What is relationship between gametes and genetic variation?
CrossoverRandom AssortmentRandom Mutation
In a sexual reproduction does all of the genetic information have to come from one parent?
No, in sexual reproduction genetic information comes from both parents. Each parent contributes half of their genetic material through the gametes (sperm and egg), which combine to form an offspring with a unique combination of genetic traits. This allows for genetic diversity and variation in offspring.
What sexual processes in fungi generate genetic variation?
karyogamy and meiosis
When an offspring has a new genetic variation that it got from neither of its parents it is called a?
mutation
What kind of cells will a change in the genetic code be passed on?
Mutations in the genetic code that can be passed on to offspring occur in the gametes; the sperm and egg cells.

How is genetic information from parents transferrd to their offspring?
Genetic information is transferred from parents to offspring via gametes . Gametes include sperms from male and egg from females . Gametes possess a full set of genes called genome . Gametes fuse to form zygote that form an offspring which is formed under genetic information .
How does meiosis introduce genetic variation into offspring?
1 by crossing over in prophase I , 2 by independent assoartment and 3 by mutations in s phase .1 by crossing over in prophase I , 2 by independent assoartment and 3 by mutations in s phase .Meiosis produces variation in gametes by crossing over & independent assortment also called reshuffling of genetic material . Such gametes after fertilization produce offspring with different characters .

How are genetic mutations passed from parent to offspring?
In the gametes.

karyogamy and meiosis
What does meiosis do for species?
Meosis creates gametes (reproductive cells) and allows genetic variation of the species
When an offspring has a new genetic variation that it got from neither of its parents it is called a?
mutation
Why are mitosis and mitosis similar?
Because they both result in the formantion of gametes; however there is no genetic variation in meiosis.
What kind of cells will a change in the genetic code be passed on?
Mutations in the genetic code that can be passed on to offspring occur in the gametes; the sperm and egg cells.
What do you think will be the impact of this mutation?
The chimpanzee's offspring will have abnormal eyes. -apex(:
How is the genetic material of a parent inherited by offspring in sexual reproduction?
The most common answer to this question is heredity.
