ANSWER: The completion of the Human Genome Project

EXPLANATION:

Human Genome Project (HGP) was completed in April, 2003. Genome varies from one individual to another.

The project involved mapping and sequencing of some people and in other to get each chromosome full sequence in individuals.

However, at the beginning of this project, concerns like ownership and privacy of personal genetic information began to spring up. People are afraid that employers may have access to their genetic information and would reject persons with health issues indicated by their unique genes and health insurance companies may also not provide insurance to people that have deficiency.

In the view of this concern, the United States in 1996 passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which guides against the non-consensual and unauthorized release of health information of individuals.

Some organisms undergo asexual reproduction through mitosis, while others reproduce sexually, and their cells undergo meiosis to
Sav [38]
The answer is <span>A. Meiosis: It increases genetic variation, which helps ensure the species will survive.

Meiosis increases genetic variation. This means there is a great variety of genotypes among the population. Hence, there are organisms able to survive in a wider range of temperature. If </span><span>there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem, some of the organisms will survive because their genotype allows them to live in such conditions. If there were no variety thanks to meiosis, all of the organisms would die. And that is not beneficial to a species.
Imagine on the other hand that mitosis occurred. Mitosis does not provide a variety of genotypes and all of the organism will be the same. </span><span>If there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem, all of the organisms would die because all of them could respond to the change in the same way.</span>
