Answer:
<u><em>PROPHASE</em></u>
Explanation:
The first stage in Meiosis I is prophase I. During this stage the DNA condenses into chromosomes. During prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange sections of DNA. This is called recombination or crossing over
Answer:
b. the bottleneck effect.
Explanation:
The bottleneck effect occurs when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation. This will result in a very reduced genetic variation, which can lead to further adaptation problems.
The Founder effect has its similarities (in terms of the resulting reduced genetic pool) with the bottleneck effect, BUT it occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population.
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle in population genetics that states that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next IF certain conditions are present (no migration, aleatory mating, among others), so this is not the answer.
Genetic drift (refers to the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant in a population due to random sampling of organisms, so it is not the answer.
Answer:
variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce.
Explanation:
Answer:
Option-A
Explanation:
Fertilization refers to the fusion of the male and female gamete to form the zygote.
When the fertilization occurs inside the organism through insemination then it is known as the internal fertilization and when it occurs outside the organism like observed in the amphibians when male and female gametes fuse in the water is known as external fertilization.
Both are different type of fertilization but share a similarity that is the formation of a single cell called the zygote which grows into the embryo by the mitotic division. The embryo later develops into the organism.
Thus, Option-A is correct.
