What is the importance of the genes being on separate chromosomes as it relates to meiosis
(A small paragraph)
THANKS!

Before cell division, replication of genes and chromosome occurs. Replication is a process in which two small identical copies are formed. When meiosis occurs, these copies are distributed between daughter cells. In meiosis l, the daughter cells which are formed are diploid i. e. double number of chromosomes and in meiosis ll, these two daughter cells are again divided and produce four daughter cells. Each having half number of chromosome.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
