There are three sources of genetic factors in sexual reproduction events : Crossing over during meiosis 1 Independent assortment during meiosis Random fertilisation
(c)
Base from the statement above , explain the three sources of genetic factors during sexual reproduction Answer . No. 1(a) Answer -Diagram 15.4 is (height ) continuous variation -Because the differences between individuals are slight and can be changed . -Diagram 15.5 is ( type of fingerprints ) Discontinuous variation -Because the differences between individuals are obvious and cannot be changed (b)(i) Continuous variation Discontinuous variation 1m 1m Mark 1m 1m [10 marks]

Crossing over during meiosis -During prophase I of meiosis, two homologous chromosomes are paired up in a bivalent. -The non-sister chromatids break at the chiasma. -Segment of the chromatids exchange places . -The exchange of genetic materials between the chromatids results in new , different genetic combination of genes from the parents. -The new genetic combination result in variation . Independent assortment during meiosis -During metaphase I of meiosis , homologous chromosomes arrange themselves randomly at the equator. -The random arrangement and separation of each homologous pair is independent of one another. -Independent assortment produces various genetic combinations in the gametes . Random fertalisation -Each gametes has a unique set or combination of genes . -A male gamete can fertilise any of the female gametes, . -so, the fertalisation between a male gamete and a female gamete occurs randomly. -As a result , a zygote is formed with variety of gene combination. -With random fertilasation , variations occur in the offspring. 1m ( Max: 10 marks ) 1m 1m 1m 1m 1m 1m 1m 1m 1m 1m 1m 1m
