Answer:
There is an accumulation of genetic mutations in the DNA of sperms due to its constant mitosis.
Explanation:
The germinative cells that will become sperms are under constant mitosis. During this process, DNA mutations can happen and be transmitted from one generation of cells to the other as the years go by, and more cell divisions take place, more mutations the DNA in the sperm will have. When the number of mutations reaches a certain level, his child will express these mutations and have autism.
The egg of the mother is not a factor because the germinative cells in women are not under constant mitosis, so there is not an accumulation of gene mutations. Women are born with an exact number of eggs for all their life.
Answer:
c. Directional selection
Explanation:
There are three types of selection: stabilizing, directional and disruptive. Currently seed cracker finches show disruptive selection with respect to bills. In disruptive selection two extreme phenotypes are preferred in population over the mean phenotype. Here either, small or large bills are beneficial for birds so it is an example of disruptive selection.
If due to some climatic change all seeds would become hard, it would be more beneficial for birds to have large bills. Slowly nature will select for birds with large bills rather than birds with small bills. The selection now will shift to directional selection since only one of the extreme phenotypes is being favoured.
The villus transports glucose and amino acids away from the small intestines in the blood this is because of the network of capillaries the villus has
Answer:
Genetic variation is increased by meiosis
Explanation:
Because of recombination and independent assortment in meiosis, each gamete contains a different set of DNA. This produces a unique combination of genes in the resulting zygote. Recombination or crossing over occurs during prophase I.
