Segregation of alleles happens when the pair of alleles of each parent separate and only one allele passes from each parent on to an offspring. So if you had heterozygous tall plants and mated them (Tt x Tt), they would each separate into T and t, allowing each offspring to get either a T or a t from each parent. The possible genotypes would be TT, Tt and tt.
<span>The common difference between the three organisms
is the area in which they specifically live or stay in the ocean. Planktons can’t
be seen by the naked eye and they require microscopes to be detected. Planktons
usually float in the water and they cannot move on their own that’s why they
are dependent in the movement of the water.
Nektons are organisms that swim through the water and they live in different
depths in the ocean ecosystem. Nektons are composed of fish and other mammals
that propel themselves through the water.
Benthos are organisms that live in the ocean floor and many of these organisms
stay in one place by attaching themselves to rocks. This adaptation protects
them from crashing waves and drastic water movements. Other benthos are known
to burrow in the ocean floor either for food or protection.</span>
Answer:
Continuous variations are formed due to chance segregation of genes during gamete formation, crossing over and chance combination during fertilization. They can increase adaptability of the race but cannot form new species.
