Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel in his law of INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT, independent assortment of genes is a phenomenon whereby the segregation of the alleles of one gene into gametes occurs independently of the alleles of another gene i.e. their segregation does not affect/influence one another. Independent assortment occurs in the Metaphase 1 of meiosis 1, where homologous chromosomes randomly align at the equator of the cell. This random orientation of homologous chromosomes determines which chromosome will separate into which gamete.

According to the question, the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is termed CROSSING-OVER. Crossing over or Recombination occurs during the Prophase I state of meiosis I, where non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange a portion of their gene.

Hence, the answer is false because the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is crossing-over.

AlexFokin [52]

Explanation:

The Ritcher scale is a logarithmic scale and it suggests that the number increases by a factor of 10.

One point on the scale differs from another by an order of 10.

The Ritcher scale is used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes in a particular area.
It is graduated form 1 to 10
The magnitude of the quake increases as one moves from 1 through 10.
This is because the magnitude of the quake actually increases by an order of 10.

Normal Gene:A T C AT A G G A A A AT AC

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Normal Gene: AUC AUA GGA AAA UAC

Mutated Gene: AUC ACA GGA AAU UAC

Explanation:

The transcription takes place in the nucleus. This process involve copying of DNA sequence into mRNA (messenger RNA) sequence. mRNA too consists of 4 nucleotides except the fact that in mRNA the thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U). This involves the following steps:

Unwinding of DNA
Binding of RNA polymerase to the unwinded DNA.
Synthesis of RNA commonly mRNA
RNA elongation
Stop codon (UAA, UAG, UGA) initiating termination of synthesis of RNA

¿Qué relación tiene el cáncer con el ciclo celular?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.
