In addition to mutations, genetic variation can also arise during the formation of gametes during meiosis. During meiosis I, hom

ologous chromosomes can randomly exchange segments, in a process called crossing-over. This trading changes the order of the genes in the DNA and on the chromosomes. Exchange material is integrated into the rest of the chromosomes DNA. Each chromosome loses some DNA and gains some DNA. As a result, there are more genotypes in the offspring. 2. What function does recombination by crossing-over have in genetic variation

Answer:

Crossing over ensures that organisms of the same parents have differences in genetic content making them unique in one way or the other.

Explanation:

This question is describing the process of crossing over, which occurs only during prophase I of meiosis. During the process of crossing over, alleles of a gene are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes (mother and father chromosomes).

Hence, a unique GAMETE that has been genetically recombined will be formed. When these gametes are fertilized (egg) or fertilizes (sperm), organisms that are genetically different from their parents are produced. This ensures genetic variation, which is a difference in the genetic content of organisms.

Describe how photosynthesis and cellular Respiration Power all the ecosystems on this planet
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration allow the carbon and oxygen that organisms consume and produce to be cycled through the ecosystem. They work together so that what is made from one process is used in the other. Without them the ecosystem would run out of carbon dioxide and oxygen, and everything would die.
