The process of ____________ increases genetic variability as it produces gametes for sexual reproduction

2 answers:

8 0

The answer is meiosis. This biological process involves the formation of 4 gametes from a pre-gamete cell. The gametes are haploid in nature, unlike somatic cells which are diploid. The gametes will have variability in the genetic makeup due to phenomenon such as crossing over between chromosomes.

The process of meiosis increases genetic variability as it produces gametes for sexual reproduction.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

fredd [130]

Answer:

Las unidades de Mendel se conocen ahora como GENES

Explanation:

Durante sus experimentos, Mendel demostró que las características de las plantas de guisante (por ejemplo color de la flor, color de la semilla, forma de la semilla, altura de la planta, etcétera) eran heredadas, y denominó "elementos" a las unidades portadoras de dichas características. Es decir que cada elemento o unidad discreta, era el responsable de que la planta exprese una u otra característica. Estableció que estos elementos se redistribuían independientemente uno de otro, generación tras generación. Con el paso del tiempo y el avance de las investigaciones, estas unidades o elementos fueron denominados Genes.

Long legs (L) in racing horses is dominant to short legs (l). Good muscle tone (G) is dominant to weak muscle tone (g). Determin

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Long leg (L) is dominant over short leg (l) and Good muscles (G) is dominant over weak muscles (g).

Heterozygous long leg, weak muscle = Llgg

Heterozygous long leg, strong muscle = LlGg

Llgg x LlGg

Offspring:

2 LLGg - Long leg, strong muscle

4 LlGg - Long leg, strong muscle

2 LLgg - Long leg, weak muscle

4 Llgg - long leg, weak muscle

2 llGg - short leg, strong muscle

2 llgg - short leg, weak muscle

Ratio of offspring with long leg and strong muscle = 6/16 or 3/8

Ratio of offspring with long leg and weak muscle = 6/16 or 3/8

Ratio of offspring with short leg and strong muscle = 2/16 or 1/8

Ratio of offspring with short leg and weak muscle = 2/16 or 1/8

Difference between osmosis, diffusion and plasmolysis

pickupchik [31]

Osmosis is the movement of water particles from an area of high concentration of water particles to an area of low concentration of water particles across a semi permeable membrane

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration of particles to an area of low concentration of particles across a partially permeable membrane

Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cytoplasm if a plant cell in response to diffusion of water out of the cell and into a high salt concentration solution as the cell membrane would pull away from the cell wall
