How are Ali's segregated in sexually reproducing organisms

Biology
1 answer:
mash [69]2 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

  • During independent assortment in metaphase I of meiosis: chromosomes align independently and alleles (different forms of the same gene)on homologous chromosomes segregate into gametes
  • this occurs independently (either allele goes to a different gamete) to form new combinations of genes.                                                        

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells during cell division, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells. This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained.

In meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells or gametes (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

  • crossing over: the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.
  • independent assortment in metaphase I of meiosis: chromosomes align independently and alleles (different forms of the same gene) on homologous chromosomes segregate into gametes independently to form new combinations of genes.                                                                                                      ...in humans 2n, n = 23,  8 million combinations of chromosomes possible in gametes.

Which of the following is a food chain in the food web shown in the figure above?
wel

The food chain that is shown in the food web could be any of the following:

  • tree → deer → mountain lion
  • grass → rabbit → mountain lion
  • grass → rabbit → hawk
  • grass → grasshopper → frog → snake → fox
  • grass → grasshopper → snake → hawk
  • grass → grasshopper → snake → fox → mountain lion
  • tree → caterpillar → robin → fox → mountain lion
<h3 /><h3>FURTHER EXPLANATION</h3>

A food chain shows a unidirectional feeding relationship among organisms in an ecosystem. The organisms occupy a certain "place" in the food chain called trophic level. Food chains may have several trophic levels which always begin with the producers.

  • Producers are organisms which make their own food. Plants are examples of producers.
  • The organisms the directly feed on the plants are called the primary consumers. They are either herbivores or omnivores.
  • The organisms that feed on the primary consumers directly are called secondary consumers. Those that feed on the secondary consumers are called tertiary consumers and quaternary consumers feed on tertiary consumers. These are either omnivores or carnivores.
  • The apex predator is the animal at the top of the food chain. It is preys on the organisms in the lower trophic levels but nothing preys on it.

A food web, on the other hand, is a series of food chains showing the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem.

Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between the stolon and hyphae in fungi?a) Hyphae produce spores, and
Alja [10]
<span>The answer is B. The stolon are hyphae that run horizontally and join one sporangiophore (vertically oriented hyphae with sporangia at tips)  –with rhizoids as the ‘roots’ - with the other sporangiophore in the fungi population. They are analogous to rhizoids in eukaryotic runner plants.   The attached diagram visually demonstrates this <span>description.</span></span>
