In this Gizmo, only one crossover is allowed in each segment. In reality, crossovers can occur at almost any point along the chr

omosome. How do the random distribution of chromosomes and crossovers create more variation in the resulting gametes?

Answer:

Meiosis and Genetic Variation.

Explanation:

When homologous chromosomes form pairs during prophase I of meiosis I, crossing-over can occur. Crossing-over is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.

When cells divide during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed during anaphase I, separating and segregating independently of each other. This is called independent assortment. It results in gametes that have unique combinations of chromosomes.

In sexual reproduction, two gametes unite to produce an offspring. But which two of the millions of possible gametes will it be? This is likely to be a matter of chance. It is obviously another source of genetic variation in offspring. This is known as random fertilization.

sashaice [31]

Before a cell goes through cell division (mitosis), it must grow and make a copy of its DNA which is termed as an Inter-phase.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Some tasks must be carried out by the cells before they undergo division: The cell must grow, it must copy the genetic material (DNA) present in it, and  divide into two daughter cells. These steps carried out by cells are termed as  cell cycle.

Cells that contains a nucleus or Eukaryota cells, there are two major phases called interphase and the mitotic (M) phase. that comprises the cell cycle.

In  inter-phase, growth of the cell and making a copy of its DNA is carried out.

In mitotic (M) phase, the cell separation of the DNA in the cell into two sets and division of its cytoplasm takes place resulting in the formation of two new cells.

An undersupply of the major inhibitory neurotransmitter known as ________ is linked to seizures.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Explanation:

Epileptic seizures are induced by a preponderance of electrical activity within the network of neurons in the brain. Synapsis is the meeting point between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron. Electrical signals don't cross through the synapsis, instead, they are conveyed in a chemical form by neurotransmitters.

The neurotransmitters convey messages across the synapsis in a chemical form until they find to the receptor of the dendrite of the receiving neuron. Neurotransmitters can either be excitatory or inhibitory in function i.e. the receiving neuron can either be stimulated to action or inhibited from action. The main excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain are Glutamate and Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) respectively.

There must be a balance between excitation and inhibition of neurons, in order to ascertain the optimal functioning of the brain. Too much Glutamate or too little of GABA can make neurons hyperexcitable and hyperexcitability of neurons makes the brain susceptible to seizures.

Assume that in cattle a spotted coat is dominant to an even coat, short horns are dominant to long horns, and the traits for coa
kow [346]

Answer:

C. 1/4

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele for the spotted coat is "S" and the one for the even coat is "s". The allele "L" gives short horns while the recessive allele "l" imparts long horns. The genotype of the cattle heterozygous for both traits would be SsLl. A cross between two heterozygous cattle would produce progeny in following phenotype ratio=

9 spotted coat and short horns: 3 even coat and short horns: 3 spotted coat and long horns: 1 even coat and long horns.

Therefore, the proportion of the progeny with long horns = 4/16= 1/4

How does the structure of a type of human tissue relate to its function in the body?
Illusion [34]
