What shuffles genes and increases genetic variation in gametes during meiosis, when these homologous pairs are paired up ?

Biology

Marizza181 [45]2 years ago
4 0

Meiosis is referred to as reduction division as it divides the chromosome number in half. Crossing over or recombination is the main reason of shuffled genes and increased genetic variation in gametes in meiotic cell division as the homologous pairs are paired up during prophase.

<h3>What is crossing over?</h3>

Crossing over is referred to as the exchange of genes of DNA between paired homologous chromosomes. It actually occurs during the development of egg and sperm cells i.e., during meiosis.

It is an enzyme-mediated step, in which the exchange of genetic material takes place between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.

It actually occurs at the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis cell division.

Thus, it can be concluded that the crossing over is the main reason of shuffled genes and increased genetic variation.

Triss [41]

Answer: Propertys of water that make this bug float on water has to do with the hydrogen bonds that water creates they hydrogen bonds are polar in H2O which creates a dipole dipole effect. Because water has a dipole dipole effect water sticks together and even though it's not necessarily bonding it creates a positive negative force, similar to magnets.

Can you please help me I am super stuck
Reika [66]

Answer:

a.) 12 Newtons

b.) Same Direction

c.) Unbalanced

Explanation:

The system shows 2 individual forces:

A force of 5 N pulling the box LEFT

A force of 7N pushing the box LEFT

Both forces are LEFT, so they have the same direction.

Since the parallel forces both have the same direction, regardless of whether it's a push or pull or what side of the box the force acts upon, the resultant force will be the sum of the two forces in their direction:

Resultant force's magnitude is then: 5N + 7N = 12N

Resultant force's direction: unchanged = LEFT

Since the resultant force's magnitude is not 0, the system is unbalanced.

Which kind of molecule passes through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane?
Debora [2.8K]
C. Integral proteins span the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. The name refers to the protein being "integrated" into the membrane. Phospholipids make up the entire bilayer, cholesterol is usually found by the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipids, and peripheral proteins are attached to the outside of the membrane.
