Crossing over between two chromosomes

Answer:

Crossing-over

Explanation:

During Prophase I, which is the first division stage of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up with each chromosome aligning with its homologue partner to form a TETRAD structure. At this stage, segments of each homologous chromosome break and get refixed interchangeably i.e trade parts. This process is called Crossing-over or RECOMBINATION

Crossing-over is the process whereby two chromosomes of a homologous pair (non-sister chromatids) exchange equal segments with each other to form two recombinant chromosomes.

Crossing-over accounts for genetic variation due to the swapping of genetic material. Some of the daughter cells receive daughter chromosomes with recombined alleles. Due to this genetic recombination, the offspring have a different set of alleles and genes than their parents do.

-Why do some land types absorb water better than others?<br>​
Kitty [74]

Answer:

I'm sure this is due to the porosity of the land type.

Explanation:

You see some land types are more porous than others; meaning, there are plenty air pockets in that land type. Hence, allowing water to pass through easily as compared to those with lesser air pockets.

Which statement describes the offspring of the Fı generation when crossing a pea plant that is true breeding for green seeds wit
alukav5142 [94]

The offspring will inherit one allele from each parent.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The genetic crossing experiments lead to the formation of different hybrids which has several characters unlike their parents. Here the parents are homozygous.

One of the parent is homozygous yellow with respect to seed colour. So genetic combination of the parent will be YY.

The other parent is homozygous green with respect to seed color. So genetic combination of the parent will be yy.

Now as they are crossed the offsprings will have genetic combination of Yy.

This is seen that the offsprings carry one allele from both the parents.
