Answer:

Sexual reproduction is able to generate genetic variation in offspring by 1-independent assortment and 2-recombination during meiosis, and 3-random fertilization.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that increases the amount of genetic variation in offspring by three main mechanisms: independent assortment of homologous chromosome pairs and recombination during meiosis, and random union of gametes during fertilization. First, sexual reproduction is associated with the independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis, i.e., the orientation of homologous chromosome pairs is a random process that is different for every cell that undergoes meiosis. In consequence, chromosomes assort randomly into gametes, thereby the segregation of alleles of a gene pair is independent of the segregation of another set of alleles of a different gene (as stated in the law of independent assortment). Second, sexual reproduction generates genetic variation by recombination, which is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during meiosis I (prophase I). This genetic process (recombination) is able to generate new alleles in offspring. Third, sexual reproduction also involves the random union of two haploids (n) gametes during fertilization, which results in the formation of a diploid (2n) zygote that develops into a new individual. In humans, the sperm cell has 8 million possible (2²³) chromosome combinations, which fertilizes an ovum cell that also has approximately 8 million chromosome combinations, thereby producing a tremendous genetic variation in offspring (around 64 trillion possible zygote combinations).

How did Mendel's<br> experiments provide evidence for the principle of<br> independent assortment?
Mrac [35]

Answer and Explanation

Mendel selected a group of dwarf plants and sel pollinated them by dusting mature pollen grains onto them. He then collected the resulting seeds and planted them and noticed these seeds germinated and grew into dwarf plants only.

He also selected tall plants and self-pollinated them. the resulting seeds he observed that they grew into a micture of tall and dwarf plants. He took the seeds of tall plants only and repeated the experiments for many generations until he obtained only tall plants.

He then crossed cross-pollinated purebreeds tall garden pea with pure breed variety. He planted the seeds and observed the offsprings were all tall plants. He crossed two of these tall offsprinf from the F1 and planted the resulting seeds. the second filial generation consisted of a mixture of tall and dwarf plants.

He counted these plants and noted that the ratio of tall to dwarf was about 3:1. From this, he postulated that there are now laws governing inheritance.The law of independent assortment and law of segregation.

How many hydrogen bonds exist between this DNA strand and its complimentary strand? TCCAAG
podryga [215]
Hydrogen bonds exists between the DNA strand and its complementary strand such that; there are two hydrogen bonds between every A and T, and three between every C and G.
 Therefore; in this case there will be (2 ×3 ) +(3×3) = 15 hydrogen bonds for the above strand. this is because Adenine binds to Thyamine with two bonds (3 pairs) and Guanine binds to Cytosine with three bonds (3 pairs).

In photosynthesis what form of energy is sunlight converted two major reactions that take place
Arte-miy333 [17]
<span>Sunlight emits light energy which is absorbed by the thylacoids in the chloroplasts of a plant. Chloroplasts are organelles in a plant cell whose funtion is photosynthesis (the use of light to make energy). Thylacoids are a part of the chloroplast which absorbs light. The thylaciods convert the light into energy molecules NADPH and ATD. The Calvin cycle then takes place in the stroma (gellatinous matrix of the chloroplast). The Calvin cycle is the use of ATP and NADPH plus carbondioxide to produce starch. Starch is the polysaccharide sugar formed from glucose synthesized in a linear chain. The starch is the storage of the glucose which is used as an energy source for the plant cells. </span>
