Answer:
Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.
Gametic chromosomes have a different combination of alleles than parental chromosomes as a result of independent assortment
Explanation:
Meiosis and Mitosis are two types of cell division that occurs in living organisms. However, Mitosis produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell. This accounts for the reason meiosis leads to genetic variation.
The production of genetically different cells by meiosis is as a result of the process of the random orientation of chromosomes during metaphase I of meiosis I. This process is called INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT. However, crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
Answer:
D. Population genetics
Population genetics is the study of genetic variation within populations, and involves the examination and modelling of changes in the frequencies of genes and alleles in populations over space and time. ... In natural populations, however, the genetic composition of a population's gene pool may change over time.
Explanation:
microevolution - evolutionary change within a species or small group of organisms, especially over a short period. (Not studying the overall evolution in the population, just a single allele usually) Not it then
macroevolution - Macroevolution in the modern sense is evolution that is guided by selection among interspecific variation, as opposed to selection among intraspecific variation in microevolution (this goes over huge groups of different species) Not it then
gene pool - The gene pool is the set of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species. (Not the study of evolution in a population) Not that then
So it has to be D
Scientists classify rocks based on texture, composition, and how the rocks formed.] Rocks are classified by how they formed.
