How does meiosis introduce genetic variation into offspring?

2 answers:

Answer: Meiosis leads to increased genetic variation by reshuffling genes and creating random genes. The variation produced by meiosis accounts for differences in closely related individuals, such as members of the same family, as well as genetic differences in people within larger populations

<span>Genetic variation is introduced as a result of the distinct crossing over of chromosomes in both phases of prophase. In the meiosis process, there can also be mutations in the s phase which are very unpredictable and can result in some very significant variations depending on where the coding is. by independent assoartment and 3 by mutations in s phase. Because of the way that </span>meiosis is set up it allows for the offspring to be either very similar to the parents or can even be very different from these factors.

<span>How are the dark reactions that occur in plants dependent on the light reactions?
a.The chemical energy used in the dark reactions is produced in the light reactions.

Photosynthesis is divided into two parts.
1) Light - dependent reaction
2) Light - independent reaction

Light dependent reaction absorb energy from the sun to produce ATP and NADPH, these energies are used in the light-independent reaction. The ATP provides the energy, while the NADPH provides the electrons required to fix the carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.

A patient is scheduled for a fiberoptic colonoscopy. what does the nurse know that fiberoptic colonoscopy is most frequently use

Naya [18.7K]

During colonoscopy, a flexible Fiberoptic or video colonoscope is used to visualize, examine and photograph the large intestine including the anus, the rectum and the sigmoid, transverse and ascending colon. This procedure is most frequently used for cancer screening and for surveillance in patients with previous colon cancer or polyps. In addition, tissue biopsies can be obtained as needed and polyps can be removed and evaluated. Other uses of colonoscopy include the evaluation of patients with diarrhea of unknown cause, occult bleeding, or anemia; further study of abnormalities detected after a barium enema and diagnosis clarification and determination of the extent of inflammatory or other bowel disease. Colonoscopy is contraindicated if the patient has a suspected or documented colon perforation, acute severe diverticulitis or fulminant colitis.

Imagine you are administering an HIV patient's drug cocktail treatment for the day. The patient has become curious about how the

sammy [17]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

A) First of all, it must be considered that HIV has a RNA genome.

The reverse transcriptase is a viral enzyme able to convert a RNA molecule (in this case the RNA would be the viral genome) to DNA. This process is important for two reasons:

* The DNA molecule is more stable than RNA --> Therefore, there is a higher likely that the molecule wouldn't be degradated by the host.

* The viral genome made of DNA will be integrated into the host genome --> To do so, it requires to be DNA instead of RNA

B) The inibitor is able to target the Reverse Transcriptase --> So, the likehood of converting RNA to DNA is lower. In this case, the single RNA molecule is less stable than the DNA and the host can degradate it more easily.

C) In general, the viral will not survive the treatment and, hence, the patient will not suffer from the viral infection
