how does the random alignment of homologous chromosomes contribute to genetic variation in a population

Biology

SCORPION-xisa [38]3 years ago
8 0

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.

What is a cell membrane used in everyday uses?
nydimaria [60]
<span>Cell membrane protects, regulates and controls the movement of object that goes in and out of the cell.

Cell membrane is comprised of phospholipids (its major component ) which can create lipid bilayers because of their  water attracting characteristics.  Another lipid inside the cell membrane is </span>cholesterol, <span>which makes the cell membrane more fluid. Cholesterol is a waxy fat-like substance found in all cells of the body. </span>
<span>When you have a high cholesterol, it can create a plaque in your arteries thus, develop a high risk of heart disease. People who have high cholesterol has a greater possibility to acquire coronary heart diseases.</span>

How long before an unexpected critical event or actual cardiac arrest does a patient's baseline begin to deteriorate?
umka2103 [35]

The answer to this question is a mean of 6.5 hours.

<span>Cardiac arrest is a situation when the heart loss its function of pumping blood in the body. The main cause of cardiac arrest is due to coronary artery disease. Some of the causes of cardiac arrest are heart failure, lack of oxygen in the body, and due to a plenty of blood loss. If a person is under cardiac arrest and not treated immediately, the patient will die. </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>

Transport proteins can become saturated with solute, have specificity for certain substances, undergo conformational (shape) cha
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The given characteristics can be shown by Enzymes.

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are substances, mostly proteins, that helps in increasing the speed or rate of a biochemical reaction (conversion of substrate to product) by reducing the activation energy barrier of the reaction.
  • The enzymes which are made up of proteins have an specific location or region inside them which is called the Active Site.
  • The biochemical reaction occurs at this active site.
  • The specific substrate molecule(s) comes and associated with the active site of the enzyme, mostly by means of non-covalent interactions.
  • By means of amino acid side chains (which have a definite pKa) the exact environment (oxidising or reducing) required for the chemical reaction to occur is maintained by the enzyme at its active site.
  • After associating with its substrate(s) the enzyme undergoes certain conformational changes in order to position the substrate(s) in the correct orientation such the biochemical reaction can occur.
  • After the products are formed, the enzyme further undergoes some conformational changes to release them.
  • Enzymes are similar to transport proteins because:
  1. When the concentration of substrates is far more than that of the available enzymes molecules, then the enzymes would get saturated with substrates, like the transport proteins.
  2. The enzymes are highly specific for their substrates like the transport proteins.
  3. The enzymes undergo conformational changes during the biochemical reaction like the transport proteins.
  4. Both the rate of enzymatic reaction and membrane transport is regulated by the cell.

differentiate between a university and a TVET college in terms of what each offers and explain the stigma associatited with TVET
STatiana [176]

Explanation:

A TVET qualification is easier to achieve and at a lower price also focused on getting you into the workforce faster. University is geared towards the transfer of knowledge rather than skills.

the stigma associated with TVET colleges are that those who go to the college is a failure. or a institute for those who aren't smart enough. And also for those who failed to get into university
