How does crossing over in meiosis result in genetic variation?

Biology
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
8 0

Cross over is the first  way genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Cross over takes place in sexual  reproduction.  The normal way that cross over occurs is chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other.

If they break the pieces at the same locus in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called  genetic recombination and it ensures that the daughter cells produced  have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity occurs.

What are the features of Nuclear Receptor Screening Services?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The nuclear receptor superfamily comprises a large group of transcription factors that play a key regulatory role in development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. A special feature of nuclear receptors is their ability to bind to condensed chromatin templates, which makes them important initiators of gene transcription. Moreover, the ability of nuclear receptors to sequentially recruit a variety of transcription factors and coregulators to target promoters and to orchestrate the whole process of gene transcription confirms their biological significance and stimulates intensive research and a high level of scientific interest in this field. In this review, we summarise current knowledge regarding the structure and function of nuclear receptors as principal regulators of gene expression. Emphasis is given to the molecular mechanisms of nuclear receptor-mediated transcriptional activation and repression including recent progress made in this area.

I think the answer should be medulla oblongata or foramen magnum.

The major nerves that leave brain should form a thick cord in the brain stem that called medulla oblongata. Medulla oblongata will pass a big hole in the base of the skull that called foramen magnum. Depends on what part the question asked(bone or tissue), it probably between those two options.
