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.

5.A

Explanation:

1.There are some characteristics that are inherited from your parents, shape of blood cells is one of them. In sexual reproduction, offspring are formed when sperm of male combine with egg of female organism.Therefore, some characteristics comes from male organism and some from female organism. In sexual reproduction, diploid organism is formed because half of genes comes from male and half comes from female.

2.Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents

3.A monk, Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments in his monastery's garden. His experiments showed that the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and leading to the study of heredit

4.Mendel made sure to study 30,00 pea plants when he presented his data to the community. Another example is when Mendel painstakingly removed all of the immature anthers from the plant’s flowers before the cross.Mendel used seven pea plant traits in his experiments which include flower color (purple or white), flower position (axil or terminal), stem length (long or short), seed shape (round or wrinkled), seed color (yellow or green), pod shape (inflated or constricted), and pod color (yellow or green).

5.A pea plant could have a copy of the height gene that coded for "tall" and a copy of the same gene that coded for "short." But the tall allele is "dominant," meaning that a tall-short allele combination would result in a tall plant

Que energuia produce un huracán
koban [17]

Answer:

Cuando el agua de la superficie está caliente, la tormenta absorbe la energía térmica del agua, al igual que una pajita absorbe un líquido. Esto crea humedad en el aire. Si las condiciones del viento son adecuadas, la tormenta se convierte en huracán. Esta energía térmica es el combustible de la tormenta.

Tropical areas receive the most solar radiation because
Sloan [31]

Answer;

A. the Sun's rays are nearly perpendicular to Earth's surface.

Explanation;

-Tropical region receives more solar radiation not only because the Sun’s rays hit the region more directly, but also because they travel through less of the atmosphere to get there.

-Some radiation is absorbed as it travels through the atmosphere, so less energy is lost in tropical regions.
