What major advantage is there to Sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction produces individuals with genes from two parents. This increase in combinations of genes which can be useful when changes in the environment occur requiring new adaptations. In short Sexual reproduction helps in evolution whereas asexual does not
Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually which genes would most likely be passed on?
Both the original and the new genes
The ability to introduce new genes into an organism?
engineering
When chromosomes replicate they produce?
when the chromosomes are replicated the cells were about to divide into 2 cells (mitosis)
Why meiosis is not the type of cell division that produces new skin cells?
Meiosis could not be a type of cell division that produces new skin cells because meiosis is a cell division necessary for sexual reproduction only.
Is the source of brand new genes in a population called mutation?
Yes, brand new genes can only come from mutation.
Are mutations the only way to add new genes to a gene pool?
yes. independent assortment and crossing over in mitosis will add new combinations of alleles to the DNA but only mutations will create new genes.
Is true or false if a species only used mitosis to reproduce its offspring would be exactly the same because their genetics would be identical.?
This is true. Mitosis produces new cells with exactly the same genes as the parent cell.
What is used to insert new genes into plant cells?
Several factors play into introducing new genes into a cell. Plasmids act as a vector to introduce new genes into a cell.
Why do living things age?
The genes in our body have a limit to their 'reproduction' rate. the DNA that produces our proteins that create new cells start slowing down their creation rate and thus we get older.
Could future humans ever truly be immune to any virus or will there always be new sickness that because of mutation?
There will always be "new" forms of infectious organisms. They are just trying to survive too, and pass on their genes to future generations as does all life.
How were flu pandemics created?
antigenic shift. That shift produces a new subtype that is different from the two parent viruses. When the new subtype contains genes from the human virus,a pandemic resulted because there was no immunity to the virus and no vaccine to protect against it.
How does different genes happen?
New genes appear in individuals by random mutation.
Are the genes of literature?
Genes is a Chemistry The Divide Each To Make New Baby ..
How does genetic material of the new cell compare tp that of the original cell?
amino acids Meiosis during the formation of male and female gametes results into crossing over. Hence in a new organism, half of the genetic material corresponds to the two parents and the other half is a new combination of genes derived from these parents.

What is the function of the tissue in a plant?
Meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells in mitosis.
