Compare and contrast properties of sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes.

Biology

Answer:

Explanation:

Sister chromatids are regarded as replicated chromosomes. Sister chromatids are two identical copies of chromosomes held at the centromere that are formed as a result of replication. They are identical in the sense that they contain same alleles/gene sequence of the same genes.

Homologous chromosomes, on the other hand, are similar (in length, centromere position) but non-identical chromosomes. Homologous are non-identical in the sense that they may contain different alleles of a gene and are received from each parent. homologous chromosome contain four chromatids; two of which are sister chromatids and non-sister to the other two.

Both undergo meiosis where homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis I while sister chromatids separate in meiosis II but only sister chromatids undergo mitosis.

Answer:

Homologous chromosomes

Basically at fertilization, sperm and oocyte from the mother provided each chromosome ,The pair of chromosome that emerged from the diploid cell formed is called homologous chromosomes. They contain exactly alike in structure, with the same genes and the same gene loci on the chromosomes..But   the allele of the genes may not be the same and their  DNA sequence are  different.

At metaphase of meiosis I they formed a bivalent, at Synapsis. Crossing over of genetic materials takes place at the point chiasmata, and this results in genetic variation. Homologous chromosomes  are pulled apart at Anaphase 1 of meiosis and into  chromatids   at   Anaphase   II.

Sister Chromatids

These are the products of  a single chromosome replication during   S-phase of interphase.  That  is  one half  of  each copy of the chromosome replicated. They contain the same genetic composition and same  sequence of DNA;and are joined together at common centromere,

They are separated from each other at Centromere ( unlike in homologous chromosomes at synapsis,) in  metaphase  of  mitosis. But the separation takes place at   Anaphase ii of second meiotic division  in meiosis.

When they paired together they form dyad, unlike bivalent  formed by Homologous chromosomes.

What food chain is represented in the above food web?
fenix001 [56]
<span>B- tree > insect > frog> snake> hawk

The food chains are represented by organisms interconnected by red arrows that point in the direction of the one that's eating. So, the relation that is explicit by the arrow is that the organism from where the arrow departs is eaten by the organism where the arrow is pointing towards to. So, the food chain that can be observed accurately in the food web is: the tree is eaten by the insect, the insect is eaten by the frog, the frog is eaten by the snake, and the snake is eaten by the hawk.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

Microtubules composed of tubulin protein.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is composed of three well defined filamentous structures: microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments. Each of these filamentous structures is a polymer of proteinic subunits united by weak, not covalent connections.

Microtubules are long hollo cylindric tubes with no ramifications of a diametre near to 25 nanometers. They are constituted by two subunits of tubulin protein which polymerize to form microtubules. These filaments shape the cell and are involved in intracellular transport.  Microtubules extend from an organizing center near the nucleus to the cellular surface.

grandymaker [24]

Answer: Option C."hypernatremia"

Explanation:

Hypernatremia is defined as the a electrolyte problem in which sodium concentration rises to a value more than 145 mmol/L in serum.

The major symptoms of hypernatremia involves thirst, muscle twitching or spasms, and confusion.

Hypernatremia  is a hyperosmolar condition caused by a decrease in total body water (TBW) against electrolyte content and several causes of hypernatremia includes intake of hypertonic fluid, salt poisoning in children, and inadequate intake of free water associated with total body sodium depletion et cetera.

Hence, the correct option is C.
