What are two main sources for genetic variation in a population?
Mutation and the genetic recombination in sexually reproducing organisms.
What is the difference between asexually and sexually?
An asexual creature reproduces by having a gradual growing a copy of itself on its body, and thus can reproduce on its own. If a creature reproduces sexually, there need to be two of them- a male and a female.
What is an example of an organism that reproduces sexually and explain the diversity of their offspring?
People. And people being (acting like) people.
Sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species in their ability to?
adapt
The great variety of possible gene combinations in a sexually reproducing species is due in part to the?
Recombination, or crossing over, is the process by which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material during meiosis. This creates gametes with many different combinations of alleles, and is a major source of genetic variation in sexually reproducing species.
What is the primary cause of variation in offspring of sexually reproducing organism?
recombination of alleles
What is the cause of variation in the offspring of sexually reproducing organisms?
recombination of alleles
Variation in the offspring of sexually reproducing organisms is the direct result of?
b) sorting and recombining of genes
The offspring of a sexually-reproducing organism receives?
half of its genetic material from each parent.
What are the offspring of sexual reproduction related to their parent?
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.
What will the offspring of an organism that reproduces sexually be like?
They will show variation, that is they will not be all exactly alike.
What does the offspring of a sexually reproducing organism receives?
One half of each parent's chromosomes, and genetic variation, as opposed to those that reproduce asexually - the cells just split, so each generation afterward is genetically identical to the parent.
What are sources of genetic variation in sexually - reproducing organisms?
meiosisHuman recombination
What will the genetic material of a organism do when it produces sexually?
The genetic material of a sexually reproducing organism evolves for better adaptations.
Is it true that sexually reproducing organisms contribute 100 percent of their genes to their offspring?
yes
In the organism reproducing sexually what is the number of chromosomes in the nucleus of the somatic cell?
google it.
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.
