Which of the statements best describes the process of crossing over during meiosis? Haploid daughter cells trade chromosomes in

pairs. Homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of DNA. Chromosomes trade genes with other nearby chromosomes at random. Pairs of homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.

Homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of DNA.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Crossing over is an event of Prophase 1 of meiosis 1. It occurs in the zygotene phase of prophase 1. Here the homologous chromosome pairs get very close together and gets packed within protein coat. The enzymes randomly cut the DNA segments from both chromosomes at same loci and exchange them with each other. This results in the exchange of genes between the two chromosomes. This is how the variation comes to place between offsprings of the same individuals. The crossing over results to form X shaped intersections between homologous pair of chromosomes which is called as chaismata. This phase occurs in pachytene phase and is visible in diplotene phase when the protein coat dissolves.

based on the number of ATP generated during the electron transport chain for every one glucose molecule, how many atp would be g
OleMash [197]

Answer:

If 10 glucose molecules are broken down, 320 ATP molecules will be generated during the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

In the electron transport chain, high energy electrons travel across a series of proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, releasing energy in the process.Hydrogen is pumped from the matrix into the intermembrane space, therefore an hydrogen ion gradient is formed across the inner membrane.These proton are then pumped back into the mitochondrial membrane where the synthesis of ATP from ATP synthase takes place.

In the electron transport chain, a total of 32 ATPs are generated per glucose molecule.

so if 10 glucose molecules are broken down:

1 glucose ⇒ 32 ATPs

10 glucose ⇒ 10*32

                       320 ATP molecules

In the F<span>1 </span>generation of a Mendelian cross,
only the dominant trait is visible.only the recessive trait is visible.neither the dominant nor recessive trait is visible.<span>both the dominant and recessive traits are visible.

-I believe the correct answer is "ONLY THE DOMINANT TRAIT IS VISIBLE" in F1 generation, it is when the two true breeds, both homo (same genes) cross for example, HH and hh, since H will always be present in a punnet square, the answer is ONLY THE DOMINANT TRAIT IS VISIBLE. key word VISIBLE, the dominant trait is H</span>
