The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the fourth choice "Crossing over during metaphase allows segments of DNA from 2 parents to SWAP and produce non-identical haploid cells."

Mutations are changes in the DNA. A single mutation can have a large effect, but in many cases, evolutionary change is based on the accumulation of many mutations. Gene flow is any movement of genes from one population to another and is an important source ofgenetic variation.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Explain how x-rays cause damage to human cells.

sergiy2304 [10]

When the human body (its cells) is exposed to radiation (X rays and gamma rays), electrons are emitted from atoms and molecules. ... ・These radicals react immediately with surrounding atoms, causing abnormal chemical reactions (or, minor damage to localized areas of cells).

Which of the following is true of active transport?

denpristay [2]

Answer:

D. Molecules called pumps function to control active transport.

Explanation:

Active transport is one of the two types of transport (the other being passive transport). It is the type of transport in which substances move against their concentration gradient i.e. from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Hence, due to this, energy input in form of ATP is required by the cell.

However, the process of active transport makes use of certain molecules called PUMPS to control it. The pumps moves ions/molecules against their concentration gradient. An example is the sodium-pottasium pump which moves sodium ions from a region of low conc. to a region of high conc.

The transfer of genetically determined characteristics from generation to generation is termed The transfer of genetically deter

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The correct answer is inheritance.

Explanation:

Genetic characteristics are transferred from one generation to another.The mechanism of transfer of genetically determined characteristics from generation to generation is called inheritance.

Genetic characteristics are stored within the sex chromosome of both male(XY) and female(XX).During fertilization when the sperm cells fuses with ovum at that time some characteristics of both male and female gets incorporated into the diploid zygote which give rise to the new organism containing inherited genetic characteristics.
