Which best describes the difference between osmosis and diffusion?

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to low particle concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration

Hope this helps, have a BLESSED and wonderful day! c:

Well Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. And Diffusion is the net passive movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.

During meiosis homologous chromosomes often twist around each other break exchange segments and rejoin this process usually cont

Annette [7]

Explanation:

Crossing over, or genetic recombination contributes to genetic variation and diversity.

In early Prophase I of meiosis, crossing over occurs. This is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined. The chromosome pairs form tetrads held together at chiasmata.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells. This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained. Conversely in meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

During the process of prophase I one the nuclear envelope containing chromosomes has only partly broken down homologous chromosomes are joined together by proteins and a complex or pairing call synapsis- corresponding genes on chromatids are aligned precisely. The syanpsis allows for crossing over which is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.

Crossing over contributes to genetic variation and diversity; novel gene combinations in gametes are formed, which are not present in parent chromosomes. Genetic diversity describes all the genetic characteristics or traits within a species.

The lineage of pea plants produced round seeds for four generations. The plants that fertilized these pea plants also produced r

adell [148]

Yes, it is possible.

In this case both of the parental plants were heterozygotes and they manifested dominant allele in their phenotype, which is round seed.

P: Aa x Aa

F5: AA, Aa, aA, aa - possible genotypes in fifth generations.

A- dominant allele (round seeds); a- recessive allele (wrinkled seeds)

Wrinkled phenotype is manifested only if there are two recessive alleles present.
