The assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation, the raw material for evolution.
During metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are lined up at the equator plate of the cell in order to be separated (assorted) in anaphase I.
The separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I is random. Daughter cells receive unique gene combinations from an original parent cell.
Subsequently, haploid cells got from two successive meiotic divisions fuse during fecundation to form a diploid (2n) zygote.
During prophase I, non-sister chromatids interchange genetic material by a process known as recombination. This genetic process also increases genetic variation in daughter cells.
In conclusion, the assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation.
Answer:
The correct answer is "a hypertonic solution".
Explanation:
Seawater is the most clear example of a hypertonic solution in nature. The concentration of ions in seawater are far more superior than the concentration of ions inside a plant or an animal cell, since seawater have an osmolarity of about 1000 mOsm/l. Therefore, at high tide a plant or animal cell will be in a hypertonic solution, and the cells must have adaptions to avoid cell shrinking and dead.
Answer:
a) Radiant energy --> chemical energy
Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete but the completed question can be seen in the document attached.
There are three main subatomic particles namely electrons, protons and neutrons. However, the question only discusses two of them; electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged).
A. Found in all matter
Answer: They are <u>both</u> found in all matter since all matter are made up of atoms and all atoms have both protons and electrons (and even neutrons).
B. Negative charge
Answer: The subatomic particle with negative charge (as discovered by R.A Millikan) is the <u>electron</u>
C. Exists in the nucleus
The subatomic particles found in the nucleus are the <u>protons</u> and neutrons.
D. Attract opposite charges
They <u>both</u> (protons and electrons) attract opposite charges because they are of opposite charges and generally unlike charges attract.
E. Moves at extreme speed
Of the two subatomic particles mentioned, <u>electrons</u> move faster than protons because of there lighter mass when compared to the protons. However, the fastest subatomic particle is the neutrino.
F. Bound by strong force
The <u>protons</u> are bound by strong nuclear force which binds them to the nucleus of the atom.
8-10 years but one has lived to 20 years.
