Hello there!

These structures are called Vestigial Structures.

The Vestigial Structures are those whose original function was lost during evolution. In humans, these structures are the appendix, the coccyx, the wisdom teeth and others. 

In animals, examples of vestigial structures are the wings of flightless birds, hind leg bones on whales and pythons and eyes in blind fishes. Those vestigial structures help scientists study the evolution of some species.

Crossing over prevents homologous chromosomes from separating during meiosis i. true or false?
Scilla [17]

Crossing over does not prevent homologous chromosomes from separating during meiosis, hence, the statement is false.

CROSSING OVER:

  • Crossing over is the process whereby non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange their genetic materials.

  • Crossing over occurs specifically during the prophase I stage of meiosis I. Via this process, genetic diversity is likely to occur in the daughter cells.

  • Crossing over only assures that genes of homologous chromosomes are recombined, it does not stop them from separating in the Anaphase stage.

  • Therefore, crossing over does not prevent homologous chromosomes from separating during meiosis, hence, the statement is false.
