This question involves two genes. Alleles D and R are dominant over alleles d and r. These two genes obey the law of independent assortment as proposed by Gregor Mendel.
Based on the question, a genotype RrDd will produce the following combination of gametes following the process of meiosis:
DR, Dr, dR, dr
The kelvin is the primary unit of temperature measurement in the physical sciences, but is often used in conjunction with the degree Celsius, which has the same magnitude. The definition implies that absolute zero (0 K) is equivalent to −273.15 °C (−459.67 °F).
