An endangered seal species consists of a single population. An earthquake divides its habitat, creating one large population of

about 2,000 individuals and another, much smaller population of 50 individuals. Describe how the genetic variation of the smaller population compares to the genetic variation of original population.

Since the small population is, well, smaller, it's clear enough to see that the genetic variation among that population won't be as prevalent as it will in the larger population. The larger population simply has more genes to choose from, of course.

What occurs during nondisjunction and the effect of the resulting cells
Llana [10]

Answer:

Failure of chromosome to separate

Explanation:

The main essence of meiotic division is to form daughter cells with a reduced number of chromosomes that will maintain the correct chromosomal number in an organism. This is achieved when chromosomes separate during gamete formation (meiosis) to produce haploid (n) gametes.

However, a case may arise whereby chromosomes fail to separate during the anaphase stage of meiosis. This case is referred to as MEIOTIC NON-DISJUNCTION. As meiosis occurs in two stages i.e. meiosis I and II, so does meiotic nondisjunction. It can occur in meiosis I, where homologous chromosomes fail to separate or meiosis II, where sister chromatids fail to separate.

If it occurs in meiosis I, Two gametes will have a n-1 chromosome number i.e. one chromosome is missing while Two other gametes will have n+1 chromosome number i.e. one extra chromosome is added.

If it occurs in meiosis II, two normal haploid gametes (n) will be produced while the other two will have a n+1 and n-1 chromosome number respectively.

When these abnormal gametes (n+1, n-1) fuses with a normal gamete (n), the resulting organisms possess a chromosomal anomaly called ANEUPLOIDY i.e. a disorder in chromosomal number. The organisms will have 47 and 45 chromosomes depending on whether n+1 or n-1 gametes is involved respectively.
