Assume that an organism exists in which crossing over does not occur, but that all other processes associated with meiosis occur

normally. Consider how the absence of crossing over would affect the outcome of a single meiotic event. Which of the following statements would be true if crossing over did not occur?

Answer:

The options are missing, they are:

a.The daughter cells of meiosis I would be diploid, but the daughter cells of meiosis II would be haploid.

b.The two sister chromatids of each replicated chromosome would no longer be identical.

c.The four daughter cells produced in meiosis II would all be different.

d.The two daughter cells produced in meiosis I would be identical.

e.There would be less genetic variation among gametes.

f.Independent assortment of chromosomes would not occur.

The correct answer is E, there would be less genetic variation among gametes.

Explanation:

Crossing-over or also called recombination is a phenomenon peculiar to meiosis alone. Meiosis is that kind of division that is employed by sexual-reproducing organisms to produce gamete/sex cells. Crossing-over is a process that may or may not occur, if it does, it occurs in prophase of meiosis I, and it involves exchanging equal chromosomal segments between two non-sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes. Crossing-over is the means by which sexually reproducing organisms use to bring about genetic variation among their species.

It is worthy to note that the non-occurrence of crossing-over does not affect the number of chromosomes as a normal meiotic division will always yield haploid gametes right from meiosis I.

Since crossing-over did not occur, the homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes) will separate into each cell during meiosis I, meaning that each cell will have chromosomes that are either maternal or paternal. This will reduce the chance of genetic variation occuring among species.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

<u>State</u> anxiety is the actual experience of apprehension and uncontrolled arousal and <u>trait</u> anxiety is a personality characteristic, which represents a latent disposition to perceive situations as threatening.

Explanation:

<u>State anxiety:</u> It is basically a "right now" feeling which changes from moment to moment, manifesting itself as an interruption of an individual's emotion state, leading to a sudden superversion of emotional equilibrium, caused by external factors of current state. e.g An atheletes emotional state at any given time that is variable from situation to situation.

<u>Trait anxiety:</u> It is a personality disposition which is stable over time. e.g An atheletes disposition to interpreting a situation as threatning and responding with an increase in state anxiety.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The correct option is e

Explanation:

An inversion mutation is a situation in which a sequence of the gene on a chromosome breaks out and rearranges itself from reverse (to the beginning) and then attaches itself back to the point of breakage of the same chromosome.

From the question, mutation changed the gene sequence from ABC*DEFGH to ABC*DGFEH. From this mutation, it can be seen that the gene sequence "EFG" broke-out, rearranged itself from reverse to the beginning as "GFE" and then attached itself back to the points of breakage.

NOTE: This type of inversion is called paracentric inversion since the centromere (represented as * in the question) is not part of the breakage.

4. Sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are environmental factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Anton [14]

Answer:1.Yes plants take in carbon dioxide for "air" they need water to keep hydrated sunlight helps it make food.

2.Then the entire process of photosynthesis would crash. If no carbon dioxide the plant would not be able to breath and die, No water and it dies of thrist and no sunlight and the plant shivers and dies.
