What is the most significant role of homologous recombination in eukaryotes that is not found in prokaryotes? exchange of geneti

Biology

Luden [163]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is "exchange of genetic information between parental chromosomes".

Explanation:

Homologous recombination is a genetic recombination that occurs when two similar or identical molecules of DNA exchange some of its nucleotide sequences. This type of recombination is most widely used for DNA repair purposes, however this is not distinctive of eukaryotes as prokaryotes use it as well. Therefore the most significant an unique role of homologous recombination in eukaryotes is the exchange of genetic information between parental chromosomes. This particular function is known as chromosomal crossover and it is only found in eukaryotes.

Considering the drifting of continents, how do you explain the abundance of marsupials and the absence of native placental mamma
garri49 [273]

Answer:

this phenomenon is a natural consequence of evolutionary processes and continental drift  

Explanation:

Marsupials are mammals in which newborn offspring are carried in a pouch of the female (mother) body. On the other hand, placentals are mammals that complete embryo development in the mother's body, in the placenta. All the extant marsupials are endemic to Australia and the Americas. It has been shown that marsupials diverged (evolved) in South America, Australia and Antarctica when these landmasses were joined. In Australia, marsupials evolved to fit an ecological niche, which can be attributed to geographic isolation due to continental drift, while placental mammals are relatively recent and more scarce (mainly bats and rodents) within this region.

When a colloid such as gelatin forms, which molecule does the process of protein coagulation entrap?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Water

Explanation:

When a colloid such as a gelatin forms, water is entrapped by the process of protein coagulation.

Colloids can be describes as particles of solid having spherical diameter between 1 and 100 nm which are dispersed in the liquid medium. Coagulation can be described as a process in which particles aggregate and lead to the formation of flocs. Flocs can either settle in water or can easily be seperated from water.
