The diagram below represents a process involved in reproduction in some organisms. This process is considered a mechanism of evolution because- A.

Meiosis prevents recombination of lethal mutations
- 4.A mutation that can be inherited by offspring would result from
- A.
Random breakage of chromosomes in the nucleus of liver cells
- B.
A base substitution in gametes during meiosis
- C.
Abnormal lung cells produced by toxins in smoke
- D.
Ultraviolet radiation damage to skin cells
- 5.The sorting and recombining of genes during meiosis and fertilization usually leads to the production of
- A.
Gametes with many copies of the same chromosome
- B.
Embryos with traits identical to those of all other members of the species
- C.
Zygotes with the genetic information to produce only females
- D.
Offspring with some traits that did not appear in their parents
- 6.

The diagram below shows a process that can occur during meiosis. The most likely result of this process is- A.
A new combination of inheritable traits that can appear in the offspring
- B.
An inability to pass either of these chromosomes on to offspring
- C.
A loss of genetic information that will produce a genetic disorder in the offspring
- D.
An increase in the chromosome number of the organism in which this process occurs
- 9.During meiosis, crossing-over (gene exchange between chromosomes) may occur. Crossing- over usually results in
- A.
Overproduction of gametes
