Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.
Answer: DESERT
Explanation:
Adaptation can be defined as the modification in the form, structure, function and behaviour of organisms in a habitat which enables them to live successfully and reproduce.
Desert is one of the types of the world biomes that is characterized with little or no rain and to extreme temperatures. Organisms, which includes plants and animals, must show some level of adaptation to able to survive the harsh environment.
The type of PLANTS which can survive in desert environment are called the XEROPHYTES. They show the following adaptations:
--> The roots are well developed: they grow down to great depths and branch extensively in order to absorb water
--> they possess swollen stems which contains water storage cells.
--> they have reduced leaves, for example in cacti in the form of spines, which helps to reduce water loss through transpiration.
The type of animal that survive in desert environment spend the hot dry seasons in a sleep-like torpid state called aestivation. This is so in order to avoid the heat. Their body size is usually small and less bulky: greater surface area in relation to body volume, thus enhancing heat loss from the body.
Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
Answer:
Yes, the species of a lizard can be identified using dichotomous keys.
Explanation:
A dichotomous key is an identification tool used by the biologists especially taxonomists to identify and classify the organisms.
The dichotomous keys are based on the characteristic feature of an organism for which two which contains two contrasting feature. The dichotomous keys are the most common tools used to classify an organism.
A species of lizard can be identified using these keys by selecting the key characteristic feature shown by the species which could be quantitative like weight, height or it could be qualitative like colour. By comparing these characteristics, it becomes easy to identify the species.
