Answer:

The correct answer is "In prophase I, tetrads of homologous chromosomes form and crossing over occurs".

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division at which one parent cells produces two daughter cells with identical genomic content and with the same number of chromosomes as the parent. On the other hand, meiosis is a type of cell division at which four daughter cells are produced with half the number of chromosomes respect to the parent cell. The major difference between prophase I of meiosis and prophase of mitosis, is that in prophase I of meiosis, tetrads of homologous chromosomes form and crossing over occurs. The tetrads of chromosomes are the ones that later will make the genomic content of the four daughter cells, while the crossing over is what allows the genetic variations of the sexual cells.

enot [183]

Answer:

1- Presence of phenotypic variation

2- some phenotypic variation due to genetic variation

3- the given trait has an impact on fitness

Explanation:

The evolutionary theory by natural selection proposed by Darwin in his publication “On the origin of species” (1859) is based on a series of assumptions that enable to understand the amazing biodiversity on the Earth. First, individuals are not identical among them, i.e., there exists variation in the traits among the members of a given population, species, etc. Second, phenotypic variation leads to differential survival and reproduction of the organisms that are best fitted to the environment (i.e., competence among the members of the population). Finally, phenotypic traits are passed from generation to generation (i.e., phenotypic variation is inheritable), thereby favoring offspring from parents more adapted to the environment.

The answer to this question is histidine. Histidine is an α-amino acid involved in the biosynthesis of proteins. The structure of histidine includes an α-amino acid, a carboxylic acid group, and an imidazole side chain. Histidine was initially thought to be essential only for infants; however, it has since been found to be essential for adults too.

Endocrine glands secrete hornmones whereas

exocrine glands secrete enzymes....

here, Pituitary gland secrete stimulating and growth hormone and thyroid gland secrete thyroxine hormone whereas salivary gland produce enzyme called saliva

So,pituitary gland and thyroid gland are endocrine and salivary glands are exocrine...
