Genetic diversity is ultimately/mainly the result of _______________

Biology
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A. meiosis.

Explanation:

Meiosis is one of the two major types of cell divisions in living organisms. Meiosis is the process by which four daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell are produced. Meiotic process is carried out solely during sexual reproduction to yield gametes or sex cells.

The gametes have their chromosomal number reduced by half during the process. However, one immense importance of meiosis is that it PROMOTES GENETIC DIVERSITY. A process called crossing over, which is the exchange of chromosomal segment between non sister chromatids, makes this possible.

What are Mendel's Laws?
Nady [450]

1. Law of Segregation: When gametes form, alleles are separated so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene

2. Law of Independent Assortment: The segregation of alleles for one gene occurs independently to that of any other gene

3. Principle of Dominance: Recessive alleles will be masked by dominant alleles†

How did the articles of confederation compare to the constitution in regard to sovereignty?
natita [175]

States enjoyed greater autonomy under the Articles, whereas the Constitution granted some powers to the states.

<h3>What is articles of confederation?</h3>
  • The 13 founding states of the United States of America came to an agreement known as the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, which functioned as the country's first system of governance.
  • On November 15, 1777, the Second Continental Congress approved it following lengthy discussion and forwarded it to the states for ratification.
  • In the Articles of Confederation, which served as the nation's first constitution, the confederacy of the former 13 colonies was referred to as "The United States of America."
  • The 13 articles that made up the Articles of Confederation granted authority to a federal government headed by Congress.
  • Following the United States' declaration of independence from Great Britain, the national government's functions were codified in the Articles of Confederation.
  • The Continental Congress approved the Articles of Confederation on November 15, 1777.
  • This text functioned as the first constitution of the United States.
  • It lasted from March 1, 1781, until the current Constitution took effect in 1789.

How does crossing over in meiosis result in genetic variation?
Aneli [31]

Cross over is the first  way genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Cross over takes place in sexual  reproduction.  The normal way that cross over occurs is chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other.

If they break the pieces at the same locus in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called  genetic recombination and it ensures that the daughter cells produced  have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity occurs.

Resource partitioning

Resource partitioning refers to differences in resource use between species regardless of the origin of the differences. Similar species can coexist in the same ecological community without one pushing the others to extinction through competition. Species compete for the same resources which include nutrients and habitats which are the raw materials needed by organisms to grow, live, and reproduce. For the question given above, the divergence in lizards is an example of resource partitioning.
