<span>independent assortment of genes occurs during meiosis in eukaryotes. Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a parent cell by half to produce four reproductive cells called gametes. In humans, diploid cells contain 46 chromosomes, with 23 chromosomes inherited from the mother and a second similar set of 23 chromosomes inherited from the father. Pairs of similar chromosomes are called homologous chromosomes. During meiosis, the pairs of homologous chromosome are divided in half to form haploid cells, and this separation, or assortment, of homologous chromosomes is random. This means that all of the maternal chromosomes will not be separated into one cell, while the all paternal chromosomes are separated into another. Instead, after meiosis occurs, each haploid cell contains a mixture of genes from the organism's mother and father.</span>
Dinoflagellates are a type of algae that live in a symbiotic relationship with the coral. The algae are autotrophic, meaning they can convert the energy of the sun into chemical energy that organisms can use. The algae share some of the nutrients they produce with the coral in exchange for coral's protection.
if the algae die off, the coral loses an important source of nutrients and dies too.
A functional adaptation is any adaptation that helps an organism survive.
Hence, the correct answer is option D - the color and shape of a flounder allow it to camouflage.
This adaptation allows animals to camouflage with colors, patterns, and body shapes. Both predators and preys can process camouflage.
Most likely either 105 ft or 80 ft. If I had to choose between those two I would probably choose 80 ft however.
