How does crossing over add to the genetic diversity of sexually reproducing organisms?

neonofarm [45]

Crossover is the first way that genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Crossover takes place in sexual reproduction. Chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other. When they break at the same place (locus) in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called genetic recombination. That is the normal way for crossover to occur. Genetic recombination ensures that the daughter cells produced have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity is created.

Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is an enzyme that converts fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, by adding a phosphate gr

erica [24]

Answer:

D. Allosteric activator

Explanation:

In an enzyme, the allosteric site is a site/motif different from the active site, (i.e., the site with catalytic activity) which is able to interact with regulatory effector molecules in order to activate or inhibit enzymatic activity by influencing the tridimensional (3D) structure of the enzyme. An allosteric activator is an effector molecule with the ability to bind to a specific enzyme at a different site than the active site, thereby modifying the shape of the enzyme and increasing the affinity of this enzyme for its substrate. Moreover, Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is a nucleotide composed of a phosphate group, a sugar ribose, and an Adenine (A) base. This effector molecule (AMP) has shown to allosterically stimulate diverse enzymes in physiological conditions (e.g., AMP-activated protein kinase).

Anna [14]

Question is incomplete. Complete Question is as follows.

Antibodies are proteins that have a lock-and-key recognition for their antigen established by the antigen-binding site on the antibody. Match the antibodies in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.

neither anti-A nor anti-B

anti-O

anti-AB

anti-A

anti-A and anti-B

anti-B

1) People who have the A antigen on the surface of their red blood cells have __________antibodies in their plasma.

2) People who have the B antigen on the surface of their red blood cells have ___________ antibodies in their plasma.

3) People who have both A and B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells have ____________ antibodies in their plasma.

4) People who have neither A nor B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells have _________ antibodies in their plasma.

Answer:

1) People who have the A antigen on the surface of their red blood cells have anti-B antibodies in their plasma.

2) People who have the B antigen on the surface of their red blood cells have anti-A antibodies in their plasma.

3) People who have both A and B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells have neither anti-A nor anti B antibodies in their plasma.

4) People who have neither A nor B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells have both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in their plasma.

Explanation:

The antigen present on the surface of the RBC determines the blood group of the person.

The type of antigen present on the RBC determines that which antibody will be present in the blood. Always opposite antibody is present in the blood in order to prevent the reaction of antigen antibody and prevent agglutination.

For example For A antigen , anti A antibody will never be present, always anti-B antibody will be present because if anti-A antibody will be present, it will react with the A antigen resulting in the agglutination of the blood.

similarly all the other blood group antigens are varying with the antibodies.
