The chromosomes of offspring are not identical to those of their parents or siblings because <u>genetic information</u> is shuffled during meiosis.

Meiosis can be described as a cell division process by which gamete cells divide. The number of chromosomes is reduced to half in this cell division process.

During the process of meiosis, genetic information is shuffled between non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. This shuffling process is referred to as crossing over. A new combination of alleles is formed due to the process of crossing over.

It is due to the process of crossing over that the organisms produced are not identical to each other or the parents. Genetic diversity is important in order for populations to survive which is possible through the process of meiosis.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

A cell membrane is made of two layers.

The cell membrane is composed by a phospholipid bilayer where the interior side is hydrophobic and non-polar, while the outside is hydrophilic and polar

Pores and proteins in the cell membrane allow passage through it.

The pores and proteins in the cell membrane have several functions such as, for example, cell signaling (proteins) and selective transport (pores)

erastova [34]

Complete question:

Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the disease and blood group are independently inherited.

A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time.

Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease, what is the probability that the second child will also have the disease? Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/2).

Answer:

The probability that the second child will also have the disease is 1/16.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Two genes independently inherited: one for blood type, the other for disease
  • Man with type A blood  x  Woman with type B blood
  • Both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease; Dd

If the man has A blood, and the woman has B blood, and they already have an affected child, this means that they must be heterozygous for blood type too.
