-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.

So the flowchart should go like this:
Mutation in the CFTR gene >>>>>> Production of defective CFTR protein >>>>>> defective CFTR protein in cell membrane or no protein at all   >>>>>>>   Impaired ion transport across the cells   >>>>>>>   Cells secrete less chloride >>>>>>>   leads to more re-absorption of sodium and water into the cells   >>>>>>>   decreased hydration of mucus present outside the cells as more water is absorbed into the cells    >>>>>>>>   thick viscous mucus.

What structure is most important in forming the tetrads?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- synaptonemal complex.

Explanation:

The tetrad arrangement of the genetic material in an organism is mediated by a highly conserved structure known as the synaptonemal complex.  The synaptonemal complex is formed during the prophase I of the meiosis I which attaches the chromatin of the homologous chromosomes.

The synaptonemal complex is a proteinaceous structure which is formed by the two lateral ladders like elements with a central portion composed of the central element. The chromatin gets attached to the lateral elements while the central a portion bridge space between the two ladders thus help in the formation of the tetrad.

Thus, option- synaptonemal complex is the correct answer.
