How do the random distribution of chromosomes and crossovers create more variation in the resulting gametes?

Biology
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago
4 0

When cells divide during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed during anaphase I, separating and segregating independently of each other. This is called independent assortment. It results in gametes that have unique combinations of chromosomes.

<em>Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity.</em>

What is the amino acid sequence for the mRNA strand CACCCAUGGUGA?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon

Explanation:

The mRNA strand in the question is produced as a result of a process called TRANSCRIPTION. However, the mRNA transcript is further used to synthesize an amino acid sequence in a process called TRANSLATION. The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotide bases called CODON.

Each codon specifies an amino acid which is represented in the GENETIC CODE. In this case, a sequence of mRNA strand is given as: CACCCAUGGUGA

The following codons in the sequence specify the following amino acid:

CAC - Histidine

CCA - Proline

UGG - Tryptophan

UGA - Stop codon

Hence, the amino acid sequence encoded by the given mRNA strand is Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon.

N.B: After a stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) is encountered, the translation process stops.

Which of the following statements is false?Algae are used to make many commercial products, like marshmallows and paint.Algae ca
yarga [219]

Answer:Algae contributes to the phosphorus cycle

Explanation:Algae are organisms which have distinct chlorophyll and are autotrophic in nature .Most of them live in water.Algae include the Unicellular chlamydomanas and the multicellular sea weed.some algae are colonial and some are filamentuous.Algae possess chlorophyll, carotenoids and phycobillins as pigments.

Algae are important primary producers in the water bodies and produces a significant portion of oxygen.

Some algae eg diatoms are fossilized due to their glass cell wall and are known as diatomaceous earth, which has various uses such as abrasives,tooth paste and as filters.

Red algae produces calcium carbonate which forms coral reefs.

The products of some algae are used as solid gels and source of agar for microorganism culture.
