Explanation:

During the process of prophase I, the nuclear envelope containing chromosomes has only partly broken down homologous chromosomes are joined together by proteins and a complex or pairing call synapsis- corresponding genes on sister chromatids are aligned precisely.

The syanapsis allows for crossing over which is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. In meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved to 23 chromosomes (haploid number)through meiotic divisions, producing 4 haploid (n) germ cells or gametes (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

In Meiosis I

homologs pair off into bivalents
At crossing over: the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined in prophase I forming bivalents; tetrads are formed.
Spindle fibers from centrioles join sister chromatids together at their centromeres in metaphase I, pulling them to the equator of the cell;
then, in anaphase I, while joined, they are pulled to opposite sides of the cell; the cell body splits and the nuclear envelope reforms in telophase I

In Meiosis II...

Later, in prophase II, the nuclear envelope disintegrates and mitotic spindle fibers are formed
independent assortment occurs. in metaphase II of meiosis: spindle fibers attach to centromeres, chromatids align independently at the equator. Genes segregate independently into new combinations as sister chromatids are pulled apart by their centromeres in anaphase II
in telophase II the cells' nuclei and membrane are then formed with each containing the haploid number (n)
Following the formation of gametes in the last stage, randomized fertilization occurs in sexual reproduction sperm cells fertilize an ovum to form a zygote. This occurs randomly by chance, to result in a complete set of chromosomes 2n, that is a novel combination of half each parent's number of chromosomes

A bird flies by moving its wings up and down. Which two systems are most directly responsible for the movement of a bird's wings

aleksklad [387]

A. Skeletal and muscular
the other three don’t have to do with this type of internal movement though as the abdominal region and internal organs don’t have to do with this, A is the only possible answer

Drag the labels to their appropriate locations on the concept map below to explore the links between antibiotic resistance, bina

Nataliya [291]

The correct sequence is:
a) Antibiotics: These antimicrobial drugs used to treat and prevent bacterial infections.

b) Antibiotic resistance: This sort of resistance occurs when bacteria are fully developed into the body and are able to defeat the drugs which designed to kill them. When certain bacteria become resistant, the antibiotics are unable to fight them, and hence they increase and affect the body.

c) Binary fission: Binary fission is a sort of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. It is found in unicellular eukaryotes like Amoeba and Paramecium.
d) Conjugation: It is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by the direct or bridge-like connection between cells.

e) Mutations: is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence resulting in a gene, such that the sequence differs from the sequence found in human beings.

f) DNA replication: is the biological process that occurs in all living organisms to produce two identical replicas of DNA from a DNA molecule.

g) Genetic recombination: During this process, offspring are produced with the combinations of traits that are different from the traits found in either parent.

h) Genetic variation: It’s the variation in the DNA sequence in each of human genomes, making every human being unique in terms of hair color, skin color or the shape of their faces.<span>

What is the principal component of the thickest layer of the skin?

jek_recluse [69]

1. The correct answer is option A

The thickest layer is Dermis which is made up of two layers papillary and reticular. The reticular dermis is the lower layer of the dermis and is made up of dense irregular connective tissue featuring collagen fibers.

2. The correct answer is option E

Bone is composed of fibrous and mineralized connective tissues which is enriched in collagen and calcium phosphate.

3. The correct answer is option C

Muscles are composed of two major protein filaments: a thick filament composed of the protein myosin and a thin filament composed of the protein actin. These two filaments slide over each other to repetitively contract the muscles.
