Answer:

Combined parenting leads to faster reproduction

Explanation:

Genetic diversity or variations in the physical appearance of organisms is caused by genetic or environmental factors. Reproduction brings about variation through gamete formation, fertilization and mutations.

During prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair to form bivalents. The crossing over at the chiasmata results in new gene combination and variations.

Fertilization permits parental genes to be brought together. This causes variations in members of the same family.

Mutation is the spontaneous change in genetic make-up. These changes may be inherited by offspring bringing variations. However, combining parenting does not increase genetic diversity.

Answer: A codon is found on the coding strand of double-stranded DNA and in the (single-stranded) mRNA. ... The anticodon is found on the tRNA and is the part that base-pairs with the codon (on the mRNA) in order to bring the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome to be added to the growing peptide chain.
