How does process of crossing over increase the diversity within a sexually reproducing species?
in crossing over the gens present on chromosomes forms linkage so the character are exchange & thus it lead to recombination of genes that affect genetic diversity
What else can I help you with?
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.
What does ac dc mean sexually?
Both straight and gay sexually. Bisexual.
Which phrase does not describe cells cloned from a carrot?
They are produced sexually.
Why can the number of bacteria increase rapidly in a short period of time?
Most of bacterias if not all are single celled organism, they can produce sexually or asexually (cloning). However most does tend to clone itself, this speeds up the reproductive cycle which allows them to multiply quickly.
What happens after meiosis to introduce even more genetic variation in sexually reproduced organisms?
fusion of gametes via fertilization
Why is its advantageous for a redwood to reproduce sexually when it could reproduce asexually instead?
It increases the genetic diversity of the tree's offspring.
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.
Are fungi capable of reproducing both asexually and sexually?
Yes, fungi are capable of reproducing both asexually and sexually.
Why does a sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species?
Sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species in their ability to use two different sex cells.
Does asexual reproduction incress or decress diversity?
Decreases diversity because asexual reproduction is almost a cloning process and the progenitor organism transmits 100% of it's genetic endowment to it's off spring while sexually reproducing organisms contribute 50% each in genetic material and, with independent assortment, crossing over a random fertilization, sexually reproducing organisms posses much more genetic diversity that asexual reproducers. In fact some biologists think that when more complex organisms go this route that they are headed for extinction. Less complex asexual reproducers have a high mutation rate and have mechanisms for exchanging genetic material laterally.
Sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species in there ability to?
Sexually-reproducing species are able to adapt more easily than asexual-reproduciing species
Recombination occurs during?
meiosis
What is the process of plants reproducing sexually?
they multiply
If meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms?
If meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms, the chromosome number would double in each generation. Sexual reproduction results in new combinations of genetic traits.
How does fungi reproduction occurs?
by reproducing asexuallly or sexually
What is an important factor in increasing variety among sexually reproducing organisms?
Genetic recombination during meiosis is a crucial factor in increasing genetic variation among sexually reproducing organisms. This process involves the shuffling and exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, leading to offspring with unique combinations of traits.
A condition of first being capable of reproducing sexually?
puberty
