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.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Haploid organisms develop from unfertilized eggs. Diploid cells have 46 chromosomes in humans. Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes in humans. Diploid cells are important for the growth and development of organisms.

kakasveta [241]
“Lord Randall” is a Scottish ballad in the form of a narrative song. A narrative song is a song that depicts or tells a story. A ballad is unique for it directly tells a story and emphasizes climactic incidents. It strips away those details which are not important to the plot. The story of “Lord Randall” narrates about a man who has been poisoned by his lover. The story does not tell about the incident’s background nor is the audience aware why the man has been poisoned. The story just shows the man revealing that he has been poisoned, his statement of his last will and testament, and his curse on the lover who planned to kill him. The technique shown in this story is what we call the incremental repetition. The incremental repetition is usually observed in poetry of oral tradition wherein a line is repeated in a changed context or with minor changes in the repeated part.

Describe the typical principles used to identify topogenic sequences within proteins and how these can be used to develop comput
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: The peptide sequence that is essential for protein insertion, orientation in membrane and for travelling into particular organelle is called a topogenics.

Explanation: Integral membrane proteins are found in all cellular membranes and carry out many of the functions that are essential to life. The membrane-embedded domains of integral membrane proteins are structurally quite simple, allowing the use of various prediction methods and biochemical methods to obtain structural information about membrane proteins.
