Explanation:

Crossing over is an important section of the normal segregation of the chromosomes in case of the meiosis. Crossing over happens due to the genetic variations, as the genetic materials gets alter at the time of crossing over. The chromatids that are bind together with the help of the centromere do not remain similar in this case. Crossing over gives rise to variation because the alternation takes place between the nonidentical chromatids having different characteristics or traits. Sometimes gives rise to completely new trait which is not present in both the parents this condition makes the . genetic diversity.

An unlabeled hierarchical diagram of various astronomical bodies is shown. The labels A, B, C and D can be used to represent the

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Part 1:

The four astronomical bodies one could choose to represent the 4 labels in the diagram are

A - universe

B - galaxy

C - solar system

D - Mars

The universe contains galaxies and galaxies holds solar systems which have planets like Mars

Part 2: D or a planet like Mars is unlike all their other astronomical bodies it does not have other astronomical bodies within it thus, its different from rest.

The head of a giraffe is 2.0 m above its heart and the density of the blood is 1.05 103 kg/m3. what is the difference in pressur

erastovalidia [21]

The giraffe head is higher than its heart so the blood pressure in the head must be lower than in the heart. The pressure is directly related to the density, gravity, and the height. The calculation would be:

<span>P = ρ*g*h
</span>P= 1.05* 10^3 kg/m3 * 9.8m/s2 * 2m= <span>20 580 pascals= 20.58 kpa</span>

What is the biodiversity score of farmland (maize)?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

The intensification of agriculture has caused dramatic declines in farmland biodiversity (Carvalheiro et al., 2013; Senapathi et al., 2015). Since the 1990s, agricultural policies have been developed in Europe to mitigate this loss through agri-environmental schemes (AES). One AES is “sown wildflower strips”, the aim of which is to create new ecological infrastructures by sowing attractive wild flowers on arable land (a few % of the cultivated area). These ecological infrastructures fall within our definition of MIMS since they represent a massive introduction of managed species in the landscape.

Hershey and Chase used radioactive isotopes to label different parts of the phage. They grew one batch of phage in the presence

AlekseyPX

The sulphur would lable the capsule and the phosphorous the nucleic acid.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Hershey and Chase experiment included growing of the pages in two batches, one in presence of 35S and other in presence of 32P. They then infected bacterial cells with these phages, cleaned them and then centrifuge the cells to isolate the marked elements in bacterial cells.

This was done to isolate which part of the phage is actually infective. Sulphur being a part of the proteins will mark the capsule whereas DNA having the phosphate bridges will be marked by 32P.
