Answer:

d) gene shuffling and mutations.

Explanation:

During meiosis-I, the exchange of genetic segments between the homologous chromosomes occurs. This is called crossing over. The recombinant chromatids formed during crossing over have new combinations of alleles that were otherwise not present in the parental chromatids. Similarly, the random assortment of alleles of different genes towards the opposite poles of the cell during anaphase-I also creates new gene combinations. These events of gene shuffling during meiosis recombine the genetic material and add genetic variations in the progeny.  

When genetic material undergoes any random change in its sequence, the corresponding mRNA sequence is also altered. This results in the formation of faulty, nonfunctional, less functional or no protein from the mutated mRNA. Therefore, the sudden changes in DNA called mutations also add variations.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

if the results are efficient in answering the problems raised in the research and if they manage to come to terms with the hypotheses.

Explanation:

As you may know, scientific research must be done through several steps that allow an experiment to be carried out in order to reach conclusions on a certain topic.

In research on the carbon cycle and global warming, it is necessary for the researcher to raise problems and questions about this topic, as well as to raise hypotheses that must be directly related to the results of the experiment. If the result of the experiment is efficient in answering the research problems and questions, in addition to being able to agree with the presented hypotheses, it means that the research has value within the scientific branch in which it fits, in addition to showing that the experiment was done correctly.
