How does the sexual life cycle of the human species introduce genetic variations?

Biology
1 answer:
kari74 [83]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

In humans, genetic variations are caused because humans reproduce by a sexual life cycle which is termed as meiosis. In such a life cycle, the offspring receives half the chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. Crossing over and  random assortment of chromosomes are two phenomenons which occur during meiosis. Due to these two phenomenons, genetic variations are caused.

During crossing over, the exchange of DNA segments between the homologous chromosomes takes place which brings about the genetic variations.

Reil [10]
This can cause other organisms that relay on this specific aquifer to find other sources of water or die. 

<span>An aquifer is actually an underground layer of water that contains permeable rocks, gravel, sand etc. the water can be brought to the surface by making a water well. Hydrogeology is the study of aquifers and the way of water flow in the aquifers. The depth of the aquifers differs from area to area and the aquifers that are closest to the surface are used for drinking and irrigation purposes. </span>

How do archaea and bacteria differ?​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The archaea and the bacteria both are prokaryotes. However, the genetic makeup of the archaea is more similar to the eukaryotes. Moreover, they have differences, in their metabolic pathways, genes and the enzymes possessed by them.

Explanation:

The differences between Archaea and bacteria:

1. The cell wall of the bacteria consist of peptidoglycan, while the cell wall of the archaea consist of pseudo-peptidoglycan.

2. The bacteria are capable of spore formation, which can lie dormant for long periods of time until a suitable condition is found for their growth. The archaea are not known to form such spores.

3. The genes of the archaea are more similar to the eukaryotes than the bacteria.

4. The bacteria are found everywhere where the living conditions are suitable (soil, air, living beings, non-living things). the archaea are capable of surviving in extreme conditions (hot springs, salt brine).

5. The bacteria use the process of glycolysis and follows Kreb's cycle for glucose break-down. The archaea do not undergo glycolysis or Kreb's cycle.
