Homologous chromosomes pair, then the chromosomes cross over in certain points. Then the Chromosomes break up and then pair again which results in different genes since they traded. Which is the result of genetic variability.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

by inhibiting the mitotic spindle plasticity

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, the mitotic spindle is the cytoskeletal structure by which sister chromatids are separated during cell division. Spindle microtubules are known to drive chromosome segregation, while tubulins are Microtubule-Associated Proteins (MAPs) that attach to microtubules in order to modulate their dynamics. Antimitotic drugs are nowadays widely used in chemotherapy to disrupt microtubule assembly and chromosome segregation, thereby producing mitotic arrest and cell death (apoptosis).

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Metabolism consists of all the energy transformation reactions in an organism. (Ans. B)

Explanation:

Metabolism is defined as the total sum of the chemical reactions which synthesized in every cell of living things and provides energy for formation of new organic materials and vital processes (such as movement, growth, reproduction and development).

In living metabolism, enzyme mediated chemical reactions takes place. Energy which comes from nutrients and solar energy fueling multistep reactions and converting into the molecules which is necessary for maintenance and growth.

All of the following enhance water transport in terrestrial plants except: a) hydrogen bonds linking water molecules. b) capilla
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

D) K being transported out of the guard cell.

Explanation:

The movement of water in the terrestrial plants is a very important factor as each cell of the plant require water to survive.

The movement of water is influenced by many physical, chemical and process going on in the plants like transpiration and stomatal opening and closing.

Water posses adhesion and cohesion properties which allow the water molecules to form a bond with other surface and with each other respectively. This allows the movement of water in the xylem by a process called capillary action.

The evaporation of water creates a pressure on the plant to absorb water from the soil but when potassium ions move out of the guard cell of stomata, the guard cells lose turgidity and stomata gets closed.

Thus, Option-D is correct.
