Crossing over prevents homologous chromosomes from separating during meiosis i. true or false?

Biology
1 answer:
Scilla [17]2 years ago
4 0

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.

What is the advantage of using STR for the identification of bodies from a mass disaster, such as the World Trade Center?
never [62]
The correct answer is C. Short tandem repeats are mostly different in unrelated peoples' DNA. Therefore, it is used to match the DNA of the people of the related family for identification of bodies, during a mass disaster like World Trade Centre. DNA from the nucleus is extracted in the process, and the STR containing regions are amplified and studied and can be matched with that of the relatives.
