How does energy from the sun affect the motion of molecules in a gas compared to molecules in a liquid?
suter [353]

Answer:

Molecules of gas starts movement when they get energy from the sun in the form of heat.

Explanation:

Molecules of gas absorbed heat energy coming from sun. This heat energy is converted into kinetic energy due to which gas molecule moves faster. Volume of gas molecules also increases due to expansion of molecules by the absorption of heat energy. So more space is occupied by gas molecule as compared to liquid molecules.

Explain how chromosome behavior during meiosis ensures transfer of parental traits to offspring
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Explanation:

During meiosis, sister chromosomes of a homologous pair separate into different cells during gamete formation . This mainly occurs in Metaphase I of meiosis where the homologous chromosomes line up the metaphase plate in their sets. Each chromosomes of a pair are then pulled to different poles of the cells separating them. Each of these chromosomes carries a set of alleles of a gene. Each cell/gamete, therefore, carried half the set of alleles of all genes compared to autosomal cells. There many combinations of these sets that can occur depending on the number of chromosomes the organism has.

These cells when combined with that of another parent during fertilization, form a zygote that grows and develops into a mature organism. The offspring will bear the characteristics of both parents because it inherits half a set of chromosomes from both parents.
