Compare and contrast properties of sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes.

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.

Explain how a crayfish is designed to be a bottom feeder.
vodka [1.7K]

Bottom feeders are aquatic animals that feed on the bottom of a body of a water. Crayfish is the bottom feeder. It is not active swimmer, it feed on stationary or slow pray, so it does not have such a streamlined body necessary to reduce drag during swimming. Its mouth is located on the underside of their heads and that way mouth is closer to the bottom where their food is.

"Generally describe the series of events via which pyruvate is further processed after glycolysis (assume that this is in the pr
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The product of glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate. It is a three-carbon compound. This pyruvate again undergoes oxidation in the cytoplasm. This process is called pyruvate oxidation which produces Acetyl CoA. The Acetyl CoA is a two-carbon molecule.

Acetyl CoA again used for the citric acid cycle. This is also called as Kreb's cycle / TCA cycle. Because citric acid has 3 carboxylic groups. The acetyl coenzyme produces NADH, FADH2, ATP. The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial membrane. This is an 8 step process. The first product is citric acid. The other products of each step are isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, Fumarate, L - malate, and Oxaloacetate (OAA).

Another process of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain ( ETS). Here the energy stored in NADH, FADH2 in the citric acid cycle are utilized. It is a chain of electron carriers. ETS occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria.  

In short, the glucose splits by glycolysis and produces ATP, NADPH, and final product pyruvate. The pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetyle coenzyme. This is used in the TCA / citric acid cycle. In this process also NADH, FADH2 which forms electrons are produced. Theses electrons are carried by different electron carriers and accepted by oxygen.

In the process of pyruvate oxidation 6 ATP, and in Kreb's cycle 18 ATPs, in ETS, 4 ATPs are produced. In addition to this in glycolysis produces 4 ATPs. The total number of ATP in aerobic respiration is 32 ATP.
