The loss of genes that occurred as the horse nematode (Ascaris megalocephala) evolved into a specialized parasite, with only 6 chromosomes in each diploid cell, was most likely due to: deletion of one or more chromosomes deletion of the entire genome duplication of the entire genome duplication of one gene duplication of one chromosome
1) transposons are highly conserved DNA sequences that induce homologous recombination (true or false ) 2)Okazaki fragments are small pieces of RNA synthesized on the lagging strand during transcription (true or false) 3)homologous recombination is a eukaryotic chromatin exchange mechanism that is active during meiosis (true or false)
Why do eukaryotic cells need to go through the elaborate procedure of mitosis rather than simply dividing during interphase? Select as many answers as apply. 1.Daughter cells must be genetically identical to the mother cell, for homeostasis and ordered tissue growth. 2.Bivalent chromosomes must condense and be separated in an orderly fashion, to allow equal distribution of copies into daughter cells 3.Physically dividing the nucleus during interphase would likely lead to gross chromosome breakage and highly unequal assortment of genetic information into daughter cells. 4.Dividing the nucleus during interphase would have the same outcome as mitosis 5.Daughter cells must have half the number of chromosomes after mitosis than the mother cells 6.The homologous pairs of chromosomes need to be separated, to ensure copies go to the daughter cells.
