How does random fertilization add to the genetic variation?

Biology
1 answer:
Taya2010 [7]3 years ago
6 0
Genetic variation is also introduced by random fertilization of the gametes produced by meiosis. Any of the genetically unique sperm generated by a male may fertilize the genetically unique egg produced by a female. During metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes are aligned along the metaphase plate.
So I think that would be B) sorry if I’m wrong

Which class of molecules functions as chemical signals?
omeli [17]
A hormone is a molecule that functions as a chemical signal. A hormone is a chemical released by a cell or a gland in one part of the body that sends out messages that affect cells in other parts of the organism. Endocrine hormone molecules are secreted (released) directly into the bloodstream. !

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.

jeka57 [31]
<span>The correct answer is A. atoms. Atoms are studied by physics and chemistry, not by ecology. Ecology studies organisms, populations, and the earth in terms of climate, pollution prevention, natural habitats and biomes, and all kinds of similar things that are related to living on earth. Atoms are irrelevant for the study of ecology.</span>

At what phase of meiosis is the number of chromosomes per cell doubled? What happens after that so that the number of chromosome
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

During the S phase at interphase in meiosis I

Explanation:

During the S (DNA synthesis) phase at interphase in meiosis I, DNA replication occurs here where the chromosomes are doubled. This phase does not occur in meiosis II. At the end of meiosis II, the chromosome number becomes halved in the sex cells. The cell just goes on to divide to ensure haploidy of chromosomes in the gametes such that the sperm from the male and egg from female are both haploid. Fertilization brings about diploidy of the zygote itself
