What is the importance of crossing-over?

Biology

SCORPION-xisa [38]3 years ago

Answer:

It increases the likelihood that daughter cells will contain different genetic combinations.

Explanation:

All living cells undergo division which can either be Mitosis or Meiosis. Meiosis is peculiar to the cells of sexually-reproducing organisms. Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) with a reduced number of chromosomes (by half).

In meiosis, particularly during Prophase I, a unique phenomenon whereby chromosomal segment gets exchanged between the non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes occurs. This process is called CROSSING-OVER or RECOMBINATION. This crossing-over increases the chance of genetic diversity among sexually-reproducing organisms i.e. the chance that organisms with different genetic contents from the parents will be produced due to the different/recombined genetic combinations in the gametes produced by meiosis.

Crossing-over is unique to only organisms that undergo meiosis, in which the gametes will get recombined and possess different genetic contents as the parents.

The answer would be b. Crossing over simply creates a higher amount of genetic variation within the daughter cell which is advantageous to sexually reproducing organisms.

Methylation of EZH2 by PRMT1 regulates its stability and promotes breast cancer metastasis. Cell Death Differ. 2020,
vovangra [49]

Yes, it is true that Methylation of EZH2 by PRMT1 regulates its stability and promotes breast cancer metastasis.

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a key histone methyltransferase and EMT inducer, is overexpressed in diverse carcinomas, including breast cancer.

However, the molecular mechanisms of EZH2 dysregulation in cancers are still largely unknown. Here, we discover that EZH2 is asymmetrically dimethylated at R342 (meR342-EZH2) by PRMT1.

meR342-EZH2 was found to inhibit the CDK1-mediated phosphorylation of EZH2 at T345 and T487, thereby attenuating EZH2 ubiquitylation mediated by the E3 ligase TRAF6.

We also demonstrate that meR342-EZH2 resulted in a decrease in EZH2 target gene expression, but an increase in breast cancer cell EMT, invasion and metastasis.

Moreover, we confirm the positive correlations among PRMT1, meR342-EZH2 and EZH2 expression in the breast cancer tissues. Finally, we report that high expression levels of meR342-EZH2 predict a poor clinical outcome in breast cancer patients.

Our findings may provide a novel diagnostic target and promising therapeutic target for breast cancer metastasis.

Water will act as a Brønsted-Lowry acid with which of the following molecules?
rusak2 [61]
According to Bronsted-Lowry acid concept
 an acid is a that donate a proton" and a base is a "proton acceptor."so
  will look for that molecule to which  <span>H2O</span> "donates" H+to become <span>OH−</span>. so answer will be..
. <span>NH3+H2O→NH+4+O<span>H<span>−
so correct option is NH3
hope it helps</span></span></span>
