Deduce how two genes for different traits that are on the same chromosome can fail to be inherited together.

This is the consequence of the exchange of genetic material called crossing over. It is known that diploid cells carry two versions of each gene, namely, two alleles. Meiosis results in haploid gametes with only one set of chromosomes. Crossing over occurs in meiosis where homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange different segments of the genetic material. So, although they are on the same chromosome, alleles for one trait will be exchanged, and for another will not. This results in chromosomes with new combinations of genes. Without crossing over, all traits on one chromosome will be inherited together, so a parent will produce gametes with only two different combinations and genetic variation will be significantly decreased.

Which of the following is NOT a domain? A.Archaea B.Bacteria C.Eukarya D. Chordata.
OleMash [197]
The answer is D. Chordata.

There are three domains of life - Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. All organisms that belong to the domains Archaea or Bacteria have cell walls. In the domain Eukarya, there are some groups that have cell walls and others that do not.

Chordata is phylum of the kingdom Animalia which belongs to the domain Eukarya. So, Chordata cannot be a domain.

Select all that apply. Which statements correspond to cellular respiration? CO2 diffuses passively into the cell. CO2 diffuses p
Lady_Fox [76]

The correct answer is:


CO2 diffuses passively out of the cell. O2 in respiration is converted to water. O2 diffuses in to the cell.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the chemical reaction in which glucose and oxygen are converted into water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP). In this reaction, glucose and oxygen are reactants, while water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP) are products. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to change biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate and then discharge waste products.
