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.

What Happened to the Anchovy? - Part 2
Charra [1.4K]

Note about the question:

You will find the graph in the attached files.

Answer:

A) overfishing in previous years and warm waters with few nutrients

Explanation:

Under El Niño conditions, there is a tropical stream, which is usually weak, that acquires strength while the opposite streams debilitate. This event impedes warm water to go eastward, remaining in South America´s coasts, which produces unusual precipitations in Chile followed by floral bloom in Atacama desert and fewer precipitations events in Eastsouth Asia and North Australia. During and after the El Niño, occurs a fishery crisis because there is no upwelling on the coasts of South America, nutrients from the bottom do no ascend, and fish populations remain equal or decrease.    

Around 1970, there was e<u>xcessive overexploitation of fishes</u>. This overfishing probably led to a significant decrease in the anchovy population size, reducing the number of individuals in the reproductive stage, especially the females. The graph reflects that during the following years, there were also peaks in anchovy catch. The population did not have enough time to recover from the highest peak in 1970.

From 1982-1983 El Niño event was severe. No upwelling meant no nutrients to survive, and that the remaining anchovy population, previously affected by fishery, hardly made it that year. There was probably a fishery crisis, and hence, no animals were caught in 1984.
