Answer:

The correct answer is that it is held constant throughout the experiment.

Explanation:

A variable that is maintained constant all through the experiment is known as a control variable, and it is not the main concern in the outcome of the experiment. In an experiment, if there is any kind of change in a control variable it would lead to an error in the correlation of independent variable to the dependent variables, thus, affecting the results.

is held constant throughout the experiment.

the control group is used as a foundation for your experiment so you know what changes what and how to manipulate the independent variable.

The joining and crossing over of homologous chromosomes takes place in meiosis and not in mitosis. What do you think result from
ruslelena [56]
Mitosis is used for almost all of your body’s cell division needs. It adds new cells during development and replaces old and worn-out cells throughout your life. The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to their mothers, with not a single chromosome more or less. Meiosis, on the other hand, is used for just one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes—sex cells, or sperm and eggs. Its goal is to make daughter cells with exactly half as many chromosomes as the starting cell. To put that another way, meiosis in humans is a division process that takes us from a diploid cell—one with two sets of chromosomes—to haploid cells—ones with a single set of chromosomes. In humans, the haploid cells made in meiosis are sperm and eggs. When a sperm and an egg join in fertilization, the two haploid sets of chromosomes from a complete diploid set: a new genome.In many ways, meiosis is a lot like mitosis. The cell goes through similar stages and uses similar strategies to organize and separate chromosomes. In meiosis, however, the cell has a more complex task. It still needs to separate sister chromatids (the two halves of a duplicated chromosome), as in mitosis. But it must also separate homologous chromosomes, the similar but nonidentical chromosome pairs an organism receives from its two parents. These goals are accomplished in meiosis using a two-step division process. Homolog pairs separate during the first round of cell division, called meiosis I. Sister chromatids separate during a second round, called meiosis II. Since cell division occurs twice during meiosis, one starting cell can produce four gametes (eggs or sperm). In each round of division, cells go through four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.Before entering meiosis I, a cell must first go through interphase. As in mitosis, the cell grows during G_1 1 start subscript, 1, end subscript phase, copies all of its chromosomes during S phase and prepares for the division during G_2 2 start subscript, 2, end subscript phase. During prophase, I, differences from mitosis begin to appear. As in mitosis, the chromosomes begin to condense, but in meiosis I, they also pair up. Each chromosome carefully aligns with its homolog partner so that the two match up at corresponding positions along their full length. For instance, in the image below, the letters A, B, and C represent genes found at particular spots on the chromosome, with capital and lowercase letters for different forms, or alleles, of each gene. The DNA is broken at the same spot on each homologue—here, between genes B and C—and reconnected in a criss-cross pattern so that the homologs exchange part of their DNA.This process, in which homologous chromosomes trade parts, is called crossing over. It's helped along by a protein structure called the synaptonemal complex that holds the homologues together. The chromosomes would actually be positioned one on top of the other—as in the image below—throughout crossing over; they're only shown side-by-side in the image above so that it's easier to see the exchange of genetic material.
