Biology

prisoha [69]3 years ago
5 0

The main benefit of crossing over is that it increases genetic diversity.

<h2>Crossing over and Genetic Diversity</h2>

Crossing over ensures that the daughter cells produced are genetically more diverse than their parent cells.

The exchange of chromosomal segments makes the chromosomes of the daughter cells to be more sophisticated than that of their parents.

Increased genetic diversity in daughter cells increases their chances of survival as more genes are present in their genomes that could potentially make them more adaptable to the environment.

In summary, crossing over increases genetic diversity and genetic diversity increases the chances of survival in the face of changing environment.

Why is it necessary to complete the identification of a bacterium based?
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>The trouble with identifying bacteria is that a lot of them look exactly the same. So, identifying by shape and such will only get you so far. However, two kinds of bacteria that look exactly the same under the microscope could have very different physiologists. One may be able to use a certain sugar as an energy source while the other one cannot, for example. Therefore, you can use morphology (physical characteristics) to narrow down the possibilities, but then you must complete the identification using the bacteria's physiology.</span>

An organism has 28 pairs of chromosomes in its diploid somatic cells. how many chromosomes are in its gametes?
Digiron [165]
An organism has 28 pairs of chromosomes in its diploid somatic cells. How many chromosomes are in its gametes?
diploid = 2n, haploid = n
2n = 28 pairs = 28×2 = 56, n = 28
gametes are haploid = n = 28 total chromosomes
