Answer:
Crossing over increases the genetic variation
Errors in crossover formation result in chromosomal rearrangements (duplications and deletions) and may also cause chromosome nondisjunction
Explanation:
Crossing over, also known as recombination, refers to the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Crossing over increases the genetic variation of the resulting gametes, allowing different genetic combinations to be passed from parents to offspring. Unequal crossing over is a type of error associated with chromosomal duplication and/or deletion events. Unequal crossing over occurs when homologous sequences are not paired precisely. Moreover, errors in crossing over may also cause chromosome nondisjunction, thereby leading to aneuploidies.
Answer:
ATP and NADPH
Explanation:
The photosynthetic process carried out by plants involves two distinct stages: the light-dependent stage and the Light-independent stage. The light-dependent stage occurs in the thylakoid membrane of the CHLOROPLAST and it involves a series of chemical reactions that results in the formation of an energy storage molecule (ATP) and reduced electron carrier (NADPH).
These molecules enters the Calvin cycle or light-independent stage. The chemical energy of ATP and reducing ability of NADPH are used to phosphorylate and reduce a 3-carbon compound (PGA) in the Calvin cycle. These two molecules (NADPH and ATP) are important to keep the Calvin cycle in place. Hence, the Calvin cycle is dependent on the light reaction and this two molecules link the two stages.
The correct answer is: C) Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that most commonly affects lungs. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a small, aerobic, nonmotile bacillus type of bacteria responsible for this disease.
There are two forms of tuberculosis:
• Latent-without symptoms
• Active-with symptoms such as chronic cough, fever, sweats, weight loss..
People with active tuberculosis can spread it by the air while they cough, spit, speak, or sneeze.
