The two ways that genetic variations may occur are:

  1. Mutations in DNA

2. Rearrangement of genes during meiosis

I know of two ways. Maybe there are more, but first the egg is fertilized and then it splits, and second, two different eggs are fertiglized.

If one event can occur in "m" ways and a second can occur independently of the first in "n" ways, then the two events can occur in "mn" ways.

What is sequential mutation?

It's a double mutation that occurs on a colony of cells (bacteria for example) that claims to have resistance to two different antibiotics or viruses. This double mutation, however, strictly happens by first developing a mutation for the first antibiotic/virus and then has an independent mutation (nothing to do with the first mutation) for the other or second antibiotic/virus.

Why are male mutation rates higher than female?

This is because mutations occur in x chromosomes. The male, who has "xy" sex chromosomes, will have the mutation if it is present in the x chromosome. Females, there is a smaller chance because there are two "xx" chromosomes, which reduces the chance that the mutation will be present.


What does two daughter cells with different DNA represent?

Two daughter cells with different DNA may represent a mutation or an error during cell division. This can lead to genetic variation and potentially cause abnormalities or changes in the characteristics of the cells.


Define counting principle?

If one event can occur in m ways, and for each of these a second event can occur in n ways, then the number of ways that the two evens can occur together is m x n. Can be extended to three or more events.


What is one or two nucleotides that are changed in a certain mutation?

In a point mutation, a change in a single nucleotide can lead to a specific mutation. For example, a substitution mutation occurs when one nucleotide is swapped for another, such as A to T or C to G. This change can result in different amino acids being coded for in the protein sequence.


Do these two different individuals share any bands of the same length, and why might this be the case?

Yes, the two individuals share bands of the same length because they have similar genetic profiles. This can occur due to a common ancestor or genetic mutation that resulted in the same banding pattern.


Why do different mutations accumulate in two species once they diverge?

Because they can no longer mate and swap the mutation
