3. What is crossing over? When does it occur during meiosis? Why did you have difficulty modeling this element of meiosis using

your “chromosomes?”

Crossing over happens in Meiosis 1 only. In Prophase 1 a cells chromatin (chromatin = chromosomes that have not condensed yet) condense and pair up forming homologous chromosomes (paired = XX (2 chromosomes together)). When this happens segments/ alleles of the chromosomes pairing up swap over. This creates genetic diversity as each chromosome is different, it has parts from its pair. This leaves every chromosome unique and individual.

I hope this helps, sorry some of the vocab is rather technical. By the way I would suggest watching the 'Crash Course: Meiosis' on YouTube, this really helped me when I was learning this topic. :D

Crossing over can be expressed in three points:
1. Crossing over is when two chromosomes exchange their genetic materials in a process called synapsis. 2. It occurs in meiosis 1 during prophase 1. 3. One example: Your chromosomes may end up crossing over with wrong chromosomes due to mutation in one of the chromosome or both.

A significant use of triglycerides in the body is triglycerides can be used to break down both carbohydrates and proteins trigly
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

  • The chemical structure of triglycerides includes:
  1. A glycerol molecule attached with ester bonds to,
  2. Three fatty acid chains.
  • Among all the bio-molecules available in the cells, triglycerides store the maximum energy, due to the presence of long carbon chains with single (saturated) or double/triple (unsaturated) bonds.
  • One gram of triglyceride can store about 38 kJ of energy which is double the amount that can be stored in carbohydrates.
  • During metabolism, these molecules are hydrolysed by enzymes called lipases, those are secreted by the pancreas, into fatty acids, mono- and di-glycerides, by the process of lipolysis.
  • Bile in the intestine further promotes the action of lipases.
  • These digested components are absorbed into the duodenum through the enterocyte cells where they associate with proteins and cholesterol to form chylomicrons.
  • These chylomicrons are released into the lymphatic system and from there cells of various organs can absorb them for storage or hydrolysis.
  • The triglycerides are used in the cells for energy by hydrolysing them using cell specific lipases to fatty acid and glycerol.
  • The glycerol is used to produce glucose and the fatty acids are further hydrolysed or converted to ketone from which amino acids can be formed.

The presence of abnormally low amounts of oxygen in the blood is referred to as?
Ratling [72]
It's called hypoxemia, it's low levels of oxygen in the blood, to be more specific, it's oxygen loss in your blood from your arteries. It can cause respiratory disorders, and tissue hypoxia, as a result of the blood not providing much oxygen to your body.

I hope I helped :)

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Enzymes (since they are proteins dependent on their shape) become denatured. When the temperature drops, the enzyme regains its shape.. Changes in pH will also denature the enzyme by changing the shape of the enzyme. Enzymes are also adapted to operate at a specific pH or pH range.,
