How does independent assortment during Metaphase 1 help produce diversity in gametes (eggs and sperm)?

Biology
1 answer:
Svetach [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a. There are different possible ways that homologous pairs might line up

c. Different alignments of homologous pairs will cause different combinations of alleles in gametes.

Explanation:

The law of independent assortment, proposed by Mendel, states that the alleles of one gene segregate into gametes independently of the alleles of another gene. This means that the segregation of one gene does not affect another. This law of independent assortment is evident during gamete formation in sexually-reproducing organisms know as meiosis. Specifically, in the Metaphase 1 stage of meiosis 1, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) lines up at the metaphase plate (cell equator).

The lining up of chromosomes in this stage occurs randomly making it possible for chromosomes to align in different possible ways. The way/manner the chromosomes align at the equator determines which chromosome combination gets separated into which gamete. The homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed at the cell's equator before segregates into gametes. This random orientation enables the alleles of each gene on a chromosome to combine in different random ways, hence, allowing genetic diversity in the resulting gametes (sperm and egg) they get segregated into.

Based on the function of dna polymerase explain why each part of the name dna polymerase makes sense?
Sauron [17]

The enzyme known as DNA polymerase is responsible for creating DNA from nucleotide monomers. The enzyme's functions are indicated by its name, DNA polymerase. The term "DNA" refers to the fact that it generates DNA utilising nucleotides. "Polymer" signifies that the enzyme is converting monomeric nucleotides into a polymer molecule. Lastly, "ase" refers to an enzyme.

<h3>What role does DNA polymerase play ?</h3>

The primary role of DNA polymerases is to preserve the genome and guarantee that the genetic code is reliably transmitted from one generation to the next.

  • The essential enzyme for replication in eukaryotes is DNA polymerase. Additional DNA polymerases are used for primer removal, repair, and proofreading.

Our bodies do not make starch, but we often eat plant foods which contain starch which we digest into _____________, the buildin
Orlov [11]
The correct answer is glucose. 

Glucose is the major carbohydrate that can be absorbed and used by humans for energy. In animals, glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and the muscle tissue in contrast to plants wherein they store glucose as amylose and amylopectin (also known as starch). In digestion of starch, it will start with the saliva where the enzyme salivary amylase will break it down to smaller molecules of starch and limit dextrins. These will be further broken down in the intestines using the pancreatic amylase forming di and trisaccharides. These di and trisaccharides will be metabolized by brush border enzyme to eventually produce glucose (and other monosaccharides that can be absorbed such as fructose and galactose).
