Biology
1 answer:
maksim [4K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Metamorphic rocks are harder and denser than their parent rocks because they started off the same as their parent rocks but at some point were met with extreme heat and pressure. These conditions melted and compressed the parent rocks so much that it created metamorphic rock that was extremely hard and dense. This is why metamorphic rocks are usually found deep under the Earth's surface.

The process of ____________ increases genetic variability as it produces gametes for sexual reproduction.
otez555 [7]
The phrase to fit into the blank is "sexual reproduction"!
In sexual reproduction each of the parents produces a gamete and contributes to half of the  offspring's genes. This means that the offspring is a unique composition of the two parents.

In contrast, in a asexual reproduction, the offspring would likely have the same genetic code as the parent.
