The energy of the electrons in NADPH are not sufficient for anabolic reactions such as CO2 fixation. These processes also require biochemical energy in the form of ATP. The process of photosynthetic electron transfer also generates a gradient of protons (H+) across the photosynthetic membrane (Figure: Proton Gradient).
Answer:
The correct answers would be maintain chromosome number through generations and cause genetic variations by recombination.
In Meiosis a cell divides into four daughter cells all of which have half the number of chromosomes present in a parent cell.
It helps in the formation of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms.
These gametes (one from father and one from mother) fuse together to form a zygote. It re-established the chromosomal number as that of the parent.
In absence of meiosis, the chromosomal number would have doubled after each generation.
In addition, the meiosis also increases the genetic variation among the population with the help of crossing over which occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I.
During this event, genetic information is exchanged between the non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. It produces a new combinations of genes that are different from either parent.
Combination of alleles for two genes that are located far apart on the same chromosomes. In this figure, label the column that shows meiosis and the column that shows mitosis.
Answer:
Cyanobacteria are microscopic organisms found in all kinds of water. They are single-celled organisms and produce their own food from sunlight via photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria are important to evolution because they developed the oxygen atmosphere we live in by producing waste from cyanobacteria. Plants also evolved from Cyanobacteria.
