The assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation, the raw material for evolution.

During metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are lined up at the equator plate of the cell in order to be separated (assorted) in anaphase I.

The separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I is random. Daughter cells receive unique gene combinations from an original parent cell.

Subsequently, haploid cells got from two successive meiotic divisions fuse during fecundation to form a diploid (2n) zygote.

During prophase I, non-sister chromatids interchange genetic material by a process known as recombination. This genetic process also increases genetic variation in daughter cells.

In conclusion, the assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation.

netineya [11]

Answer:

The monitoring the growth rate of E.Coli bacteria is a useful indicator of the effect of glycotic enzyme mutation on the bacteria as the flow of intracellular metabolic components depends on the availability of carbon. Hence the change in carbon source can change the glyclyotic enzyme mutation up or down.

Explanation:

Continuous culture is a method that can be used by the researchers for determining whether mutation affects the growth rate of E.Colin-M bacteria

If the growth medium contains higher concentration of acetate,then the growth of the bacteria will be inhibited without inhibiting its central metabolism.

When E.Coli grows ,it secrets acetate. This mechanism is called overflow mechanism. Regulatory interactions mediated by acetyl-phosphate plays a major role in inhibiting growth by acetate. The uncoupling effect of organic acids or perturbation of the anion composition of the cell is a major reason for growth inhibition.

Arteries: any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body.

Capillaries: any of the fine branching blood vessels that form a network between the arterioles and venules.

Veins: any of the tubes forming part of the blood circulation system of the body, carrying in most cases oxygen-depleted blood toward the heart.

They are all similar because not only are they all connected to the heart, but they transfer blood and nutrients all around the body. They are different by where they are located and how effective their function is.
