In a diploid individual, one chromosome carries A and B genes, and the homologous chromosome carries different forms (alleles) o

f these same genes, a and b. If there is a single crossover between these two genes involving non-sister chromatids during metaphase I of meiosis, the resulting four gametes are:
A. AB, AB, ab, ab.
B. AB, ab, AB, ab.
C. AaBb, AaBb, AaBb, AaBb.
D. AB, Ab, aB, ab.
E. Ab, Ab, aB, aB.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This involves a dihybrid inheritance I.e. two genes are being passed on. During meiosis, specifically, the Prophase stage, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) line side by side. According to the question, one chromosome contains A and B alleles and its homologue, received by the other parent carries a and b alleles. This means that the diploid individual has a genotype AaBb for that gene.

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles separate independently of one another into gametes. I.e. allele A and a separates into the gametes without affecting alleles B and b of the other gene.

Crossing-over, which is the exchange of chromosomal segment occurs between the two homologues. Hence, the exchange of chromosomal segments containing alleles in the individual will possibly produce four gametes with the genotypes: AB, Ab, aB, ab.

What makes an energy resource non-renewable? <br><br>Please explain well, will give brainliest.​
Morgarella [4.7K]
Hey!

What let us know what are non-renewable resources:

Resources which can’t be renewed again after usage , it takes millions of year to form them again
These include fossil fuels
If we go on using fossil fuels it will be empty and we will run out of it.

A energy resource like fossil fuels is an non renewable! But why? Because rate of consumption is more than the rate of formation !

To sustain them , we must adapt to using of Renewable resources like Wind energy, hydro , wind etc .

I hope it’s clear!
Have a good day :)

What is a front?<br><br> -Air Masses and Fronts 9th grade science- <br> HELP ASAP
frez [133]

A air front is typically a transition zone between two unique temperature/humidity. Usually, one front would push the other away (typically if summer is hot, then the warm front will push away the cold, and for the winter, if it's cold, it's the opposite).

A stationary front, on the other hand, is when there is no change in the over all temperature for the region(s), and a occluded front is when the fronts mix, where it is followed by rain and a equillibrium of the temperature, whether to a warmer or cooler overall temperature.

Which of these sentences describe sources and preservation of genetic variation? Select all that apply.
madam [21]

The correct sentences are the following:

 A) Antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations is caused by natural selection of bacteria that inherit mutations that make them resistant to the antibiotics.

 C) Crossing-over causes a shuffling of allele combinations during meiosis as the alleles from each parent form new combinations on homologous chromosomes.

 E) When two bacteria are linked during conjugation, the donor cell passes DNA to the recipient cell which causes genetic recombination.

Explanation:

These three options are associated with the generation and preservation of genetic diversity
