Traits controlled by organellar dna do not show mendelian inheritance because

Biology
1 answer:
Lapatulllka [165]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

In mendelian inheritance, the alleles for a gene show normal dominant-recessive relationship. Chromosomes also show crossover due to which new random combination of traits is possible in the offspring. This crossover takes place between homologous chromosomes during meiosis I.

Organellar DNA like the ones present in mitochondria and chloroplast do not follow mendelian inheritance because unlike nuclear chromosomes they do not have cross over events. There is no orderly segregation of alleles during meiosis. Traits controlled by them are usually inherited as it is and usually it is from the maternal parent because paternal gamete like sperm does not contain mitochondria.

Which gas is used by plants for photosynthesis and released by all living things during respiration?
Tju [1.3M]
During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose

The diagram shows the process of meiosis. How many divisions are required to decrease chromosome numbers and produce gametes?
Tresset [83]

The right answer is 2 divisions.

Meiosis follows the replication of DNA from a reproductive cell (male or female). It allows the passage of a so-called diploid mother cell to 2n chromosome homologous chromosomes to 4 single-chromosome haploid daughter cells. For that it must pass by two successive divisions, the first division is reductionelle generating two diploid cells with n chromosomes. the second division is equational giving 4 haploid cells to n chromosomes from the two preceding cells.
