Biology

Answer:

b.It increases the likelihood that daughter cells contain different genetic material.

Explanation:

Morgan and Cattell for the first time used the term ‘crossing over’.  Crossing over takes place during prophase I of meiosis. During crossing over, chromosome segments of non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes get exchanged. As a result, the daughter cells acquire different genetic materials. Thus, it provides genetic variation by creating a new combination of genes or get recombination and produces hybrids.

In what way is, Chlorella, similar to a plant cell/ plant kingdom
vazorg [7]
Chlorella is a genus of about thirteen species of single-celled green algae belonging to the division Chlorophyta. The cells are spherical in shape, about 2 to 10 μm in diameter, and are without flagella. Their chloroplasts contain the green photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll-a and -b. In ideal conditions cells of Chlorella multiply rapidly, requiring only carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and a small amount of minerals to reproduce.

Art [367]

Answer:

The options have been placed in the comment section. The answer is C. Inheritance of genes from both parents

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is referred to as the FATHER OF GENETICS due to his immense contribution to the discovery of how traits are passed down or inherited from parents to offsprings. He found out that a unit of inheritance, which was later called GENE, was responsible for each individual trait of pea plants.

In his numerous experiments, Mendel discovered that the characteristics/traits of pea plants were determined by the contribution of both parents. Mendel hypothesized that each parent contributed 50% of this unit of inheritance via fertilization to the characteristics of an offspring. Hence, the inheritance of genes from both parents determines the characteristics of a pea plant.
