Many organisms have powerful control genes that determine how the body is laid out. For example, Hox genes are found in many animals (including flies and humans) and designate where the head goes and which regions of the body grow appendages. Such master control genes help direct the building of body "units," such as segments, limbs, and eyes. So evolving a major change in basic body layout may not be so unlikely; it may simply require a change in a Hox gene and the favor of natural selection. Uhh i hope this help (:?

DNA and RNA both contain a cyclic nitrogenous base, a posphate group and a five-carbon sugar. These are the base units of nucleotides which make up nucleic acids. DNA contains the nitrogenous bases; adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine wheresas RNA contains the bases; adenine, thymine, cytosine and urasil. DNA codes for the nucleotides in an RNA molecule, whereas DNA codes for the amino acid sequence in a protein

1. Which of the following events is not a source of genetic variation in eukaryotic organisms?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Mitosis

Explanation:

Mitosis is not a source of genetic mutation because it take place mostly in the somatic cells. This is because it does not lead to the production of gametes . In mitosis, the parent cells divide into two daughter cells and each daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell because they carry the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. There is no genetic variation in this.
