Biology
1 answer:
max2010maxim [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. Metaphase 1

2. Independent assortment

3. Crossing over

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that reduces the chromosome number of the parent cell by half. It only occurs during sexual reproduction and ensures genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms.

Meiosis contributes to genetic variability when the chromosomes line up randomly at the cell plate during METAPHASE 1 of meiosis. This process of random alignment is called INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT of genes. Generally, meiosis is able to ensure genetic variability due to a process called CROSSING OVER. Crossing over is a process whereby nonsister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchanges/shuffles genetic contents.

Darwin hypothesized that new species could appear gradually through small changes in an ancestral species.what experiment did he
Elanso [62]
Answer;
He conducted an experiment with breeding pigeons. 

Explanation;
The pigeons provided the perfect animal to test his theory of selection for quite a number of reasons including its trait diversity from wing structures to color patterns to size to flight patterns. From these experiments he concluded that by natural selection of randomly occurring traits that make species better suited for survival and reproduction, evolve in the astounding diversity of organisms on Earth today.

Which of the following describes the lithosphere
Natalija [7]
<span>Lithosphere includes all the Earth known to us: the mountains, the ground we walk on, etc. It's solid - else we would not be able to walk on it! the more inner layers of Earth are liquid, but lithosphere, the outermost layer is solid. The tectonic plates are not floating on the lithosphere - they form the lithosphere! So the correct answer is A - it is solid and composed of crust and upper mantle (outer later)</span>

Why do classification systems change over time?
Elina [12.6K]

Changes to the classification system have meant that the classification of some species of organisms has changed too. The system had to be changed to incorporate this new group or organisms.
