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 spring was at its resting position where it is attached to a wall at its left side and a block at its right side as shown belo
gladu [14]

Answer:

The force of spring will be "3.75 N". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Spring constant, K = 75.0 N/m

x₁ = 0.200 m

x₂ = 0.150 m

So that,

⇒ x=x_{1}-x_{2}

⇒    =0.200-0.15

⇒    =0.05 \ m

Now,

Force of spring will be:

⇒  F=K\times x

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒      =75\times 0.05

⇒      =3.75 \ N

What is the purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in the oxidation fermentation test? why is it necessary to use two co
Vitek1552 [10]

<u>Answer</u>:

1. The purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in the oxidation fermentation test is to serve as basis of the medium for the color comparison and that it is sterile.

2. It is necessary to use two controls in order to illustrate the no color change (green color) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

3. The purpose of the experiment is to determine if the organisms utilize the carbohydrate and thus is fermentative. This will result in a color change from green to yellow.

Thus, the medium in one tube is sealed with a layer of paraffin to prevent diffusion of oxygen.  This tube will show that the medium is unaffected by the lack of oxygen.

The second tube will allow the diffusion of oxygen. This tube will show that the medium does not change color naturally in the presence of oxygen. Thus, the color changes will be caused only by the fermentation process of the organisms.
