Three ways you can identify pairs of homologous chromosomes?

Biology
1 answer:
diamong [38]3 years ago
6 0

An organism inherits one chromosome of a homologous pair from the maternal parent and the other chromosome from the paternal parent. Although both chromosomes possess the same genes and loci, they may feature different alleles, or versions, of those genes. For example, a maternally inherited chromosome in a pea plant may contain an allele that codes for a green pod, while the allele for a yellow pod may be found at the same location on the paternally inherited homologous chromosome. The differences between alleles of a gene are determined by deviations in their DNA sequences.

A diploid organism possesses two copies of each type of chromosome, with the potential exception of the sex chromosomes, in each of its cells. Humans, for example, have a total of 46 chromosomes in their cells. Human females have two copies of the sex chromosome called the X chromosome, so they have 23 sets of homologous chromosomes. Human males, however, possess one X sex chromosome and one Y sex chromosome, so they have 22 sets of homologous chromosomes, plus two sex chromosomes that are not homologous.

Whatts the mechanism behind emotions? why do we have emotions?
Alexeev081 [22]
In biopsychology, there is a system in the brain which is called the limbic system. The limbic system is responsible for one's memory, emotions and instincts -drives.
Many researchers suggest that the existence of emotions helped the animal kingdom to respond to sociality and survive better, emotion can also be translated into care and love. These traits also aid why infants, babies and other offsprings of animals are cared for which has a great influence on the survival of the species.

Amygdala, responsible for pain, aggression and grief which is anterior to the hippocampus factors why our memories have incorporated and is strengthened with emotions at that specific circumstance.

The same agricultural practices are used in every country of the world.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Well you already know the answer is false but I want to elaborate on this for other people who have the same / similar question.

The main source of meat, milk and eggs in most, if not all, countries are Factory-Farms, which are highly abusive, cruel industries that provide meat to around 99% of business I assume haha. A lot of businesses that claim to use "humane" practices of getting meat, dairy and eggs are not true, there is really no human way to get meat or dairy (you can humanely get eggs though factory farms don't) you can read more about this stuff on SentientMedia (graphic content warning)

Farms around the world though use different ways of harvesting (by hand, by machine etc.) planting, different kinds of crops, different ways of waters, what kind of land they plant their crops in.

Hope this helps

have a nice day((:
