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.

As a molecule moves through the plasma membrane it passes through a hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails then a hydrophilic l
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

"As a molecule moves through the plasma membrane it passes through <em>a hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads then a hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails and then another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads".</em>

Explanation:

Biological membranes are formed by two lipidic layers, proteins, and glucans.

Lipids characterize for being amphipathic molecules, which means that they have both a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion at the same time. These molecules have a lipidic head that corresponds to a negatively charged phosphate group, which is the polar and hydrophilic portion. They also have two lipidic tails that correspond to the hydrocarbon chains -the apolar and hydrophobic portion- of the fatty acids that esterify glycerol.

Membrane lipids are arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, while their hydrophobic tails are against each other, constituting the internal part of the membrane.

Through this lipidic bilayer, some molecules can move from one side of the cell to the other, which happens because of concentration differences. When this occurs, molecules must pass through the hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads then through the hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails and then again through another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads.

Darwin was very interested in the observation that animals on distant and isolated landmasses appeared to be related to animals
AVprozaik [17]

Answer: Option B.

Biogeographical

Explanation:

Biogeographical evidence is the evidence that provide information of organisms distribution over geographical areas. It provide information on how and when the organisms evolved and common descent.

How does a comparison of the embryos provide evidence of evolution?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Comparative embryology is one of the main lines of evidence in support of evolution. In comparative embryology, the anatomy of embryos from different species are compared through the embryos development. Similarities between different species indicate that we all came from a common ancestor.
