Chiasma form during meiosis I but not during mitosis. a. True b. False

Biology
1 answer:
Goryan [66]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Chiasma is the site of crossing over. It is an X-shaped site that appears in a tetrad (bivalent) chromosome during the diplotene stage of prophase I of meiosis I. Crossing over refers to the exchange of segments of chromatids and occurs between homologous chromosomes only. Crossing over is the event of prophase I of meiosis I and produce new gene combinations.

The homologous chromosomes are separated from each other but remain attached at chiasmata. The dissolution of chiasmata occurs by the end of prophase I and separates the homologous chromosomes completely from each other. Crossing over does not occur in mitosis. Since mitosis does not include crossing over, chiasmata are also not formed in mitosis.

Two ways in xylem is modified to carry out its function
Bess [88]
1. The cell wall has lignin (hard substance): to prevent the xylem vessel from collapsing and withstand high pressure.
2. The absence of protoplasm (nucleus + cytoplasm) and cross wall: to allow water to move through the lumen easily.

Hope it helped!

Refer to the Biochemistry in Focus section of your text for this chapter to answer this question. Sarin inhibits acetylcholinest
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

c. Pyridostigmine binds to the acetylcholinesterase active site and prevents sarin from binding to and modifying the enzyme active site.

Explanation:

Sarin is a toxic compound which inhibits acetylcholinesterase enzyme. This enzyme degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine after the required muscle cell stimulation. In absence of its activity, acetylcholine is not degraded and the muscle cells are stimulated uncontrollably. The muscles are not able to relax which ultimately proves fatal for the victim.

Pyridostigmine is also an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor like Sarin. However its period of inhibition is short compared to organophosphorus inhibitors like sarin. It competes with sarin and replaces it in the active site of acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme is still inhibited but for a shorter time as compared to inhibition by Sarin. Hence after sometime, it becomes functional again and resumes its normal activity. Acetycholine starts getting degraded relaxing the muscles.
