What three processes lead to variation among offspring that have the same two parents?

Biology

beks73 [17]3 years ago
9 0

Explanation:

Genetic variation in offspring during sexual reproduction is caused by

  • crossing over
  • independent assortment
  • randomized fertilization

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells during cell division, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells. This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained.

Conversely in meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

  • crossing over:  the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.
  • independent assortment in metaphase I of meiosis: chromosomes align independently and genes segregate independently into new combinations ...in humans 2n, n = 23, 8 million combinations of chromosomes possible
  • randomized fertilization: sperm cells fertilize an ovum to form a zygote. This occurs randomly by chance, to result in a complete set of chromosomes 2n, that is a novel combination of half each parent's number of chromosomes

Both viral vectors and bacterial plasmids can be used to transfer genes into an organism. An invitro fertilisation could maybe be helpful, but not with engineered genes, but existing genes.

A) viral vectors is the best answer is viruses can be used to infect plants and  change their DNA- bacteria aren't as good, as they can mostly be used to modify other bacteria only

The process by which a new community forms where no community has lived before:
Dimas [21]

Answer:

<u><em>Primary Succession</em></u>

Explanation:

The process by which communities are established, develop and change in ecosystems is called succession. There are two types of succession. The first is primary succession. Primary succession occurs in an area that has not been previously occupied by a community.

<u><em> Primary succession is ecological succession that begins in essentially lifeless areas, </em></u><u><em>such as regions in which there is no soil or where the soil is incapable </em></u><u><em>of sustaining life (because of recent lava flows, newly formed sand dunes, or rocks left from a retreating glacier).</em></u>

<u><em>secondary succession, type of ecological succession (the evolution of a biological community's ecological structure) in which plants and animals recolonize a habitat after a major disturbance—such as a devastating flood, wildfire, landslide, lava flow, or human activity (e.g., farming or road or building construction)</em></u>
