Answer:

Crossing over

Explanation:

Crossing over is the process during which two chromatids of two homologous chromosomes exchange part of their genetic segments. It occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis I.

Linked genes are mostly inherited together and do not exhibit independent assortment. However, when linked genes are present far apart from each other on the same chromosome, crossing over can occur between them to produce recombinant chromatids. Therefore, crossing over can break the linkage and produce recombinant progeny as it occurs during the independent assortment of unlinked genes.

Why are telomeres problematic for eukaryotic chromosome replication? a) They are highly repetitive and thus hard to replicate co
Natalka [10]

Answer: Option E

Maintaining very long telomeres promotes cancer cell formation.

Explanation:

Telomere refers to either of the sequences of DNA at each end of a eukaryotic chromosome.

Usually, in eukaryote chromosome replication, telomeres are not replicated.

Hence, they are usually lost resulting in the shortening of the telomere ends after repeated cycle of cell division. This also leads to cell aging and stoppage of cell division.

The shortening of telomere combined with stoppage of cell division, and cell aging initiation prevent CANCER, which thrives on lengthy telomeres

Why are catfish and carp found at the mouth of a river, while trout are found nearer the source?
uysha [10]
<span>Catfish and carp require less oxygen than trout. The mouth of a river usually has less oxygen and the area closer to the source has more oxygen, so since catfish and trout require more oxygen they typically are found at the source.</span>

A gel electrophoresis migration pattern displaying polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products shows four strong bands. The lengths
dangina [55]

Answer:

D) The encoded protein contains four repeats of a specific sequence.

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction is a technique used to replicate or amplify the amount of DNA sample.

The technique employs running the DNA samples on the gel through which the DNA samples run based on their sizes.

The large-sized DNA fragment runs to a less distance whereas the small-sized DNA run to a large distance.

In the given question, four sizes of DNA bands are formed in the ratio of  1:2:3:4 which shows that the proteins encoded by this DNA have four repeats of a specific sequence of the template strand. This was confirmed when the largest band sample was again used as a sample of PCR and the PCR resulted in the four bands in similar  1:2:3:4.  

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
