Spontaneous generation is the belief that there is a form of creation of a living organism that just happens or can occur from an inanimate or dead object. Although disproved, some people still debate it today. The importance of it in relation to the scientific community and cell theory is one that provides guidance for adhering to the most rigid of standards in order to be actually considered scientific and that observation alone is not credible. It could be related to cell theory by suggesting the conversion of one type of cells to another spontaneously, which would be impossible as we now know without the intervention of another living organism like bacteria. The cellular level of these living organisms being incredibly small.

Match each definition to the appropriate term. locus
liraira [26]
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.

torisob [31]

Answer:

The foundation for biological evolution or descent through modification is all living things are made of one or more cells

Explanation:

In biology, every living organisms possess one or two cells because that is the basic unit of life. some organisms are unicellular (single-cell organism) and multi-cellular organisms such as man. The fundamental of every living organism is based on cell which later forms tissue then organ before it eventually forms a system that function together as an entity.
