Answer:

a network of proteins that holds homologues together.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

The synaptonemal complex is a network of proteins that holds homologues (homologous chromosomes) together.

Generally, a synaptonemal complex (protein lattice) is formed between homologous chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Also, synaptonemal complex is important for the formation of the four sister chromatids referred to as tetrads.

Furthermore, the synaptonemal complex (protein lattice) has a tripartite structure which comprises of the following components;

I. SC protein-1 (SYCP1).

II. SC protein-2 (SYCP2).

III. SC protein-3 (SYCP3).

In conclusion, the synaptonemal complex plays a significant role in synapsis, recombination and chromosome pairing.

Which is more complex prokaryotes or eukaryotes cells
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Eukaryotes

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles.

Prokaryotic cells do NOT have membrane bound organelles.

So, a Eukaryotic cell has structures such as a nucleus, mitochondria, a golgi complex, etc.  This provides the cells with distinct stuctures that have distinct functions.

consider the expression of a protein (protein synthesis.)  Transcription of the DNA into RNA happens within the nucleus.  The mRNA is sent from the nucleus to the cyctoplasm, where translation occurs at either the rough endoplasmic reticulum or the free floating ribosomes.

A prokaryotic cell has all of its machinery floating around inside its cytoplasm with no separation.    In these cells, transcription and translation both occur in the cytoplasm.  In fact, translation often begins before transcription is finished...

Compare and contrast the mechanisms by which a small, non-polar molecule (such as CO2) and a larger, more complex molecule (such
skad [1K]
CO2 is a relatively small non-polar molecule that can easily fit through the phospholipids in the plasma membrane without getting repelled by the hydrophobic core of the bilayer. Hence CO2 diffuses across the membrane without the aid of any intrinsic proteins (simple diffusion).

Amino acids however are large molecules that cannot fit through phospholipids in the bilayer. Hence, amino acids are most likely to diffuse across the cell plasma membrane with the help of channel and carrier proteins via facilitated diffusion.

You'll be able to make contrast and compare by reading both of them.

Explain hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic solutions and explain how cell behaves in the three solutions.
juin [17]
In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. ... If placed in a hypotonic solution, a red blood cell will bloat up and may explode, while in a hypertonic solution, it will shrivel—making the cytoplasm dense and its contents concentrated—and may die.

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. ... When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.
