Answer:

difference:

1. The generation mechanism is different, the mechanical wave is generated by mechanical vibration; the electromagnetic wave generation mechanism is also different, there is the periodic movement of electrons (radio waves); the outer electrons with atoms are generated after being excited (infrared, visible, ultraviolet) The inner electrons with atoms are generated after excitation (roentgen rays); the nuclei with atoms are generated after excitation (gamma rays).

2. The propagation mechanism is different: the mechanical interaction between the particles and the alternating induction of the electromagnetic field.

3. Mechanical waves have both transverse waves and longitudinal waves; electromagnetic waves are material waves and belong to transverse waves.

4. The influence of the medium on the propagation speed is different

Which of the following is not a way that sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Combined parenting leads to faster reproduction

Explanation:

Genetic diversity or variations in the physical appearance of organisms is caused by genetic or environmental factors. Reproduction brings about variation through gamete formation, fertilization and mutations.

During prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair to form bivalents. The crossing over at the chiasmata results in new gene combination and variations.

Fertilization permits parental genes to be brought together. This causes variations in members of the same family.

Mutation is the spontaneous change in genetic make-up. These changes may be inherited by offspring bringing variations. However, combining parenting does not increase genetic diversity.

Explanation:

Shotgun sequencing is a method used to determine the nucleotide sequence of entire chromosomes/genomes. This sequencing method consists of obtaining random DNA fragments which are subsequently classified by bioinformatic tools that ordering them according to overlapping sequences called contigs. In the whole-genome shotgun (WGS) technique, the entire genome of an organism is sequenced, being the critical factor the depth of sequencing, which refers to the quality of the sequencing reads (e.g., a depth of 20X indicates that the genome is sequenced 20 times by a sequencing machine). For the human genome, WGS became available after the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP), which enabled the generation of a reference sequence for the whole human genome. The steps of the WGS technique are the following:

1. Preparation of isolated chromosomes

2. The DNA is sheared into small fragments

3. The DNA fragments of about 1 kilobase (1000 base pairs) are incorporated into plasmids which are cloned to render pure samples of each DNA fragment

4. The plasmid clones are sequenced by sequencing machines

5. Bioinformatic tools finally are used to link DNA fragments by their overlapping ends
