Answer:

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1), the random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1), and random fertilization are the mechanisms involved in genetic variation.

Explanation:

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1), the random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1), and random fertilization are the mechanisms involved in genetic variation.

The Crossing-over events occur between two homologous chromosomes in the equatorial plane and make the daughter cells genetically different from the original one. The Chiasma is the position where two homologous chromatids interchange genetic information, giving a place for new genetic material or information to be provided to descendants. After crossing over, homologous chromosomes get separated again.  

On the equatorial plane, homologous paired together, randomly aline with their kinetochores facing opposite poles. The random arrangement of tetrads is different in every cell going through the meiosis process. There is no equal alinement between two cells. When tetrads aline in the equatorial plane, there is no predetermined order for each of the homologous chromosomes of each tetrad to face one of the poles and then migrate to it while separating.  Chromosomes of the homologous pair arrange to face any of the poles to migrate forward to it. Each of the chromosomes has two possibilities for orientation at the plane. When the new haploid cells are formed, the number of variations in each cell is also different and depends on the chromosomes that form that cell. The order in the equatorial plane is what introduces variation into the gametes, being almost impossible for two gametes to have the same genetic charge.  

Independent assortment occurs when the alleles from two or more different genes distribute in gametes independently from each other. In other words, a gamete receives an allele from a gene that does not depend on nor influence the allele of another gene in the same gamete. This can only be applied to independent genes. An organism gets only one of the members of the chromatids pair of each parent.

Living things use many strategies for producing offspring, but most strategies fall neatly into the categories of either sexual
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

In asexual reproduction method, the offspring generated is identical genetically to the parents. But this is not the case in sexual reproduction. The reason being that the gametes or sex cells produced has only one set of chromosomes and are therefore haploid after the process of meiosis. Meiosis is the process when the offspring formed has chromosomes from two parents and is not identical to the parent. Only certain characteristics are inherited by the offspring from both the parents and offspring has different set of characteristics.  

There is a process of assortment taking place inside the cell when the double set of chromosomes becomes one set in a gamete. Out of the pair of chromosomes, there is a random selection. Due to this random assortment, there is a genetic variation between the gametes as the gene alleles on the chromosome are not the same. This principle is said to be the Mendel’s first law of segregation.  

Another process of combining chromosomes is the crossing over during the meiosis stage which results in variety of chromosomes. We can say that recombination is possible.  

Hence, we can note that during assortment and crossing over, there is no chance for two offspring to be identical to the same mother or father with the exception of identical twins. In the case of identical twins, the genetically identical characteristics develops from same fertilized egg.  

From the above process, the structure of gene gets changed creating a variant that can get transmitted to next generation. The change is caused by altering the single base units of DNA or rearranging larger section of genes.
