How does crossing over during meiosis lead to genetic variation?

Biology

Crossing over happens in prophase I when the homologous chromosomes are sy naps ed. The two inner chromoatids exchanges sections with each other. This means that after the exchange the inner two chromatids have new combinations of alleles than their parents had. The two outer chromatids still have the parental combinations.So there are more kinds of chromatids ready to go into the gametes than there were before. This is an increase in variation.

Hey! i’ll give brainliest please help
frutty [35]

Answer:

2, only the moose with the largest feet

Explanation:

If the moose species developed larger feet, then the cause of it has to be for their survival. So the ecosystem they lived in had to make it so the larger feet were helpful. That crosses out 1 and 3. The problem said nothing about the moose having smaller feet so, the answer has to be 2.

I hope this helps :)

Operons are a(n) ____ sequence lying adjacent to the DNA being transcribed and are composed of a promoter located next to a(n) _
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d. regulatory; operator; regulatory  

Explanation:

In prokaryotes, the regulation of gene expression is done at the transcription level by operons. Examples are the lac operon and the trp operon.  To initiate transcription, RNA polymerase and a DNA segment are required for binding called a promoter.

DNA segments that are close to the promoter serve as binding sites for regulatory, activating or repressing proteins. They are called operons.

The Operon is a regulatory sequence close to prokaryotic DNA that lies between the structural genes and the promoter. It is responsible for controlling the transcription of structural genes. When the repressor, encoded by the regulatory gene, binds to the operator, the promoter is blocked which prevents transcription.

The Promoter is located next to an operator and is the site in the DNA molecule that binds to RNA polymerase (which is a regulatory protein) to initiate transcription.
