Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are two pieces of DNA within a diploid organism which carry the same genes, one from each parental source.

In simpler terms, both of your parents provide a complete genome. Each parent provides the same 23 chromosomes, which encode the same genes. So, our cells carry 46 total chromosomes, in two copies. However, each homologous chromosome can provide a different version of each gene. Two versions of each gene create more variety, lower the detrimental effects of negative mutations, and generally stabilize a population.

I hope it's helpful!!

Which of the following statements is correct?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The statement that is correct is that all cells have the same genes, but different genes are active in different cells.

Explanation:

Differentiation or specialization is a function that cells possess and is what allows them to have different types of cells and tissues.

Cell differentiation depends on genetic regulation, a mechanism that determines the specific genes that are expressed in a cell or tissue type.

All cells contain the same DNA, which is organized into chromosomes and contain the genes that determine specific characteristics. <u>There is cell differentiation because some genes can be expressed and others are suppressed, all due to genetic regulation</u>.

The other choices are wrong because:

  • <em>The eyes look different from the liver, because they have the same genes, but only some are expressed. </em>
  • <em>Differentiated cells and tissues do not lose their genes. </em>
  • <em>All cells have DNA.</em>

I would say the last one. Yes, the coral reef in the south is being threaten but, it’s not the only one. Many other reefs are being threatened. Why? To find the problem to this reef you need to find the problems of other reefs and compare the data. Which ever the most problem cause you get rid of that first.

If a test tube has been used, and its contents is supposed to be disposed, carefully pour the contents to the lavatory with a confirmation of a professional (as it may damage the pipelines of the sink) and ensure that there are no splashes created that can contact the human skin. Wash the test tube thoroughly and let dry.
