Answer:

New combinations of genes.

Explanation:

Crossing over may be defined as the process of the  exchange of the genetic material of the homologous chromosomes between non sister chromatids . The crossing over occurs in the prophase of the meiosis.

The some portion of genetic material exchanges randomly on the crossing over. This causes the generation of the new combination of genes in the organism. The linked chromosomes shows crossing over between them.

Why does dna contain thymine but rna contains uracil?
uysha [10]
<span>Thymine is harder to make, but more stable. DNA needs to keep information safe for a long time, so it makes sense to use thymine. But RNA is made and used quickly, and small mistakes don’t matter as much, so the easier to make uracil does the job.</span>

Adaptive immunity comprises two branches: humoral immunity and cellular immunity. What are the characteristics of each of the tw
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Adaptive or acquired immunity is that we acquire throughout our lives through vaccines (active), breast milk (passive) or injection of specific artificial or natural antibodies to a certain pathogen (passive).

The two great arms of this immunity are the humoral and the cellular.

The humoral refers to the cytokines and immunomodulatory molecules that are responsible for transmitting fundamental messages between defense cells in order to coordinate the destruction of the pathogen between them.

Instead, cellular immunity speaks about cell lineage such as b, t, tcd4 lymphocytes, natural killers, plasmacytes, etc.

It can be said that the humoral factor is the one that coordinates the pathways and the relationships between the cells of the acquired immunity, both are important because the two need each other for adaptive immunity to work.

Explanation:

Examples of the humoral factor: pro and anti inflammatory cytokines, interleukins, complement chain, antibodies, TNF alpha, beta, etc.

Examples of cellular factor: plasmacyst, b lymphocyte, t lymphocyte, NT lymphocyte
