Q: In eukaryotes, the major mechanism for shuffling genes is what?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Sexual reproduction In eukaryotes, the major mechanism for shuffling genes is sexual reproduction. Because sex (usually) requires that organisms cooperate sex represents an example of social evolution. So what are the benefits of sexual reproduction? 342 Sexual reproduction involves the alternation of diploid (two copies of each chromosome) and haploid (one copy of each chromosome) cell types. In a diploid cell, the two copies of a particular gene can be different, the the organisms is said to be heterozygous for that gene. Different alleles can (but do not necessarily do) encode functionally distinct gene products and can be associated with different phenotypes (discussed in greater detail in the future two-semester version). We can then characterize different alleles with respect to one one another. Assume that allele-1 is associated with phenotype-1 342.

 Choices:

- suggesting reproduction
