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.

Kruka [31]

Researchers selected candidate genes by identifying homozygous tracts shared by all three siblings along with the parental phenotype, this type of study is applied for the inheritance of recessive genes. Since the recessive genes can not be expressed in heterozygous genotype, the back tracking of carriers and homozygous recessive individual will help understand its inheritance pattern. The inheritance of dyt2 can be autosomal recessive. It is usually passed on to progeny of two carriers.

When cells communicate by the signaling process, one cell produces a _________________BLANK that must be received by the _______
velikii [3]

Answer:

1. Signaling molecule

2. Signaling receptors

Explanation:

Hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, etc. serve the function of signaling molecules for cells. These molecules are released by one cell and bind to the receptors present on/in the target cells to elicit the desired response. Thereby, the signaling molecules serve in cell-cell communication.

For example, insulin hormone synthesized and released from beta cells of pancreas binds to its cell surface receptors present on the surfaces of liver cells and muscle cells to stimulate the uptake of the glucose from the blood.  

Likewise, neurotransmitters released from the presynaptic neuron bind to receptors present on the membrane of postsynaptic neuron and serve to carry the nerve impulse to the postsynaptic neuron.
