Crossing over<span> occurs </span>between<span> prophase 1 and metaphase 1 and is the process where </span>homologous chromosomes<span> pair up with each other and </span>exchange<span> different segments of their genetic material to form recombinant </span>chromosomes<span>. It can also happen </span>during<span> mitotic division, which may </span>result<span> in loss of heterozygosity. </span>

Gorter and grendel extracted lipids from human red blood cells. they calculated the total surface area for these red blood cells
Anastaziya [24]
<span>The calculated to surface area for red blood cells by Gorter and Grendel found to be 36u2.

 The surface area that would be covered once they spread across the surface of the water is 72u2.

If they spread across the surface area will double. This is because the lipid bilayer with phospholipid the head faces the water on each surface of the membrane.
 It clearly shows that there must be more to membranes than lipid bilayer because membranes grew and the surface tension of membranes is much lower than those of pure lipid structures.</span>

<span>1. One common interaction between biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem is photosynthesis. Sunlight is abiotic (solely energy), and it fuels the synthesis of sugars and proteins inside plant cells once it is taken up by plant leaves. </span><span>This process also produces oxygen.

<span>Number and kinds of predators in the ecosystem.

Predator-prey relationships
When the moose population is high on Isle Royale, the wolves have more food source from preying on the moose. This supports an increase in the wolf population.</span>

What holds non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes together in prophase i of meiosis?
inysia [295]

The correct answer is: The synaptonemal complex.

Non-sister chromatids are chromatids from two homologous chromosomes. In prophase I of meiosis two homologous chromosomes pair and this pairing is called synapsis. This allows possible crossing over to occur. Two non-sister chromatids are connected in synapsis by a protein-RNA complex called the synaptonemal complex.

Crossing-over or the physical exchange of chromosome parts might occur and bring to genetic recombination. The sites of crossing-over between nonsister chromatids and are called chiasmata.
