Answer:

If an individual Drosophila has two or more populations of cells comprising different genotypes from one single egg then it is termed as twin spots or mosaic.

Explanation:

There might be different reasons for mosaic to occur like

Nondisjunctioning of the chromosomes

Lag in anaphase

Endoreplication

Mutations in a single cell

Mitotic recombination:

One of the major ways through which mosaic or twin spots arise is the mitotic recombination. It is also termed as somatic cross over. Twin spot or mosaic generally occurs if there is linking of heterozygous genes in repulsion. The recombination generally happens among the centromeres from the adjacent genes.

A common example of the mitotic recombination is the Bloom's syndrome. Bloom's syndrome is caused due to the mutation that occurs in the <em>blm</em> gene. As a result, there are defects in the BLM protein produced.

Which of the following environmental factors likely led to the exponential growth seen in fireweed after the Yellowstone wildfir

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Decrease in competition from other plants.

Explanation:

Decrease in competition from other plants is the environmental factors likely leaf to the exponential growth seen in fireweed after the Yellowstone wildfires because decrease in population from other plants will lead to a particular species dorminating a particular geographical area and this dorminating species are Dorminant when competition has been reduced by wild fire and this will lead to exponential growth where the available resources will be abundance or unlimited or resources increases.
