Explain the relationship between crossing over and genetic variation

Biology
2 answers:
qaws [65]3 years ago

Crossing over is the process by which genetic material is exchanged by non-sister chromatids during meiosis.



Crossing over results in a new combination of genetic information for the cell for a specific trait.



Crossing over ensures that organisms are not identical from generation to generation.



Genetic recombination allows for a variation in genetic material that is passed through the generations

Semmy [17]3 years ago

A variation is a reference to the differences or deviations, such as the structure and form, as for crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between the non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

Wild diploid wheat has seven chromosomes in its pollen. Discuss the major events that had to occur for tetraploid pasta wheat to
lianna [129]

Answer:

Tetraploid wheat evolved by allopolyploidization and subsequent diploid-like behavior due to cytological diploidization

Explanation:

Durum wheat (<em>Triticum durum</em>) or pasta wheat, is a tetraploid wheat species that has 28 chromosomes, i.e., seven pairs in each genome (2n = 4x = 28). Durum wheat was domesticated from wild emmer wheat, which originated by hybridization of two diploid wheat species with 14 chromosomes: <em>Triticum monococcum</em> (genome AA) and one wild progenitor (genome BB). <em>Triticum durum </em>is a typical example of evolution by hybridization and polyploidization, where the resultant tetraploid species has two complete sets of chromosomes. Allopolyploidization is one of the most common types of plant speciation. During meiosis, 28 chromosomes form 14 homologous chromosome pairs, because homologous chromosomes have developed 'restriction of pairing' (i.e., cytological diploidization). The restriction of pairing to fully homologous chromosomes ensures a correct meiotic behavior, which otherwise would be altered due to the high level of homology that still exists among chromosomes from different wheat progenitors.

According to the _______ hypothesis, the moon formed far away from the earth and was later captured by the earth's gravity. The

Answer:

capture

giant impact hypothesis

The moon's mass is much lower than the earth's; therefore, its gravity isn't strong enough to hold an atmosphere. This lack of an atmosphere and the moon's small size allowed it to become cool enough to the point at which it completely solidified. Thus, the moon doesn't have any plate tectonic activity.
