Point out the difference between mitosis and meiosis. Why is meiosis necessary?Nuclear division processes:Mitosis and meiosis are two nuclear division processes that happen in multicellular organisms. These processes differ in the daughter cells produced and the amount of chromosomes they...
Why is meiosis necessary? Why couldn't chromosomes be passively divided when a cell pinches in two? Why does gene flow keep separate populations similar? How would you know if two chromosomes were homologous? Why are autosomal chromosomes called autosomal?
During meiosis, homologous chromosomes undergo a reciprocal exchange of DNA to generate crossovers. Meiotic crossovers create physical connections between homologous chromosomes that are necessary for proper segregation at the first meiotic division, and also generate new combinations of alleles.Why is it ...
Why is Sex Necessary?Sexually dimorphic behaviorsAnatomical, physiological, and behavioral differences between males and females of the same species.CourtingMatingParental behaviorAggressive behaviorWithout these behaviors most species would not survive
Meiosis, the cell division process giving rise to sperm and eggs, involves several steps, one of which is the formation of a large protein structure called the synaptonemal complex. Like a bridge, the complex holds chromosome pairs in place enabling necessary genetic exchanges to occur that are ...
In particular, the large 'azygospores' that some Glomeromycotina produce are likely to be homologous to zygospores, the site of meiosis in other Mucoromycotina. The problem with these spores is that they are formed from multinuclear hyphae and yield a multinuclear spore – without a single ...
Their relationship is unknown, but it could provide an indication as to whether and how monogeny evolves repeatedly. It will also be necessary to uncover the molecular control of the sex ratio in monogenic and digenic species, and to determine the role of the GRCs, if any, in sex ...
At the heart of meiosis is crossover recombination, i.e., reciprocal exchange of chromosome fragments between parental genomes. Surprisingly, in most eukar
To address this point from a methodological point of view, a study suggested that although epigenetic changes can add to individual disease risk (T2DM causation), they can only contribute to heritability when the stability of methylation transmission during meiosis is very high. To overcome this ...
