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.

How can a gene map be used? Why do scientists induce mutations in organisms?

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Genome mapping is used to identify and record the location of genes and the distances between genes on a chromosome. Genome mapping provided a critical starting point for the Human Genome Project. Sequenced DNA fragments can be aligned to the genome map to aid with the assembly of the genome.

By inducing mutations, scientists have been able to increase genetic variation, which breeders depend on to produce crops with desirable traits, such as resistance to diseases and insects. ... Mutations can be induced in a variety of ways, such as by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation or chemical mutagens.

it is only found in the plant cells that support the plant which is also made of specialized sugar called cellulose

MAXImum [283]

The cell wall contains not only cellulose and protein, but other polysaccharides as well. The cell wall provides structural support and protection. Pores in the cell wall allow water and nutrients to move into and out of the cell. The cell wall also prevents the plant cell from bursting when water enters the cell.
