What are the two key features of meiosis that contribute to genetic variations?
Meiosis helps in the transfer of data between the cells. It will help to determine which information goes on to the next generation.
What causes genetic variations in humans?
meiosis... for example.. crossing over
Which statement best explains the significance of meiosis in the process of evolution within species?
Meiosis takes place in sexual reproduction and genetic variations takes place in sexual reproduction. Genetic variations lead to evolution to new species.
Why do prokaryotes and eukaryotes differ in there reliance on mutations for generating genetic variations?
Eukaryotes sexually reproduce, prokaryotes do not.
How meiosis help in cell division?
Meiosis produces the sperm and egg cells needed for reproduction. Only cells in the ovaries or testes undergo meiosis.
PLEASE Help MeThe process of fission is a type of what Feterlization Sexual Reproduction Asexual reproduction or Meiosis?
Meiosis
Why is generating important for some organisms?
it can help you from dead early
How can you tell which type of sexual life cycle an organism undergoes?
The type of sexual life cycle that a eukaryotic organism has depends on the type of cell that undergoes meiosis and on when meiosis occurs.
How does a mitochondria help our body?
They conduct the respiration. It is energy generating process
How do the chromosomes get to the stage of meiosis prophase?
A nucleus is signals the rest of the cell that the cell is ready to undergo meiosis, in which case the chromosomes begin to condense with the help of histones, which is the beginning of prophase I of meiosis.
How does meiosis help genetic?
Meiosis is the division of the sex cells (sperm and egg). Meiosis produces gametes with one half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. A female gamete and male gamete will then undergo fertilization and create a zygote. (not limited to just humans, meiosis occurs in sexually reproducing organisms).
What are the two distinct stages of meiosis?
Meiosis I and meiosis II
