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.

Which statement describes one feature of Rutherford’s model of the atom? The atom is mostly empty space. The atom cannot be divi
Dovator [93]

Answer: The atom is mostly empty space.

Explanation:

Before to Rutherford, the accepted model for the atom was Thomson's model:

The atoms were a positive sphere, with electrons occupying space in it".

This was called the "plum pudding model".

Then came Ernest Rutherford, and he created a model where the atoms are mostly empty space (void) with a positive charged nucleus (really compressed in the center), and the electrons were orbiting around it.

Then the correct option is that the atom is mostly empty space.
