Answer:

Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.

Explanation:

Cross overs can lead to formation of chromosome pairs that have no mutant allele.

For example -

Suppose "X" is a mutant  allele and "x" is a mutant free allele.

Now when two homologous chromosomes contains a single mutant allele in different parts of the chromosome are crossed the following offspring are produced

X x

X XX Xx

x Xx xx

"xx" is a mutant free genotype.

Thus, crossing over can create a single mutation-free chromosome

Question 13
Simora [160]

Answer:

B)hydronium

Explanation:

This chemical structure is formed when an acid is disolved into water, as the cation (H+), which comes from the acid, cannot exist as such isolated in water (H20), hence the proton (H+) will be hydrated by a water molecule (H2O)

The union between H+ and H2O is due to the pair of electrons from oxygen and positive charge from H+

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer: A.

Explanation: When a chlorine atom gains an electron, its outermost principal energy level achieves an octet. In this case, the ion has the same outermost shell as the original atom, but now that shell has eight electrons in it.
