Assume that an organism exists in which crossing over does not occur, but that all other processes associated with meiosis occur

normally. Consider how the absence of crossing over would affect the outcome of meiosis.
Which of the following statements about meiosis would be true if crossing over did not occur? Select all that apply!

a.The daughter cells of meiosis I would be diploid, but the daughter cells of meiosis II would be haploid.
b.The two sister chromatids of each replicated chromosome would no longer be identical.
c.The four daughter cells produced in meiosis II would all be different.
d.The two daughter cells produced in meiosis I would be identical.
e.There would be less genetic variation among gametes.
f.Independent assortment of chromosomes would not occur.

Answer:

Option (e).

Explanation:

Meiosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells. The chromosome number reduces to half in meiosis.

Crossing over is the process of exchange of genetic material between the homologous chromosomes of the non-sister chromatids. Crossing over will bring variation in the gametes. Hence, the absence of crossing over results in the formation of gametes with less genetic variation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).

A proton gradient is an important part of both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

A proton gradient is an important part of both photosynthesis and cellular respiration because couple the favorable flow of H+ to transport specific metabolites into and out of organelles.

<h3>What is the proton gradient?</h3>

The gradient is sometimes called the proton-motive and can be thought of as a form of energy, force and force in a battery. Like other ions, protons are not able to cross directly through the phospholipid bilayer of the membrane, as the interior of the membrane is hydrophobic.

The proton gradient generated by this manipulation provided a driving force for ATP synthesis in the absence of light. This confirms the chemiosmotic theory, where a chemical potential across the membrane can provide energy for ATP synthesis.

The proton gradient produced by pumping protons during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP.

Explain the phases of the moon. what are the periods of rotation and revolution?
cluponka [151]

The Moon is the natural satellite of Earth. Its revolution lasts 27.322 days, while its rotation around its axis lasts 27 days. From the Earth's perspective, the Moon seems to have different phases, where it appears as fully lighted, partially lighted, or totally dark. What the Moon appears to be from the Earth depends on how the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned in relation to each other. If the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, the Moon is full, with the reason being that the Sun is lighting up the side that is facing the Earth. If the Moon is between the Earth and Sun, then the Moon can not be seen, it is totally dark, and that is because the side that is facing the Earth is not lighted by the Sun at all. If the Moon is positioned sideways, not being in a straight line with the Earth and Sun, then it appears to be partially lighted, and that is the side that can be seen from Earth that is lighted by the Sun.
