Three ways you can identify pairs of homologous chromosomes?

Biology

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.

Which human body systems interact to perform temperature regulation along with the nervous and endocrine systems?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Hypothalamus of human body system interact to perform temperature regulation along with nervous system and endocrine system.

Explanation:

Hypothamus is an important part of our lower brain that play a significant role in regulation of body temperature.

   Hypothalamus works with nervous system along with the other parts of our body such as blood vessels,skin and sweat gland to maintain temperature homeostasis of human body.

  When our body temperature rises at that time hypothalamus slows down the rate of metabolism of our body to restrict further increase in our body temperature and also dilates the blood vessels present beneath the skin so that body can liberate heat to the environment.

 on the other hand when the body temperature decreases at that time hypothalamus increases the metabolic rate of our body to increase the body temperature and also the constrict the blood vessels present under the skin.

Nitrogen gas from the atmosphere can be converted into a useable form of nitrogen in the soil by
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Fixation

Explanation:

The majority of nitrogen is fixed by bacteria which are symbiotic with plants which are converted to biologically useful forms by specialized bacteria. This occurs in two steps:

  • bacteria convert ammonia in to (nitrites) NO₂,
  • bacteria species convert it to NO₃ (nitrate).

Nitriates are a form of nitrogen that is usable by plants. It is assimilated into plant tissue as protein. The nitrogen is passed through the food chain by animals that consume the plants, and then released into the soil by decomposer bacteria when they die.
