Explain the significance of meiosis to the survival of endangered species of lizards.
Answers
Answer:
It is of great importance, because it creates genetic diversity in the population. Meiosis is a process of gamete formation in which diploid germ-line cells, i.e., the cells that are set aside early in animal development for sexual reproduction, yield four genetically different haploid cells.
Explanation:
Variations in genetic material causes better survival adaptability of an organism against the extreme environmental or man-made conditions
Hence for the endangered species of lizards, Variations (caused by Meiosis) leads to survival of species
Answer:
Meiosis causes variations
Explanation:
During the Pachytene stage of Meiosis- I, exchange of genetic material between the non sister chromatids of two homologous chromosome occur. This is typically called crossing over.
Due to the crossing over, genes are exchanged that leads to Variations .
Variations in genetic material causes better survival adaptability of an organism against the extreme environmental or man-made conditions
Hence for the endangered species of lizards, Variations (caused by Meiosis) leads to survival of species
