The aspect of chromosome behavior that most clearly accounts for Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment is the replication of chromosomes. The replication occurs before meiosis. As a result, the alleles of one gene can be sorted into gametes and are independent of the alleles of other genes.
Answer:
The correct answer is option d. "India was a separate continent until 45 million years ago".
Explanation:
135 million years ago, Pangea was a single continent that became separated into Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. India was part of Gondwana along with Australia, South America, Antarctica and Africa. However, as a result of tectonic activity India got separated from Gondwana. This period of time at which India was a separated continent is the factor that most likely explains why animals and plants in India differ greatly from species in nearby southeast Asia. At being a separated continent, India's plants and animals go through an independent evolutionary process which made them very different an unique from nearby species.
The two events that occur when gravity causes a nebula to collapse into itself are:
A. Nuclear fusion start.
B. A new star forms.
Explanation:
- Nebula are giant clouds of dust and gases.
- These clouds are considered as progenitors of stars and planets.
- The gravitational pull within these giant clouds result these large masses to collapse towards their centre.
- The gravitational collapse results in tremendous rise in temperature till a point where nuclear fusion begin .
- The stars are born out of such mechanism and act as a source of heat and light in universe.
