What is crossing over?

Biology
1 answer:
Vedmedyk [2.9K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: When two homologous chromosomes transfer genetic information in prophase 1.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a process in which the a single parent (diploid) cell divides twice to produce four haploid daughter cells which have half the number of chromosomes as that of their parents.

Crossing over can be defined as exchange of genetic material that occurs between the chromosomes of opposite germ line. This process helps in transfer of mixing of traits to the offspring from both parents. This occurs in prophase 1 stage of meiosis. This process is the basis of formation of gametes or sex cells that are eggs in female and sperm cells in the male. The paired homologous chromosomes from single parent align to form a bivalent so that cross over each other and a unique combination of trait develop after this process.

when the cell duplicates chromosomes and separates into two separate nuclei, the cell is said to be in what phase (a)[Go phase]
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The correct answer would be (c)[m phase].

M phase or mitotic phase is the phase of the cell cycle in which the actual division of chromosomes (karyokinesis) into two daughter nuclei takes place.

It can be divided into four stages namely prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

During anaphase, the sister chromatids of each replicated chromosomes are separated from each other and are pulled in opposite side with the help of mitotic spindle.

Then during telophase (last stage of M phase), the separated chromosomes reach either pole of a dividing cell. In addition, nuclear membranes are reformed around each chromosome set which forms the two daughter nuclei.

M phase is followed by cytokinesis which divides the cytoplasm, cell organelles, cell membrane, and two daughter nuclei into two daughter cells.

Note: Chromosome duplication or replication takes place in S phase while the division of the replicated chromosomes takes place in M phase.

oee [108]

Answer:

B. into an aquifer

Explanation:

People can obtain groundwater by drilling a well into an aquifer.

An aquifer is a porous and permeable formation where groundwater can be found.

  • Aquifer is usually found below the water table.
  • In this regard, the pore spaces of this layer of the earth allows for the storage of ground water.
  • When the aquifer is punctured, groundwater can be abstracted.
