Which correctly describes crossing over

2 answers:

-Crossing over occurs between prophase 1 and metaphase 1 and is the process where homologous chromosomes pair up with each other and exchange different segments of their genetic material to form recombinant chromosomes. It can also happen during mitotic division, which may result in loss of heterozygosity.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Which correctly describes crossing over? A)the process whereby nonsister chromatids exchange genetic material B)the process whereby homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles of the cell C)the process whereby sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell D)the process whereby homologous chromosome pairs align randomly along the metaphase plate"

Answer:

A)the process whereby nonsister chromatids exchange genetic material

Explanation:

Crossing over is a phenomenon that involves homologous chromatids. They break at some points and, in the sequence, there is an exchange of corresponding pieces between them. It is worth noting that the exchanges cause the emergence of other gene sequences along the chromosomes. Thus, if there are several genes combined on a chromosome, after crossing the combination can be changed.

This process occurs during prophase I of meiosis cell division. Because of this characteristic, crossing increases genetic variability.

A tobacco plant is heterozygous for the genes for long stems (Ss), large leaves (Ll), and fibrous roots (Rr). It is crossed with

Ainat [17]

Firstly, start by doing Punnett squares for each of the characteristics. Attached are the three Punnet squares, made by me, as they should look in end.

For each of the Punnet squares, one characteristic each, we find that half of the offspring will be heterozygous for that characteristic.
Therefore, according to the product rule, you should now multiply the quantity of heterozygous for each characteristic and then obtain the total part of the offspring that's fully heterozygous.

$\frac{1}{2}$ Ss× $\frac{1}{2}$ Ll× $\frac{1}{2}$ Rr= $\frac{1}{8}$ SsLlRr

Total offspring× $\frac{1}{8}$ =10
There is 10 plants in the total offspring that are heterozygous for all the considered three genes.
