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

Biology

bulgar [2K]3 years ago

Rossover 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.<span>

Answer:

It involves segments of two homologous chromosomes trading places.

Explanation:

Crossing over is the process of exchange of genetic segments between two non-sister chromatids of a homologous chromosome pair. It occurs in pachytene of prophase I of meiosis I. The exchange of segments between non sister chromatids of a homologous chromosome pair creates new gene combinations. So, crossing over creates genetic diversity by adding new gene combinations to gametes.

The liver forms glucose from noncarbohydrates. stores vitamin
Viefleur [7K]
<span>The propositions are:
a. forms glucose from </span><span>noncarbohydrates
b. does all of these
c. destroys damaged red blood cells
d. stores vitamin D
e. forms urea

The right answer is: B. </span>does all of these

*The liver plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates:- gluconeogenesis (manufacture of a new glucose molecule from a non-carbohydrate molecule);- glycogenolysis (release of glucose from glycogen) under the effect of glucagon;- gluconeogenesis (storage of glucose in the form of glycogen) under the effect of insulin
*It stores fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, K and E) and glycogen.*It converts ammonia to urea (detoxification)<span>*It recycles substances from the senescent red blood cells.</span>
