Pairing of homologous chromosomes in prophase of meiosis I appears to be critical for proper alignment, crossing over, and subse

quent separation. This pairing is facilitated by the sharing of sequence homology between homologous chromosomes. If X and Y chromosomes are so different, how can they achieve the necessary pairing?
A. They share short homologies at their respective tips.
B. They do not pair because they are not homologous.
C. They are only different in size, most of the DNA sequences match.
D. A special function of the spindle apparatus forces X and Y chromosomes together.

Answer:

A) They share short homologies at their respective tips

Explanation:

The cells of human contain two types of chromosomes that is autosomal and sex chromosomes.

The 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes in humans are formed by the pairing of these chromosomes during the meiotic phase via the formation of a structure called synaptonemal complex between homologous sequences.

However, the two types of sex chromosomes called X and Y are not similar in their length but they pair via the formation of synapse which involves very short homologous sequences called "pseudoautosomal regions". The formation of the synapse through this region is called the X-Y body.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

In a population of tree frogs, the allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y). I
Alex787 [66]

Allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y)

Y = 85% = 0.85 and

y = 100% - 85% = 15% = 0.15

f(y) = square root of y = √y = √0.15 = 0.387

frequency of the allele that causes orange eyes = 0.387

Once we know the value of y, Y + y = 1

Putting the value of y, we get

Y = 1 – 0.387

<span>Frequency of the dominant allele that causes yellow eyes = 0.61</span>

Plz help oh and one of the questions is what percent of energy does an individual get from the individual it eats
liraira [26]

1. An example of secondary consumer is snake. Secondary consumers are the ones who eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivore.

2. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and (some other organisms) that converts water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with the presence of sun energy (collected in the chloroplasts) into chemical energy that is later stored in sugars (carbohydrates). Organisms that do the photosynthesis are called autotrophs (produce food by themselves).

3. The energy pyramid represents energy flow in a community, where the different levels represent different groups of organisms.  

The food chain is a circulation of energy that comes from the sun and passes from the producer organisms to the primary consumer, secondary and tertiary consumer organisms.  

4. For example, plant is producer that is eaten by primary consumer-herbivore (e.g. bugs). Than secondary consumer-carnivore (e.g. snake) eat that herbivore and than is being eaten by tertiary consumer (apex predator that have no natural predator).  

5. One trophic level gets only 10% of the energy of the previous level. So, if the plant have 10.000 units of energy and is eaten by rabbit, rabbit gets 1000 units of energy, and when the fox eats an rabbit, it gets 100 units of energy.  

6. Trophic level is the position of an organism in the food chain.
