<span>Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes of equal length, size, and of corresponding genetic material. If, during meiosis, these chromosomes divide improperly, when they are re-combined with the opposite sex's portion, they will combine improperly. The unequal distribution of genetic material in reproduction will eventually create what's call an aneuploid germ cell: this germ cell results in dead zygotes, which leads to a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion in about 25 percent of all conceptions. So we see that it is imperative the genetic material of these chromosomes be exactly where it is supposed to be: so that it can combine perfectly with its compliment.</span>
Answer:
Fitness or aptitude
Explanation:
Aptitude (or fitness) is the genotype/phenotype that results in the survival, fertility, and capability of having a mate. It is a way of measuring the individual ability to leave fertile offspring.
Aptitude puts together everything that matters in natural selection. Includes the survival capability, finding a mate partner possibility, producing fertile descendants, and leaving the genes to the next generation. The aptitude of a genotype must be significant for natural selection to act in its favor.
Yes, If there were no concentration gradient of protons across the thylakoid membrane, the ATP synthase would not be able to convert ADP to ATP.
