Answer:

(a) crossing over: Meiosis I, Recombination

(b) chromatids separate at their centromeres and migrate to opposite poles: Meiosis II, Anaphase II

Explanation:

Homologous recombination is a type of genetic recombination that occurs during meiosis (formation of ovum and sperm cells). The paired chromosomes of the male and female parents are aligned so that similar DNA sequences intersect. This crossing over produces an exchange of genetic material, which is an important cause of the genetic variability observed in the offspring.

Meiosis II: Anaphase II. The centromeres separate and the daughter chromatids - now individual chromosomes - move to the opposite poles of the cell. The centromeres separate, and the two chromatids of each chromosome move toward the opposite poles in the spindle.

Meiosis II: Metaphase II. Chromosomes are accommodated in the equatorial plate of metaphase, similar to what happens in mitosis. They are attached to the already fully formed meiotic spindle. Each chromosome is aligned in the equatorial plate of the metaphase, as it happens in mitosis.

Which of the following is true of conifers? A) The sporophytes grow directly from the gametophyte. B) The gametophytes grow dire

Flauer [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, The gametophytes grow directly from the sporophyte

Explanation:

Conifers are gymnosperm which reproduce through the exposed seeds (seeds not included in fruits) found in the cones. The trees or plant on which these conifers grow are called sporophytes. In the sporophyte, the male and female gametes fuse together to form zygote which further develops into a seed. At the right time, these seeds get dispersed into wind and they grow into new plants known as sporophytes.

Answer:

A swollen earlobe can be red, uncomfortable, and painful. The typical causes of earlobe swelling are infection, allergies, and trauma. While most earlobe injuries can be treated with over-the-counter medications and home remedies, you might want to see your doctor if your symptoms are really severe.Any injury to the earlobe can cause swelling — even an injury as minor as wearing earrings that are too tight.
