Crossing-over of chromatid segments during meiosis division I results in the formation of genetic variation.
<span>Crossing-over is an event during the meiosis (during prophase I)<span> and represents the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. As a result of it, the creation of new combinations of genes on each chromosome occur. The exchange can happen many times within the same pair of homologous chromosomes, creating unique combinations of alleles.</span></span>

Crossing over of chromatid segments during meiosis division 1 results in new gene combinations.  Cross over occurs between prophase 1 and metaphase 1 and is the process where homologous chromosomes pair up with each other and exchange different segments of their genetic material to form recombinant chromosomes. Additionally, it can happen during mitotic division ; which may result in loss of heterozygosity.

Which cells contain this organelle: plant cells, animal cells, or both
Fiesta28 [93]

Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements.

Due to the fact that we possess enzymes that break down the alpha linkages in starch, the glucose molecules that make up amylose
dedylja [7]

The answer is: A. True

Complex sugars or polysaccharides are composed of basic units called monosaccharides that are linked via  glycosidic bonds. Glycosidic bond is formed through condensation reactions (water is released) that occur between a hydroxyl (OH) oxygen atom on one sugar and the α-anomeric form of C-1 on the other. There are are two types of glycosidic bonds:

- 1,4 alpha ( the OH is below the glucose ring)

- 1,4 beta glycosidic bonds (the OH is above the glucose ring)

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into smaller glucose molecules, it act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds and it works in mouth where the digestion begins (salivary amylase) . Maltase breaks down maltose into glucose; sucrase, breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose; and lactase, which breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose work in small intestine and also act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.

Suppose you plant a seed and observe that a tree of large mass grows from it.The tree achieves a final mass that changes very li
Nadya [2.5K]

The answer should be

B Both anabolic and catabolic reactions took place in the seed and tree when it was young and growing and both continue now even though the tree reached a stable mass.


The trees should be capable to do both anabolic and catabolic reaction when it is seed or when it is already a big tree. Anabolic reaction happens when the plant making bigger molecule from many smaller molecule, such as in photosynthesis. Anabolic reaction could increase the mass of the plants or be used to make food. Catabolism reaction used to extract energy from the food.

50 points!!! please define the philogenetic species concept and please explain it with an example, it's realy urgent
pickupchik [31]
Phylogenetic species concept (PSC) The concept of a species as an irreducible group whose members are descended from a common ancestor and who all possess a combination of certain defining, or derived, traits (see apomorphy). ... "phylogenetic species concept." A Dictionary of Biology. .

Or

The biological species concept has its limitations (although it works well for many organisms and has been very influential in the growth ofevolutionary theory). ... In thisexample, Ensatina salamander lineages A and B are separate species.Each has a common ancestor that individuals of other species do not.

I hope that this helps you out

Describe what “the cell cycle” is and its role in human cells.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The cell cycle is the cycle of which the cells grow and split. The cell cycle consists of two main phases, interphase and mitosis. In interphase, the cell grows and duplicates its DNA to prepare for mitosis. In the phase of mitosis, the cell splits its DNA into two nuclei and is split.
