Answer:

1. mushroom

2. nucleus

3. eukarya

4. animalia

5. button mushroom

Explanation:

1. Mushroom because everything else in the list is an animal, while a mushroom is a fungi.

2. Nucleus because eukaryotic and prokaryotic are types of formations of a cell, while a nucleus is part of a cell and not a cell formation.

3. Eukarya because the Eukarya include all animals, plants, fungi, and protists. These organisms are eukaryotes, meaning they have membrane-enclosed nuclei within their cells. The Bacteria and Archaea are both considered prokaryotes, because their cells lack true nuclei, meaning a membrane does not enclose their genetic material.

4. Animalia because fungi and plantae are stationary organisms, while animalia are mobile. (ex. fungi and plantae= roots and animalia= feet/ not attached to one place)

5. Button mushroom because sunflowers and oak trees are producers, while a button mushroom is a decomposer.

Why is the frequency of recombinant gametes always half the frequency of crossing over?
kvv77 [185]
Crossing over occurs at the four-strand stage when two homologous chromosomes, each consisting of a pair of sister chromatids, are paired. Each crossover involves just two of the four strands and generates two recombinant strands.

Hope this helps!
