Answer:

Tetraploid wheat evolved by allopolyploidization and subsequent diploid-like behavior due to cytological diploidization

Explanation:

Durum wheat (<em>Triticum durum</em>) or pasta wheat, is a tetraploid wheat species that has 28 chromosomes, i.e., seven pairs in each genome (2n = 4x = 28). Durum wheat was domesticated from wild emmer wheat, which originated by hybridization of two diploid wheat species with 14 chromosomes: <em>Triticum monococcum</em> (genome AA) and one wild progenitor (genome BB). <em>Triticum durum </em>is a typical example of evolution by hybridization and polyploidization, where the resultant tetraploid species has two complete sets of chromosomes. Allopolyploidization is one of the most common types of plant speciation. During meiosis, 28 chromosomes form 14 homologous chromosome pairs, because homologous chromosomes have developed 'restriction of pairing' (i.e., cytological diploidization). The restriction of pairing to fully homologous chromosomes ensures a correct meiotic behavior, which otherwise would be altered due to the high level of homology that still exists among chromosomes from different wheat progenitors.

¿Qué acciones propondrías para ayudar a que la biosfera y que sus ciclos no se vean afectados? Ayuda plis
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Reducir las actividades humanas.

Explicación:

Reducir el uso de combustibles fósiles, el uso de vehículos que funcionen con electricidad y plantar más plantas y árboles son las acciones que propondría para ayudar a que la biosfera y sus ciclos no se vean afectados. La biosfera se ve muy afectada debido a las actividades humanas, por lo que para conservar la biosfera y mantener su ciclo, tenemos que reducir las actividades humanas que causan más daños a la biosfera.
