Answer:

Due to the law of independent assortment

Explanation:

In diploid species like humans, all somatic (body) cells have two complete sets of chromosomes, one chromosome inherited from the maternal gamete and one chromosome inherited from the paternal gamete. Each one of the homologous chromosomes contains one copy of each gene, or allele, such that one allele is inherited from each parent. According to the law of independent assortment, maternal and paternal chromosomes are independently assorted during meiosis, which means that different genes localized on different chromosomes are randomly distributed into gametes. In consequence, alleles of different genes are transmitted from parents to offspring independently of one another.

Describe how the gamete cells are different from a parent cell.​
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. ... During meiosis, a diploid parent cell, which has two copies of each chromosome, undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear division to produce four haploid cells.

Prescribe how mountains change in abiotic conditions with an increase in elevations
olga55 [171]
The first famous natural scientist to determine how plants change with altitude on tall mountains was Alexander Von Humboldt and Aime Bonpland when climbing some very high volcanoes in South America like Chimborazo at well ove 20,000 feet high and they observed that different plants grow at different altitudes as altitude increases so that as the mountain was ascended the new environments of temperature, moisture,etc would become abiotic for the lower plants but acceptable for the higher elevation plants. In these cases in South America, the lower elevations had very warm temperatures and high humidity so would grow tropical plants with probably large leaves like palm trees etc. On the other hand at high elevations the temperature would be significantly decreased and probably humidity decreased too so only rugged plants like say lichens could grow. At intermediate elevations, most likely say pine trees could grow as I know they do at moderate elevations in Honduras for example.

What type of evidence would you look for in a natural setting to indicate that there is competition taking placle among the plan
alexdok [17]

In a study, competition among plants are normal. Hence, all plants required a few basic elements like the light, water, nitrogen, or phosphorus, depending upon the species and the location. Evidence that can conclude that competition do really happen in plants is that some plants release toxins into the soil, in their dropped leaves which wipe out the competition for soil nutrients (such as weeds). And when it come an area with many trees in close proximity such as a forest, height is also indicative of competition for light.
