Genetic Variation:Question 8

Biology
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).

By the end of meiosis, the resulting reproductive cells, or gametes, each have 23 genetically unique chromosomes. The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell.

Explanation:

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes (1 from each parent) pair along their lengths. The chromosomes cross over at points called chiasma. At each chiasma, the chromosomes break and rejoin, trading some of their genes. This recombination results in genetic variation.

Homeostasis is maintained by which of the following organ systems in humans?
a_sh-v [17]

A. Multiple organ systems working together

Explanation:

All of the organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis in humans because each system does something different. For example, the circulatory system delivers oxygen rich blood to the bones and the bones create new blood cells. When one thing is wrong with one system, it affects all of the systems, like a disease. Another example of this would be the central nervous systems and endocrine working together to coordinate messages to the brain about the body's state while resting and exercising to maintain homeostasis.
