The term ‘Crossing over’ was used by Morgan and Cattell. It is a process in which there is exchange of chromosome segments between non-sister chromatids of a homologous chromosomes. It occurs during pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis cell division.

Significance of crossing over:

  • Crossing over provides genetic variation in all sexually reproducing organisms.
  • It creates new combination of genes or genetic recombination and produces hybrids.

What is the most likely explanation for the results in the graph?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. The apple orchard releases toxic chemicals into the water of the  bay.

Explanation:

Option B is the correct answer. It is the most likely explanation for the results in the graph.

From the graph, we can see that the population of the fishes sharply dropped. Since the fertilizer is applied to the apple orchard and the orchard was planted beside the bay, during the rain it is possible that the water has washed some of the fertilizers into the bay. The chemicals used in making fertilizer are harmful and toxic.

This reveals that the toxic chemicals released from the apple orchard are responsible for the decline in the population of the fish.

2. Do not contain membrane-bound organelles

3. Have DNA located in cytoplasm

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are single-celled organisms which have the following characters:

1. They lack a true nucleus and hence, they do not have their genetic material enclosed in a nuclear membrane-bound nucleus, rather it is present in the cytoplasm.

2. They lack all the membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.

3. They are usually. very small in size and hence are microscopic.

Lake Mojave is an ancient lake that has dried up and no longer exists in the Mojave desert in California. Which environmental co
Goshia [24]

The correct answers are:

- Decrease in rainfall in the Mojave desert;

The decrease in rainfall can be devastating to a lake's waters and biodiversity. The decrease in rain usually causes bigger loss of water through evaporation than water coming in the lake, so over time it will dry out, or just small pieces of it will remain.

- Decrease in runoff that flows into Mojave Lake;

If the amount of water that comes into the lake decreases, it can be fatal to it, and in a very short period of time, since the lake will be losing more water than it gets in.

- Increase in blocked streams that flow into Mojave Lake;

Naturally, streams can be blocked and redirected, so if this happens, we have the same situation from before, where the water income is smaller than the water loss of the lake.
