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.

Explain the basic parts of a major theme molecular biology: the pathway of DNA to RNA to Proteins. Inculed a grneral idea of wha
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

1st step: Transcription DNA is unraveled and used as a template to form complimentary mRNA mRNA then leaves nucleus in order to attach to ribosome and start 2nd step. 2nd step: Translation tRNA with aminoacids attached will try to join mRNA\ribosome complex if tRNA triple codon matches the mRNA code it will attach aminoacid to start forming protein. This process continues until mRNA reaches STOP code, resulting in a long chain of aminoacids. 3rd step: Protein folding and modification Usually performed by chaperonins and eventually golgi complex. Chaperonins assist in proper protein folding, while golgi apparatus performs final modifications.

There are two main types of cell division—mitosis and meiosis. Which of the following is a true statement about the end products
Andrei [34K]
Mitosis happens in all types of cells. in this division, the cell will double it's number of chromosomes and then will be divided into two separated cells. so the number of chromosomes in product is equal to the number of chromosomes of the first cell



but meiosis only happens to produce gametes. the cell will be divided into two separated gametes.
in this division the number of chromosomes won't be doubled. so gametes have the half number of a normal person chromosomes.




good luck
