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.

stira [4]

Answer:

What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion? Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through the cell. Diffusion is the movement of molecules, such as oxygen, in and out of a cell. The process by which water molecules are able to diffuse through the cell membrane.

What marks the boundary between the mesozoic and the cenozoic (called the k-p boundary)? g?
olga55 [171]
The extermination of the dinosaurs, the start of a rise to dominance of mammals and a meteorite effect in mexico marks the boundary among the mesozoic and the cenozoic or as named as the k-p boundary. In addition, the cretaceous paleogene (K–Pg) boundary which is previously recognized as the cretaceous tertiary (K–T) boundary is a geological signature typically a thin band of rock.
