Answer:

Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. Mitochondrial DNA contains 37 genes, all of which are essential for normal mitochondrial function. Thirteen of these genes provide instructions for making enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation.

maxonik [38]

Sickle cell anemia can be described as a disorder which is caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin beta gene which is found on chromosome number 11.

What holds non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes together in prophase i of meiosis?
inysia [295]

The correct answer is: The synaptonemal complex.

Non-sister chromatids are chromatids from two homologous chromosomes. In prophase I of meiosis two homologous chromosomes pair and this pairing is called synapsis. This allows possible crossing over to occur. Two non-sister chromatids are connected in synapsis by a protein-RNA complex called the synaptonemal complex.

Crossing-over or the physical exchange of chromosome parts might occur and bring to genetic recombination. The sites of crossing-over between nonsister chromatids and are called chiasmata.
