Pairing of homologous chromosomes at metaphase of meiosis i appears to be critical for proper alignment, crossing over, and subsequent separation. this pairing is facilitated by sharing of sequence homology. if x and y chromosomes are so different, how can they achieve the necessary pairing?

Which of the following statements most accurately describes convergent evolution? the process in which two similar species evolve separately from each other and share similar characteristics the process in which a single species evolves into two or more new species the process in which two entirely different species evolve in response to each other the process in which two different species evolve separately from each other but still share similar characteristics

Which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? select the three correct statements.which statements about the fluid mosaic structure of a membrane are correct? select the three correct statements.the framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center.because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane.the diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions.the kinky tails of some proteins keep the membrane fluid by preventing the component molecules from packing solidly together.membranes include a mosaic, or mix, of carbohydrates embedded in a phospholipid bilayer.
