Answer:

Crossing Over. Crossing over, or recombination, is the exchange of chromosome segments between nonsister chromatids in meiosis. Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity.

As food is moved through the digestive tract the pancreas and small intestine release digestive enzymes according to signals bas
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

As the food moves through the gastrointestinal tract, and when it reaches the duodenum via the stomach, the food or the paste, that is, chyme becomes acidic because of the presence of acid in the stomach. When this acidic chyme moves towards the first section of the duodenum, it results in the discharging of cholecystokinin and secretin from the duodenal mucosa, which further instigates the pancreas to discharge alkaline pancreatic juice that comprises pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate ions.  

Now the bicarbonate ions will turn the chyme alkaline and is now known as chyle. It is made alkaline as the pancreatic enzyme needs alkaline pH to function on food. The intestinal juice is also secreted due to the discharging of similar hormones as mentioned above. However, the difference is that both the mechanical stimulus and nervous stimulus results in the discharging of intestinal juice, though it is not true for pancreatic juice.

Large amounts of oxygen gas first appeared in earth's atmosphere about ______ years ago. 500,000 3.5 million 10 million 2.7 bill
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

2.7 billion

Explanation:

This period is referred to as the Great Oxygenation Event. This period saw the evolution of photosynthetic organisms (cyanobacteria) that utilized carbon dioxide (that dominated the atmosphere then) and sunlight to manufacture their energy molecules-glucose. Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a byproduct that is evolved into the atmosphere. As these photosynthetic organisms proliferated on earth, the atmosphere composition changed to become partly dominated by oxygen (which is an oxidaton agent) with less and less carbon dioxide.

A cell has chloroplasts, numerous ribosomes, an endoplasmic reticulum, and a cell wall. What type of cell is this?
NeTakaya

Answer:

The cell with chloroplasts, abundant ribosomes, plus an endoplasmic reticulum, and a cell wall is of the plant cell type.

Explanation:

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells found in all plants, with specific characteristics given their ability to be autotrophic and use solar energy to synthesize their nutrients. The presence of many ribosomes and a developed endoplasmic reticulum is due to their high capacity for plant protein synthesis.

One characteristic that differentiates plant and animal cells is the presence of a cell wall, which surrounds the cell membrane, and chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are responsible for making the process of photosynthesis possible.

Habit destruction can result in loss of__
olga nikolaevna [1]

The given blank can be filled with the population.  

In the basic terms, when a habitat is destructed, then the animals, plants, and other species, which are thriving in a habitat exhibit a diminished carrying capacity. This further results in the decline of populations and thus extinction becomes more expected. Therefore, it can be stated that the greatest danger to organisms and biodiversity is the procedure of habitat loss.
