Passive transport can only occur when there is a concentration gradient of low to high for a substance?

1 answer:

8 0

FALSE. Passive transport unlike active transport does not require energy or an outside force to act upon it in order to create an even gradient. As shown in diffusion, and osmosis we can see gases and liquids easily perform passive transport when high and low gradients are present, this continues until they are equal.

Which statement is true of crossing over?

Arada [10]

Answer:

B. It allows for genetic variation.

Explanation:

As prophase progresses, homologous chromosomes come to lie side by side and become intertwined rather like a zipper. This process is called synapsis. During synapsis, homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material between one another which allows for genetic variation. This exchange is called crossing over.
