Why is meiosis important in maintaining genetic diversity?

Question 6 options:

A Meiosis creates diversity by cutting each chromosome exactly in half.


B The two different chromosomes of the organism producing the sex cell (egg or sperm) are mixed up during crossover, creating a new combination of alleles.


C It creates sex cells (eggs or sperm) that have exactly the same alleles (version of a gene) as the parents.


D The chromosomes in meiosis are copied so they are exactly the same as the organism producing the gamete, except they have just one copy.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We now know that meiosis is the process of chromosomal reduction which allows the production of haploid germ cells necessary for sexual reproduction. Meiosis is furthermore important for its role in enabling genetic diversity and facilitating the repair of genetic defects through recombination.

Explanation:

Brainliest please?

Answer 2

Meiosis is a specialized form of a cell division in which number of chromosomes is reduced to half. The reduction in chromosome number is achieved by one round of DNA replication and two rounds of chromosome segregation.    

Meiosis produces genetic variation by the process of recombination.Recombination occurs when two molecules of DNA exchange pieces of their genetic material. The process of recombination occurs during the prophase stage of meiosis I. In meiosis, crossing over occurs between the non-sister chromatids in a homologous pair (one from each parent) of chromosomes.

The correct answer is option B. The two different chromosomes of the organism producing the sex cell (egg or sperm) are mixed up during crossover, creating a new combination of alleles.

Other options-

A. Meiosis creates diversity by cutting each chromosome exactly in half - incorrect .In meiosis the chromosome number is reduced to half.

C. It creates sex cells (egg or sperm) that have exactly the same alleles (version of a gene) as the parents-incorrect. The sex cells produced are not genetically identical to the parent cell.

D. The chromosome in meiosis are copied so they are exactly the same as the organism producing the gamete, except they have just one copy-incorrect. In meiosis the chromosomes are not exactly copied.

Describe how positive control in prokaryotes can be altered by the external environment

Answers

Answer:

The positive control is control when there is an activator present which acts as a regulatory protein so the operon and activator binds and initiates the stimulation of transcription to express the gene. In absence of this activator or regulatory protein, the operon will be inactivated.

External environmental stimuli can lead to alteration of the positive control in prokaryotes such as excess lactose in the environment. These environmental stimuli can induce transcription in prokaryotes.

In this example, if glucose is not available in the environment, the transcription of the lac operon will be induced by the presence of lactose in the environment.

incorporate the gun misinformation into their memories of the theft more than those in

2. What fluvial landform is A?

Answers

Answer:

The landform marked with A is an ox-bow lake.

Explanation:

In the image, we can see a river and another fluvial landform right next to it. The river is meandering, moving through the plain in a zig-zag manner. The landform next to it has a half-circular shape, and it seems as it has been attached to the river until recently. In fact, the landform next to the river has been a part of the river until recently, but because of moving too far away from the base it became detached.

The landform in question is an ox-bow lake. This is a lake that has a short lifespan, and it usually has a half-circular shape, being just a few meters away from the river from which it formed. Initially, the ox-bow lake was actually part of the river and its meandering, but as the erosion was moving the water further and further away from the base of the river bed, the water was moving harder and harder, so naturally, the water moves in a direction where it is easier to do so. Little by little, the river starts to move in another direction, closer to its base, and the part of the meander that went too far away gets detached, thus forming an ox-bow lake.

Okay here you go. The cons to climate change would be anything negative. Soooo

3. Heat Waves
4. More heat = longer allergy seasons and more respiratory diseases.

The pros to climate change would include anything positive. Soooo
1. Fewer winter deaths
2. Low energy costs
3. Better agricultural yields
4. Fewer droughts.

Here is your conclusion.
Climate change may have a couple of pros but overall it’s terrible and we don’t want it to happen. It’s dangerous and could end the world. We need to take care of our earth and it’s as simple as not littering. Climate change is bad and just about every living thing would go extinct. Aka animals and humans.

Why do you think in the table below, Adenine and Thymine have almost the same number – but not exactly?

Thymine

Answers

Adenine pairs with thymine and Guanine pairs with cytosine. The numbers are not exactly the same because of the mutations that happen in DNA. Some of the DNA could be broken off or put somewhere else in the gene that would throw everything off, nothing is perfect. However in a perfect world, both adenine and thymine would have the same numbers.

Answers

Answer:

Increasing  carbon dioxide  concentration  increases the  rate of  photosynthesis  as carbon  dioxide (CO2) is a limiting factor.

Explanation:

Some limiting factors like carbon dioxide, temperature etc. influence the photosynthetic rate, which may end up reducing the potential amount of carbohydrate produced by photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is important for this form of biosynthesis: it provides the inorganic carbon that is integrated into carbohydrate molecules.

The photosynthetic rate can be slowed by a decline in the concentration of available carbon dioxide.

In the transcription of DNA to mRNA, for the DNA sequence 3'-AGGTCTCAC-5' corresponds to an mRNA sequence 5'-UCCAGAAGUG-3'.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process by which a strand of mRNA, needed to direct protein synthesis in the cytoplasm, is synthesized from a strand of DNA.

The sequence of nucleotides in the RNA chain depends on the sequence of bases in the DNA strand, being placed according to the complementarity of nitrogenous bases, where a purine is complemented with a pyrimidine.

In RNA, the thymine base is replaced by Uracil, the complementary base to adenine of DNA.

Evaporation-the process of turning from liquid into vapor.

Condensation-water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

and gravity- Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and Earth's gravity pulls matter downward, toward its center. It pulls precipitation down from clouds and pulls water downhill. The warm water near the surface of the ocean heats up with sunlight and evaporates, keeping the water cycle in motion.
