Answer:

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1), the random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1), and random fertilization are the mechanisms involved in genetic variation.

Explanation:

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1), the random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1), and random fertilization are the mechanisms involved in genetic variation.

The Crossing-over events occur between two homologous chromosomes in the equatorial plane and make the daughter cells genetically different from the original one. The Chiasma is the position where two homologous chromatids interchange genetic information, giving a place for new genetic material or information to be provided to descendants. After crossing over, homologous chromosomes get separated again.  

On the equatorial plane, homologous paired together, randomly aline with their kinetochores facing opposite poles. The random arrangement of tetrads is different in every cell going through the meiosis process. There is no equal alinement between two cells. When tetrads aline in the equatorial plane, there is no predetermined order for each of the homologous chromosomes of each tetrad to face one of the poles and then migrate to it while separating.  Chromosomes of the homologous pair arrange to face any of the poles to migrate forward to it. Each of the chromosomes has two possibilities for orientation at the plane. When the new haploid cells are formed, the number of variations in each cell is also different and depends on the chromosomes that form that cell. The order in the equatorial plane is what introduces variation into the gametes, being almost impossible for two gametes to have the same genetic charge.  

Independent assortment occurs when the alleles from two or more different genes distribute in gametes independently from each other. In other words, a gamete receives an allele from a gene that does not depend on nor influence the allele of another gene in the same gamete. This can only be applied to independent genes. An organism gets only one of the members of the chromatids pair of each parent.

Alex is participating in a 50 meter dash. Predict the most important chemical process his muscles will rely on during this race.
natta225 [31]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option E

BOTH ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION AND CREATININE PHOSPHATE BREAKDOWN.

Explanation: 50 meter dash is a race,a form of exercise, energy is required as well as muscle contraction and chemical processes.

Alex muscles will rely on the following chemical processes during the race;anaerobic respiration and creatine phosphate breakdown.

These chemical processes are explained below;

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to generate energy but unlike aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy and create adenosine triphosphate(ATP), lactic acid and ethanol.

Muscle contraction cannot take place without the supply of energy by ATP, molecules can store energy in it's phosphate form, this molecule is known as creatine phosphate,when this happens,ATP that is in excess will then transfer it's energy to creatine,this action will produce creatinine phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and they will now be stored as reserve of energy that can be used to produce more ATP and thus energy is produced.

Identify a control group for the analysis shown in Figure 3. Justify analyzing SIRT3 protein level in four different cancer cell
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

the control group is NS (normal stomach cells). the different cells can react different ways based on the specific cell because each cell in different people codes for different traits in each person therefore they are likely to react differently. the higher the SIRT3 expression the higher the cytoplasmic ATP levels. the difference is about 1 difference.
