How is crossing over related to variation

1 answer:

5 0

Crossing over occurs in Prophase I of Meiosis I, which occurs between non-winter chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Crossing over results in chiasma being formed, between homologous regions of non-sister chromatids, and synapsis occurs. At Anaphase I, homologous chromosomes separate, and the chiama are broken apart. This results in the previous identical sister chromatids of each chromosome to become non-identical, as the sister chromatid that paired up with the sister chromatid of its homologous chromosomes has a different combination of alleles, which gives rise to different combination of characteristics. Thus, variation occurs in the offspring that attains the sister chromatid (later known as daughter chromosome after Anaphase II).

Hope this helps! :)

Removes carbon from air: photosynthesis by plants and algae
Release of carbon into atmosphere: respiration (animals exhale CO2), factory emissions, eruption of volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, and breakdown of organic matter
Release of carbon into the soil: Shells of marine organisms form limestone, and some carbon from decomposing organisms is stored in the soil
*This isn’t every possible pathway but hopefully this will help get you started. I’m going to attach a picture of the carbon cycle (not mine) to help you visualize the process.

A muscle cramp is a sudden, painful contraction of a muscle, during which movement is difficult. What is happening at the cellul

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Muscle cramps are caused by the inability of myosin fibers to break free from the actin filaments during contraction, resulting in a prolonged contraction. A lack of ATP would obviously produce cramping, as myosin requires ATP to become free from actin.
