Why is crossing over an essential step in meiosis

Biology
1 answer:
marshall27 [118]3 years ago
7 0

Crossing over is essential for the normal segregation of chromosomes during meiosis. Crossing over also accounts for genetic variation, because due to the swapping of genetic material during crossing over, the chromatids held together by the centromere are no longer identical.

calculate the mass defect for oxygen-16 given this data: mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.994914 amu mass of a proton: 1.00728 amu
o-na [289]
The answer is <span>0.132606 amu.</span>

The mass defect (Δm) is the total mass of protons and neutrons minus the mass of the atom. 
<span>mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.994914 amu
mass of a proton: 1.00728 amu
mass of a neutron: 1.00866 amu
</span>
An oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. Therefore:
Δm = 8 · 1.00728 + 8 · 1.00866 - <span>15.994914 = 8.05824 + 8.06928 - 15.994914 = 0.132606 amu
</span>

A biologist studying alpine wildflowers notices that two populations of similar species are able to occupy the same niches. Howe
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Option A, Competition has restricted the ranges of both species

Explanation:

When two species which depend on the exactly same kind of resources, get into a mode where they prefer to stay in two different ecosystems without interfering each other’s circle and thus they get excluded from each other due to competition. This phenomenon of the ecosystem is called Competitive exclusion

According to Gause's Law of competitive exclusion two species which are competing for similar kind of resources are unable to stay together.  

Hence, option A is the correct choice.
