Citrus2011 [14]4 years ago

<span>Chromosomes, especially homologous chromosomes exchange genetic materials through translocation of their parts in a process called crossing over. If the exchange between the chromosomes is balanced and  preserves the proper complement of genetic material,  then the chances of the probability of mutation are low. However, if this translocation is uneven and disrupts the regulation of genes (such as activate an oncogene or inhibit a tumor suppressor gene probably due to multiple fusions at a single locus) then the chances of cancer are high. </span>

How does sucrose move from source to sieve?
dybincka [34]

The sucrose move in source to sieve by active transport.

<h3>What is active transport?</h3>

Active transport is a type of transport in which the cell expends energy to move solutes against their concentration gradients. The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport. Active transport differs from passive transport in that the cell does not expend energy.

In this case, the sucrose moves from companion cells into source to sieve elements by active transport. This reduces the water potential of the source to sieve element  by osmosis, which increases the hydrostatic pressure.
