[2 marks ]

(e) Explain how the students conducted the investigation to determine the type of variation

in the height of people ?

-The height of each person are measured using the height

measurement ruler.

- The height is grouped into five classes of height range

- The height range is recorded in a frequency table.

- A histogram is drawn to show the normal distribution[3 marks ]

Chromosomal mutation -changes in the structure of chromosomes or the

number of chromosomes.

Gene mutation -Chemical change in the structure of gene, it may also alter

the DNA or genetic code.

(c) Base from the statement above , explain the three sources of genetic factors

during sexual reproduction [10 marks]

Answer .

No. Answer Mark

1(a) -Diagram 15.4 is (height ) continuous variation

-Because the differences between individuals are slight

and can be changed .

-Diagram 15.5 is ( type of fingerprints ) Discontinuous

variation

-Because the differences between individuals are obvious

and cannot be changed

There are three sources of genetic factors in sexual reproduction events :

Crossing over during meiosis 1

Independent assortment during meiosis

are paired up in a bivalent.

-The non-sister chromatids break at the chiasma.

-Segment of the chromatids exchange places .

-The exchange of genetic materials between the chromatids

results in new , different genetic combination of genes from the

parents.

-The new genetic combination result in variation .

Independent assortment during meiosis

-During metaphase I of meiosis , homologous chromosomes

arrange themselves randomly at the equator.

-The random arrangement and separation of each homologous

pair is independent of one another.

-Independent assortment produces various genetic

combinations in the gametes .

Random fertalisation

-Each gametes has a unique set or combination of genes .

-A male gamete can fertilise any of the female gametes, .

-so, the fertalisation between a male gamete and a female

gamete occurs randomly.

-As a result , a zygote is formed with variety of gene

combination.

-With random fertilasation , variations occur in the offspring.
