Write down a mechanism for increasing genetic variation in BOTH eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Biology
1 answer:
Ilya [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Genetic variation mechanisms are different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, Transformation, transduction, and conjugation in prokaryotes whereas crossing over, random assortment, and random fertilization in eukaryotes.

Prokaryotes:

Prokaryotic cells can lead to genetic variation by recombining their genetic material. In prokaryotes, horizontal gene transfer (HGT), in which gene transfer from one organism to another in the same generation. The three most common ways of HGT are transformation, conjugation, and transduction.

Eukaryotes:

Eukaryotic organisms can perform either sexual and asexual or both reproduction in which they are able to transfer genetic material (DNA) to their offsprings. Such transfer of genetic material process is called vertical gene transfer. In sexually reproducing organisms, independent assortment during zygote formation, a mutation in genes, and crossing over during prophase 1 in meiosis is the process that increases the chances of genetic variation.

American vultures used to be classified in the same family as African vultures. Which discovery caused scientists to reclassify
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

DNA evidence revealed the American vultures share more recent ancestor with the Storks

Explanation:

The hooded vultures that is mostly found in the African continent have a close resemblance with the American vultures and were traditionally classified to belong to the Falcon family.

However, it was observed that the American vultures shared a similar behavior with Stork which is not common to the vulture found in Africa, including the hooded vulture. The Stork and the American vulture exhibit the behavior of urinating on their legs when being overheated. When the urine gets evaporated, it helps them to cool their body temperature.

This shared behavior between the storks and the American vultures led scientists into using molecular analysis in analyzing the DNA of the hooded vultures found in Africa, the American vultures, and the stork.

Evidence from the DNA analysis later revealed that the American vultures and the storks share a more common DNA sequences than African vultures and American vultures do.
