Which correctly describes crossing over

Biology

-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.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The given question says that a student has constructed a model of cellular transport using fences and several gates.  

This model can be used to demonstrate the cellular transport.

The gates of the fences can be supposed as the protein pumps and the other fence demonstrates the lipid bilayer.  

Let’s suppose in the fence, there are many cattles, and outside, there are less cattles, but the student open the gate and bring more cattles inside the fence. In this case, the transport of the cattles is similar to the active transport of the molecules using protein pumps. At cellular level, the energy for the active transport is provided by ATP molecules.

Now, let’s say, the student wants to feed the cattles with some nutrition rich food, which can help in maintaining the health of the cattles. The student fills his car with the cattle food and he enters inside the fence through gates. In this case, the food was not present in the fence, but was abundant in the outside environment, so, the diffusion would occur. But food cannot come self, without help of others, so, the movement is facilitated by the car, as it is done by the carrier proteins. Hence, it is an example of facilitated diffusion.

Which statement describes the relationship between the lizard and the frog on the food web?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: A.) Heterotrophs compete for the same food source.  

A food chain is a linear sequence in which food and energy is being transfered when one organism is fed the another organism in an ecosystem. A food web is a interconnection of two or more food chains. Heterotrophs are  organisms which are dependent upon other organisms for the food requirement. In the given condition, the lizard and frogs are the heterotrophs which are dependent upon insects for their food requirement.

<em>Hence, heterotrophs compete for the same food source is the correct statement to describe the relationship between the lizard and the frog on the food web. </em>
