Where do sexually reproducing organisms inherit their alleles from?
From their parents.
How do sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes from diploid progenitors?
Through Meiosis
How can genetic variation be introduced to sexually reproducing organisms?
In organisms that reproduce sexually, each offspring gets half its chromosomes from its mother and half from its father. Therefore, except in the case of monozygous twins, the chances of chromosomally identical siblings are very low.
What would be produced by meiosis?
Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms. It produces haploid cells, which are also known as gametes.
Does meiosis occur in all growing organisms?
No, meiosis does not occur in all growing organisms. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms to produce gametes (eggs and sperm). Organisms that reproduce asexually, such as bacteria and some plants, do not undergo meiosis.
If meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms?
If meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms, the chromosome number would double in each generation. Sexual reproduction results in new combinations of genetic traits.
Where do sexually reproducing organisms inherit their alleles from?
From their parents.
In sexually reproducing organisms, genes are transferred via _______________?
The gametes.
What causes variation in human beings?
the variations in genes, genes of sexually reproducing organisms will vary due to crossing-over of genes, mutations, and adaptations. In asexually reproducing organisms genes will vary through adaptations and mutations.
What will happen if cell do not undergo meiosis in sexually reproducing organisms?
There will be no reproduction
What are sources of genetic variation in sexually - reproducing organisms?
meiosisHuman recombination
What is the cause of variation in the offspring of sexually reproducing organisms?
recombination of alleles
How do gametes return to the diploid number of chromosomes for sexually reproducing organisms?
They merge.
How do sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes from diploid progenitors?
Through Meiosis
What are three ways that embryo's are protected in sexually reproducing organisms?
Immunism Deliteration Genuination
Is it true that sexually reproducing organisms contribute 100 percent of their genes to their offspring?
yes
Variation in the offspring of sexually reproducing organisms is the direct result of?
b) sorting and recombining of genes
