Why is it critical that equal amounts of DNA are shared between homologous chromosomes?

harina [27]3 years ago

<span>Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes of equal length, size, and of corresponding genetic material. If, during meiosis, these chromosomes divide improperly, when they are re-combined with the opposite sex's portion, they will combine improperly. The unequal distribution of genetic material in reproduction will eventually create what's call an aneuploid germ cell: this germ cell results in dead zygotes, which leads to a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion in about 25 percent of all conceptions. So we see that it is imperative the genetic material of these chromosomes be exactly where it is supposed to be: so that it can combine perfectly with its compliment.</span>

50 POINTS How does biodiversity help ecosystems survive disease,predation,and invasion?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Biodiversity ensures that there is a wide range genetic variations in certain species and many different species in an ecosystem. If an epidemic breaks out in a ecosystem if one species has some organisms that are immune to that disease they will survive and pass on the gene that makes them immune. If one species completely dies out in that ecosystem another species may be able to take over its role in the ecosystem so the whole ecosystem does not die out. If a certain species has a characteristic that helps them blend in with their environment and protects them from their predators those members of the species will survive and pass on their genes to later members of their species. If a invasive species is introduced it would be helpful if their was an animal in that ecosystem that could help regulate the invasive species population however what is most likely to happen is that due to the high stability of the ecosystem due to a high biodiversity the ecosystem will have a better chance of surviving because their will be different sources of food in the environment so the invasive species and the native species wouldn't have to compete too much for food.

elena55 [62]
Hello.

M*Cp*(T’-Tf)=MCp(T'-T)

M*= Mass of Water. ; M= Mass of ice.

Cp*= Specific heat of water

Cp= Specific heat of ice

T= Temp. Of Ice

T'= Temp. of water

Tf= Equilibrium Temp.

Which of the following geological features could form when two plates collide?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

trench

Explanation:

Trenches are geological features formed by convergent boundaries. When two tectonic plates converge, the heavier plate is forced downward, creating a subduction zone. This process results in the formation of a trench. The Marianas Trench is an example of a trench formed by the convergence of two oceanic plates. The deepest part of this trench, called the Challenger Deep, is over 36,000 feet deep, deeper than Mount Everest is tall.
