The last time you saw the sisters pictured above, you considered how different protein molecules in their cells could lead to di

fferent traits. Now, you know that genes provide instructions for proteins that lead to traits. How could these sisters have ended up with different genes, leading to their different proteins and traits? Explain your ideas below.​

Answer:

recombination and independent segregation of chromosomes during meiosis  

Explanation:

Recombination and independent segregation of chromosomes represent the two most important meiotic mechanisms by which sisters from the same parents can inherit different gene variants and therefore look very different from each other:  

1- Independent assortment (segregation) of chromosomes: during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed in daughter cells (which will give rise to the gametes), and therefore separate independently of each other. It is for that reason that gametes have unique combinations of chromosomes, which increases genetic variation.

2- Recombination, also known as crossing over, refers to the exchange of chromosome segments between non-sister chromatids during meiosis. This mechanism is well-known to produce new gene variants (alleles) in the daughter cells. In consequence, recombination also increases the genetic variation of the resulting gametes that will produce offspring (in this case, different sisters).

the graph predicts the effect that each factor would have on the biodiversity of the mediterranean sea in the next 10 years. how
bixtya [17]

Answer: Exploitation, invasive species

If the government introduces laws prohibiting hunting, it would somewhat reduce the impact of exploitation would have on the biodiversity because hunting is mainly done for the purpose of fun or to derive valuables from animals like skin, horn, ivory, venome for selling them in the international market and making huge profit from them. Introduction of prohibition law on hunting will reduce killing and exploitation of animals for their valuables.

If laws prohibiting introduction of new plant or animal species within the country are passed, it will curb the effect of invasive species would have on the seas. Invasive species are those living species which are arrive or immegrate to new locations in search of resources. These species compete with native species which results in decline of native species. This will result in disturbance in actual sea biodiversity as this will result in decline in native sea species and may also lead to extinction of native species.

Joel notices that there is not much difference between low and high tide. what is happening?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

This is the spring tide: the highest (and lowest) tide. Spring tides are not named for the season. This is spring in the sense of jump, burst forth, rise. So spring tides bring the most extreme high and low tides every month, and they always happen – every month – around full and new moon.
