What function does recombination by crossing-over have in genetic variation?

Biology
1 answer:
Katena32 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Crossing-over allows the genes that come from each parent to recombine before they are passed on to future generations because chromatids of homologous chromosomes mate and exchange sections of their DNA.

Explanation:

Chromosome crossing-over is the process by which chromatids of homologous chromosomes mate and exchange sections of their DNA during prophase I of meiosis, when pairs of homologous chromosomes, or of the same type, are aligned. The chromatids of the homologous chromosomes break off in the chiasmas and rejoin to allow recombination of the linked genes. So it occurs when regions at chromosome breaks mate and then reconnect to the other chromosome. <u>The result of this process is an exchange of genes, called genetic recombination</u>.

This allows the genes that come from each parent to recombine before they are passed on to future generations. Then, <u>it is an important source of genetic variability</u>, since it involves an exchange of segments between homologous chromosomes during the development of gametes. <u>This process allows that the descendants of an individual are genetically very different</u>, since it is very unlikely that an individual produces two equal gametes, because all of them have different segments of the homologous chromosomes.

What is the main prerequisite for clearance at the G2 checkpoint?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-accurate and complete DNA replication.

Explanation:

The cell cycle of a cell is controlled by the internal checkpoints where the cell cycle halts until the favourable conditions appear. These checkpoints are G1 checkpoint, G2 checkpoint and M checkpoint.

The G2 checkpoint asses that the DNA replication has been completed, all the chromosomes have been replicated and the replicated DNA is not damaged. The cell cycle stops if the replicated DNA is found damaged.

Thus, option-accurate and complete DNA is the correct answer.
