Answer:

Prophase 1

Explanation:

Prophase I :It can be divided into five stages:

1)Leplotene: In this stage, chromosome becomes visible and shorten as a single structure.

2)Zygotene: Homologous / sister chromosome pair up. This process is known as synapse. Synapse is the process of attachment of homologous /sister chromosome. One pair comes from the male parent while the other comes from the female parent.

3)Pachytene: Bivalents shorten.

4)Diplotene:Point of attachment of non-sister chromatids. The two chromosomes are seen to be joined at several points along their length. These points are known as Chiasmata.(Chiasmata, a cross). The paternal gene A, B, C may swap for the maternal gene a, b, c for instance, leading to a new gene combination in the resulting chromatids. This is referred to as *CROSSING OVER*.

5)Diakenesis: Homologous centromere move apart.

So, crossing over occurs in *Prophase 1.

Members of which phylum establish a successful symbiotic relationship with the roots of trees?

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is Glomeromycota

Explanation:

Arbuscular mycorrhizae are characterized by the formation of unique structures, arbuscles, coils and vesicles of fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota. They are a type of endomicorrhiza in which the fungus penetrates the cortical cells of the roots of a vascular plant.

In this symbiotic association, the fungus helps the plant to capture nutrients such as phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen and soil micronutrients. It is believed that the development of symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizae played a crucial role in the initial colonization of the earth by plants and in the evolution of vascular plants.

This symbiosis is a highly evolved mutualistic relationship found between fungi and plants.

Which statements describe the inheritance of traits? Select three options.

liraira [26]

Answer:

The correct options are:

All traits are inherited.

Offspring inherit one allele for a gene from each parent.

An offspring with two identical alleles for a trait is homozygous.

Explanation:

In the biological world, a trait can be described as a genetic characteristic which makes up an organism. Every organism has a particular set of traits.

Traits are inherited from parents, however they can be influenced by the environment.

The alleles of a gene make up the genotype and the influencing phenotype. An organism acquires one allele for the gene pair from each parent.

When both the alleles of a gene pair are similar, the organism is said to be homozygous for the trait. If both the alleles of a gene pair are different, the organism is said to be heterozygous for the trait.
