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.

Describe and explain how blood flows from the foot to the lungs.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

lungs:

The blood first enters the right atrium.

The blood then flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.

When the heart beats, the ventricle pushes blood through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery.

The pulmonary artery carries blood to the lungs where it “picks up” oxygen.

It then leaves the lungs to return to the heart through the pulmonary vein.

The blood enters the left atrium.

It drops through the mitral valve into the left ventricle.

The left ventricle then pumps blood through the aortic valve and into the aorta. The aorta is the artery that feeds the rest of the body through a system of blood vessels.

Blood returns to the heart from the body via two large blood vessels called the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. This blood carries little oxygen, as it is returning from the body where oxygen was used.

The vena cavas pump blood into the right atrium and the cycle begins all over again.

Softa [21]

Answer:

A great example is the peppered moths evolution. Since the Industrial Revolution the birch trees started to turn black from the soot. This casued all the white moths to be eaten from birds. The ones that were left to mate were black moths which favored the black gene. So overtime black moths became more common. They were naturaly selected based on color to survived and pass down their black colored genes.

lesya [120]

Answer:

The five-and-five first aid action recommended by the red cross

Explanation:

When an infant is choking and becomes unresponsive, the five-and-five approach is recommended as a first aid treatment to dislodge the material blocking the airway.

<em>The five-and-five action involves alternation between giving the subject five back blows and five abdominal thrusts until the the choking material is dislodged or the subject becomes unconscious.</em>

If the infant becomes unconscious, CPR should be performed and further help should be sought.

How energy can be transferred<br>through empty space where no particles are colliding.<br>​
Kipish [7]
I agree with the other person “Radiation. Both conduction and convection transfer energy through matter. Radiation is the only way of transferring energy that doesn't require matter. Radiation is the transfer of energy by waves that can travel through empty space.”
