Answer:

Crossing over increases the genetic variation  

Errors in crossover formation result in chromosomal rearrangements (duplications and deletions) and may also cause chromosome nondisjunction

Explanation:

Crossing over, also known as recombination, refers to the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Crossing over increases the genetic variation of the resulting gametes, allowing different genetic combinations to be passed from parents to offspring. Unequal crossing over is a type of error associated with chromosomal duplication and/or deletion events. Unequal crossing over occurs when homologous sequences are not paired precisely. Moreover, errors in crossing over may also cause chromosome nondisjunction, thereby leading to aneuploidies.

Which hormone stops acid secretion in the stomach?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

CCK

Explanation:

Cholecystokinin (CCK) acts by generating gallbladder contractions and relaxing the Oddi sphincter together with the action of secretin (another hormone secreted by the gut) that stimulates bile production and decreases acid secretion in the stomach.

When stomach acid is high, it stimulates the secretion of another hormone, secretin, which causes decreased gastrointestinal motility. This has the effect of stopping the transfer of stomach contents to the duodenum, preventing the stomach from emptying too quickly. Secretin in conjunction with CCK will also act on the stomach glands, inhibiting acid secretion.
