Answer: Homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. And they exchange segments of DNA during crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gamete cells, which are sex cells (egg and sperm)

Chromosomes that form a pair and are found together are called homologous chromosomes, and they are inherited from each parent. During prophase of meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA in a process called crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged. <u>It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.</u>

After that, during the anaphase of meiosis I, the two chromosomes line up on the equatorial plane of the cell. Then, they are separated and each will go to a new daughter cell. So homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, <u>this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other.</u>

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer would be:

                  A         G          C         T

Human:   31          19          19       31

Cow:         28         22      22         28

Salmon:     29       21       21         29

Wheat        27      23        23        27

Yeast         31         19       19         31

Explanation:

According to the rule of Chargaff which states or explains the amount of the A, T, G, and C bases in the DNA molecule. It says that the DNA of any organism should have a pyrimidine and purine ratio of 1:1. This means the amount of A would be equal to T and the amount G should be equal to the amount of C.

It also says that the amount of a and G would be equal to the amount of C and T. So on the base of this we can find the missing value in the table:

                    A         G          C         T

Human:   31          19          19       31   (A= T and G=C)

Cow:         28         22      22         28  (A= T and G=C)

Salmon:     29       21       21         29   (A= T and G=C)

Wheat        27      23        23        27 (100 - A+T = G+C)

Yeast         31         19       19         31 (A= T and G=C)
