How does crossing over add to the genetic diversity of sexually reproducing organisms

Biology
1 answer:
Jlenok [28]3 years ago
6 0
Crossover is the first way that genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Crossover takes place in sexual reproduction. Chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other. When they break at the same place (locus) in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called genetic recombination. That is the normal way for crossover to occur. Genetic recombination ensures that the daughter cells produced have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity is created.

Which of the reactions of photosynthesis require pigments absorbing solar energy?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

During photosynthesis, a green pigment called chlorophyll is required to absorb solar energy. The reaction in photosynthesis that requires pigments to absorb solar energy is called LIGHT REACTION.

Explanation:

Light reaction is considered to be the first stage or phase during photosynthesis and the key elements that is needed for the reaction to take place is- sunlight and chlorophyll.  Chlorophyll is a pigment that makes the leaves of the plant appear green. There is also another important function of chlorophyll that is to trap solar energy during the process of photosynthesis to convert the trapped solar energy into chemical energy- ATP molecules. These ATP molecules then form glucose- food for the plant.
