By matching the absorption spectrum of pigments in chloroplasts with the action spectrum of photosynthesis, you can a. determine why oxygen is released during photosynthesis. When a photon of light strikes a pigment molecule, the energy of the photon can be a. transmitted by the pigment. The process of photorespiration occurs because a. rubisco binds ribulose diphosphate and oxygen, causing the hydrolysis of ribulose diphosphate. The enzymes responsible for the Calvin-Benson pathway of photosynthesis are found a. within the thylakoid membranes. A checkpoint exists after DNA replication has occurred.
Homologous chromosomes cross over.
Chromatids separate prior to being moved by the spindle apparatus to different regions of the cell. The DNA of the nucleus replicates prior to the cell committing to divide. Some organisms are capable of asexual or sexual reproduction. Under favorable growth conditions, asexual reproduction generally occurs, but when life gets tough, the organism switches to sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is simpler and more rapid, allowing a larger number of offspring to be produced in a shorter period of time.
