How does meiosis help genetic variation

Explanation:

Meiosis leads to the formation of gametes which have half the number of chromosomes in the somatic body cells. This means two gametes should fuse together for a new individual to form. The two gametes coming from two different parents carry features from two individuals, and this is the first source of variation.

The process of independent assortment happens during metaphase I where the chromosomes from both parents align on the equator of the cell in an independent way, meaning some from each parent on one side, and the opposite on the other. This means the gamete formed has a mixture of chromosomes from the parent's parents, and this is the second source of variation.

Finally there is the crossing over which happens also in metaphase I where genetic material between the homologous chromosomes is exchanged. This means not the whole parental chromosome goes to one cell, but rather a mixture of both the paternal and the maternal in this one chromosome go to one cell, and an opposite mixture goes to the other. And this is the third source of variation.

it is called the mitotic spindle

measuring physical properties lab reportinstructions: in the physical properties lab, you will test the physical properties of different building materials in order to pick the appropriate materials for a new home in tiny world. record your observations and test measurements in the lab report below. youwill submit your completed report.name and title: lyric lawton, mr.herbert, 10/13/17, physical properties lab. objective(s): i need to parvus build his house out of the right material, so he will stay cool in the mountains.hypothesis: if we use wood to build the roof of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.if we use clay brick to build the walls and floors of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.if we use aluminium to bring electricity into the home, then it will allow electricity to flow into the home at a faster rate.if we use iron to construct the latches on the windows and doors, then the magnetism will keep the latches secure.
