What is relationship between gametes and genetic variation?
CrossoverRandom AssortmentRandom Mutation
What event in meiosis leads to genetic variation in organisms?
Genetic crossover occurs, which causes a sharing and transference of genetic information between maternal and paternal copies of chromosomes and further enhances the genetic variability of their offspring.
Is it true that meiosis and the joining of gametes generate genetic variation in offspring?
true
When an offspring has a new genetic variation that it got from neither of its parents it is called a?
mutation
What do you think will be the impact of this mutation?
The chimpanzee's offspring will have abnormal eyes. -apex(:

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 .
What does meiosis introduce into the daughter cells that Mitosis does not?
variationvarietyMeiosis introduces genetic variation. Mitosis produces daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. However, meiosis produces offspring with half the genetic material from each parent - and therefore much more diversity.

Meiosis and fertilization are important processes because they may most immediately result in?
genetic variation
The theory of genetic inheritance?
The two parents mate and their offspring *usually inherit the more dominant genetic trait. *I say usually because there are rare occurrences in which the offspring has a variation
How can genetic material variation help some offspring survive?
Because on very, very rare occasions the variation may be helpful
Why does meiosis exist?
Meiosis exists to ensure genetic variation between offspring. As long as the genes are being passed on, interchanged, and reselected, a species will remain adaptable.
Asexual reproduction increases genetic variation-the raw material on which natural selection operates?
Asexual reproduction decreases genetic variation which is the raw material on which natural selection operates. This is because asexual reproduction produces identical offspring to the parent.
