Answer:

G and K

Explanation:

Crossing-over is a genetic phenomenon that occurs in meiosis, specifically, Prophase I. It is when chromosomal segment (genes) are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Crossing-over occurs only to genes that are UNLINKED i.e. genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.

This unlinked genes are said to have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY. Crossing-over allows genes on the same chromosome but far apart from each other, assort independently, which allows alleles to be recombined on the same chromosome. This phenomenon does not occur to genes that are close on the same chromosome as they will be inherited together as a unit.

In this case, G and K are the farthest apart, hence, they will have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY i.e. the likelihood for homologous crossing-over to take place during meiosis.

Count up the number of atoms on each side of the equation below and write this in the chart.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The equation to this question is unclear. The clear equation is:

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

Please find the number of atoms of each element on the reactant and product side below.

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest indivisible part of an element. The atom retains the chemical properties of the chemical element. In order to ensure that a chemical reaction between molecules and compounds is BALANCED, the number of atoms of each element that makes up the molecule/compound must be the same on both the reactants and products side.

In this case, the chemical reaction involves:

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

1. Carbon atom (C):

Reactants side = 1 atom

Products side = 1 atom

2. Oxygen atom (O):

Reactants side = 4 atoms

Products side = 4 atoms

3. Hydrogen atom (H):

Reactants side = 4 atoms

Products side = 4 atoms

The rogue form of prion protein exists primarily in the ________ conformation.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

beta sheets

Explanation:

  • The proteinaceous particles that lack nucleic acids and are not viruses are termed as prions. 
  • In the healthy brain tissue, the prion proteins are present in the form PrPC, however, in case of prion disease, the normal protein becomes denatured and misfolded and exists in the rogue form which is PrPSc. 
  • The normal form that is PrPC mainly exists in the form of alpha-helices and can bind to copper, however, the rogue form exists mainly in the beta-sheet configuration and is resistant to proteolysis.
