All but one statement describes an advantage of meiosis.. a). variation is aided by crossing-over which occurs during meiosis.. b). meiosis ensures daughter cells receive one of each kind of gene and half the chromosome number.. c). independent assortment provides a huge number of possible genetic combinations in daughter cells.. d). meiosis occurs often because it allows growth and repair of body tissues in multicellular organisms.

What are the probable phenotypes of their offspring

In german cockroaches, curved wing (cv) is recessive to normal wing (cv+). bill, who is raising cockroaches in his dorm room, finds that the frequency of the gene for curved wings in his cockroach population is 0.6. in his friend joe’s apartment, the frequency of the gene for curved wings is 0.2. one day joe visits bill in his dorm room, and several cockroaches jump out of joe’s hair and join the population in bill’s room. bill estimates that, now, 10% of the cockroaches in his dorm room are individual roaches that jumped out of joe’s hair. what is the new frequency of curved wings among cockroaches in bill’s room? 0.69 0.4 0.5 0.31 0.20
