The answer is B , because crossing over occurs between linked genes meaning genes on the same chromosome and the further they are the more like recombination frequency occurs/ crossing over

Suppose you discovered a mutant yeast whose glycolytic pathway was shorter because of the presence of a new enzyme catalyzing th
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is  the formation of pyruvate from glucose willl be energetically less favorable.

Explanation:

According to the question matunt yeast has a shorter glycolytic pathay catalysing a follwing reaction

 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate+H2O+NAD+  = 3-phosphoglycerate

So in the mutatant the formation of 1,3- bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is directly converted into 3-phosphoglycerate.

    As a result the substrate level phosphorylation step that deals with formation of 3-phosphoglycerate from 1,3  bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.

  From this point of view it can be said that less energy will be formed in the mutant during glycolysis than that of normal one.

 So the formation of pyruvate from glucose will be energetically less favorable.

how does the earth evlove around the sun while the moon evlolves around the earth with out those two planets colliding
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

This is a rather complicated thing to explain so I'll try my best. To put it in simple term the sun has whats called a SOI (sphere of infleunce) and anything inside of this is effected by the gravity of that planet or sun in this case. The earth is inside of this sphere of influence. The earth has a constant velocity that is making it move away from the sun but since it's in the suns SOI the path in which the earth moves is changed in a way that causes it to spin around the sun. The same thing is happening with the moon. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think the reason the moon does not just fly away towards the sun is because it is closer to earth and is more effected by earths SOI. Hope this cleared things up for you.

How many chromosomes does a body cell for the organism (egg and sperm) have?
DiKsa [7]
Growth and repair
creation of gametes (sex cells)
method of reproduction in unicellular organisms
Binary Fission - type of reproduction that occurs in bacterial cells, single celled organism splits and becomes two identical organisms

Chromosomes and DNA

Chromosomes are DNA wrapped around proteins to form an X-shaped structure.



The diagram will help you see the relationship.

1. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus
2. Chromosomes are made of DNA
3. Sections of chromosomes are called genes



DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid (it is the genetic code that contains all the information needed to build and maintain an organism)





Chromosome Structure







Chromosome Numbers

Each organism has a distinct number of chromosomes, in humans, every cell contains 46 chromosomes. Other organisms have different numbers, for instance, a dog has 78 chromosomes per cell.

Somatic Cells - body cells, such as muscle, skin, blood ...etc. These cells contain a complete set of chromosomes (46 in humans) and are called DIPLOID.

Sex Cells - also known as gametes. These cells contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells and are called HAPLOID

Chromosomes come in pairs, called Homologous Pairs (or homologs). Imagine homologs as a matching set, but they are not exacly alike, like a pair of shoes.

Diploid cells have 23 homologous pairs = total of 46

Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes (that are not paired) = total of 23

Homologous Chromosomes



Sex Determination

Chromosomes determine the sex of an offspring. In humans, a pair of chromosomes called SEX CHROMOSOMES determine the sex.

If you have XX sex chromosomes - you are female

If you have XY sex chromosomes - you are male

During fertilization, sperm cells will either contain an X or a Y chromosome (in addition to 22 other chromosomes - total of 23). If a sperm containing an X chromosome fertilizes an egg, the offspring will be female. If a sperm cell containing a Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, the offspring will be male.

Creation of a Zygote

When two sex cells, or gametes come together, the resulting fertilized egg is called a ZYGOTE

Zygotes are diploid and have the total 46 chromosomes (in humans)

Karyotype

A karyotype is a picture of a person's (or fetus) chromosomes. A karyotype is often done to determine if the offspring has the correct number of chromosomes. An incorrect number of chromosomes indicates that the child will have a condition, like Down Syndrome

Compare the Karyotypes below













Notice that a person with Down Syndrome has an extra chromosome #21. Instead of a pair, this person has 3 chromosomes - a condition called TRISOMY (tri = three)

Trisomy results when chromosomes fail to separate - NONDISJUNCTION - when sex cells are created. The resulting egg or sperm has 24 instead of the normal 23.

Other conditions result from having the wrong number of chromosomes:

Klinefelters Syndrome - XXY (sex chromosomes)

Edward Syndrome - Trisomy of chromosome #13
