Genetic variation occurs when chromosomes are shuffled in and fertilization?
genetic variation occurs when chromosomes are shuffled in_and fertilization
What constantly provides new variation for natural selection to act upon in a sexually reproducing popularion?
Firstly, mutation. In a sexually reproducing population recombination ( independent orientation of chromosomes and crossing over in meiosis and random fertilization ) is also a source of variation in populations.
Is fertilization heredity genetic variation or both?
both
What the ways new genetic combinations are formed during meiosis?
Crossing-Over- Chromatids exchange genetic material.Independent Assortment- The random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis.Random Fertilization- Adds genetic variation. The zygote that forms is made by the random joining of two gametes. Because fertilization of an egg by a sperm is random, the number of possible outcomes is squared.

The calculation of offspring includes only variation resulting from?
crossing over, random fertilization, and an independent assortment of chromosomes
What provides the source of variation in evolution?
Mutation, such as insertion, deletion and rarely frameshift mutation. Sexual recombination, is sexually reproducing species. This includes, in meiosis, the independent assortment of chromosomes and crossing over. Then there is random fertilization to provide a last source of variation.

Does cossing over lead to genetic variation?
Crossing over: exchange of parts of DNA in a homologous chromosome in the area where they come in contact with each other. Then this chromosome splits, during meiosis, to form a daughter cell (gamete) with a haploid number of chromosomes. During fertilization, the two gametes fuse into one cell containing now a diploid number of chromosomes. This process leads to genetic diversity and variation.
What name is given to a suddden change in the chromosomes?
variation
Why is variation not possible in mitotic division of cells?
Mitosis does not lead to the formation of chromosomes with new combination. In meiosis as a result of crossing over, chromosomes with new combinations are formed which are responsible for variation.
Can you stop crossing over to cease any kind of evolution?
Not to stop evolution, but you would be impeding variation within populations of sexually reproducing species by stooping crossing over. Only to an extent, though. One would still have to account for independent orientation of chromosomes and random fertilization. Then you have the driver of great variation to contend with; mutation.
