Which genetic variation occures during fertilization when the egg and sperm meet?

Biology
1 answer:
Zina [86]3 years ago
3 0
Answer: crossing over

during the process of fertilization, a sperm and egg join together to create a zygote. since a sperm had half the number of chromosomes and an egg has half the number of chromosomes, when they join together the zygote had a complete diploid set of chromosomes. the assortment of chromosomes and crossing over promotes genetic variation during the process of reproduction

What information about recombination frequencies enables scientists to create linkage maps?
True [87]

The answer is;

  1. The recombination frequency is proportional to the distance between the two genes
  2. The lower the recombination frequency, the farther apart two genes are on the chromosome

Genes that are close together are more likely to be passed together to offspring during recombination. Geneticist compares the ration between the proposed phenotype offspring and actual phenotype offerings in a population. The higher the recombination frequency (centimorgans," or cM), the closer the genes are linked together, physically.

The advantage of excreting nitrogenous wastes as urea instead of ammonia is that:________ a) urea requires more water for excret
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Ammonia is so toxic that it can be transported and excreted only in large volumes of very dilute solution. As a result most terrestrial animals simply don't have access to sufficient water to routine excrete ammonia.

The main advantage of urea is its very low toxicity. Animals can transport urea in the circulatory system and store it safely in high concentrations. Also much less water is loss when a given quantity of nitrogen is excreted in a concentrated solution of urea than would be in a dilute solution of ammonia.

How many distinct trnas are needed to translate every codon in the genetic code?
White raven [17]
In the genetic code, codons made of of three bases specify an amino acid. With three bases, there are 64 possible permutations. With three codons corresponding to STOP codons, this leaves 61 combinations that code for an amino acid. This would require 61 distinct tRNA species were it not for the "wobble base"

Between Point A and Point C, where is the steepest part of the hike? How do you know?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Going down Burr Hill; the contour lines are close together.

Explanation:

Between Points A and C, the steepest part is going down Burr Hill.

I know that, because the contour lines are so close together.

That means your vertical descent is quite steep compared to the distance you cover horizontally.
