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.

Compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes in terms of structures; list specific organelles which are present in each, as w
ozzi
Prokaryotes and eukaryotes both have a plasma membrane, mitochondria, golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum in common. But, prokaryotes have cell walls, chloroplast, and larger vacuoles because they are plant cells and animals don't need chloroplast since they don't undergo photosynthesis and don't need to hold as much water in their vacuoles.
