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 meiosis. If crossing over did not occur, which of the following statements about meiosis would be true? Select all that apply

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

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

2. There would be less genetic variation among gametes.

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

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

5. Independent assortment of chromosomes would not occur.

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

The answer is 2

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having half number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It is the cell division sexually-reproducing organisms undergo to produce gametes. Meiosis is the only cell division in which the process of CROSSING-OVER occurs.

Specifically in the Prophase stage of Meiosis I, equal chromosomal segments are exchanged between homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent). This process is called CROSSING-OVER or recombination. In this process, alleles on non-sister chromatids are exchanged in a way to bring about genetic variation in the resulting gametes i.e. gametes with different combinations of alleles.

If crossing-over does not occur, the gametes will contain the exact alleles that segregated from each parent, hence, genetic variation will be reduced.

11) In a typical energy pyramid about 10% of the available energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Consider an
crimeas [40]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In a typical energy pyramid the amount of energy that is being transferred is only 10% rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat.

The energy from the sun is converted in the form of chemical energy which is stored in the producers.

10 per cent of this energy is transferred to the next trophic level and rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat. This goes on, there is only a transfer of 10 % energy from the successive levels.

So, if the producers have 200 Kcal/m2/year energy the the primary consumers will have 10% of this energy which is equivalent to 20 Kcal/m2/year and then the secondary consumers will have 10 % of 20 Kcal/m2/year which is equivalent to 2 Kcal/m2/year.

Which statement correctly compares the transfer of genetic material during mitosis and meiosis?
Ne4ueva [31]
Mitosis and meiosis are simply cell division processes that occurs differently, they're characteristically divergent from each other according to their function and structure. Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells. Meiosis on the other hand is responsible for the cell division of the gametes, spermatogenesis (sperm cells) and oogenesis (egg cells), such haploid cells. i hope that this helps you out, have an amazing day
