Sara and Helen have blue eyes like their mother. Describe how genetic information is passed on from a parent to a child.

GIVING THE BRAINLIEST

Genetic information is passed on from a parent to a child via the process of meiosis. When the cells divide, the four games produced are all different. Even though they all have the same number of chromosomes and carry information about the same characteristics, the specific information varies. For example, a homologous pair of chromosomes carry the gene for eye colour, where one chromosome caries the gene and holds information for a for blue eye colour and the other specifies brown eyes. When this cell forms gametes, half will have the information carrying for blue eyes and the other half will have the information for brown eyes. So, for Sarah and Helen to have blue eyes, it is clear that they both have the gene that carries information for their mother's blue eye colour.

Wetlands form where water and land meet. a lake with a wetland fringe can fill in with decayed plant and animal material to become a wet meadow. a pond can fill in to become a bog or fen. sediment can fill in a river marsh to become a swamp.flooding of coastal lowlands from rising sea levels has created broad coastal marshes that are protected from wave action by barrier islands or reefs. coastal wetlands also form when rivers deposit sediment as they reach the ocean. plants then take root and hold the soil firm against the forces of tides and waves.
