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.

Chambers A and B are placed next to each other, but are separated by a film similar to a cell membrane. Chamber A contains 80% c
vodomira [7]

Answer:

b. Some carbon dioxide will move from chamber A to chamber B.

Explanation:

The two chambers are separated from each other by a separator that exhibits the properties of the cell membrane. It means that the separator film is semi-permeable in nature. The concentration of CO2 in the chamber A is 80%. This is relatively higher than its concentration in chamber B (20%). The concentration gradient will drive the passive diffusion of some of the CO2 from chamber A to chamber B so that the concentration becomes equal in both the chambers.

What would it take to determine the climate has changed?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Sea level rise is another clue that tells us Earth's climate is getting warmer. But melting ice is not the only cause of rising sea levels. As the ocean gets warmer, the water actually expands! Scientists have observed that the sea level has risen 7 inches in the last 100 years.

Explanation:

Because the hotter it get the more water in the ocean the colder less water in the ocean or it could stay the same

julia-pushkina [17]
Genetically modified food are a very controversial issue. On the one hand, we can make a lot of food in a small area, which is great for our expanding population. At the same time, genetically modified foods are creating “super-weed” since we can modify foods to resist weed growth, there are new strains of weeds that are resistant. Also, some genetically modified foods can lack nutrients, and not to mention they do not have to be labeled. You could be eating a genetically modified food right now.
