Independent assortment is the exchange of genetic material between

Biology
1 answer:
Kazeer [188]3 years ago
6 0

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.

In the citric acid cycle when an aldol addition occurs in a biological system, how do the amino acids contained in the Citrate S
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Citrate Synthase facilitates the formation of citrate by deprotonating Acetyl CoA and by protonating the carbonyl oxygen of oxaloacetate

Explanation:

Citrate synthase is a key enzyme in the citric acid cycle that functions to catalyze the formation of citrate from oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA: acetyl-CoA + oxaloacetate + H2O >> citrate + CoA-SH (Coenzyme A ). This enzyme contains three amino acids at its active site that work together to catalyze the conversion of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate into citrate. This active site acts by abstracting (deprotonating) a proton from the alpha carbon of Acetyl CoA which serves as the nucleophile. Subsequently, the active site of the enzyme also protonates the carbonyl oxygen of oxaloacetate, which then suffers nucleophilic attack and thereby facilitating nucleophilic substitution reaction.
