<span>If each of the pairs of
chromosomes was heterozygous (what gives you the highest potential
number of different gametes), then the number of possible gametes
increases from 4 to 8 for a diploid organism. To figure out how many
are possible, raise the number of homologous chromsomes (2 for a diploid
organism) to the power of the number of chromosomes. So if you have
two different chromosomes (A and B), raise 2 to the 2nd power (or
multiply 2 x 2) and you have 4. If you have chromosomes A, B, and C,
then you have 2^3, or 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
To show possible combinations, AaBb gives you AB, Ab, aB, or ab. AaBbCc
gives possible gametes of ABC, ABc, AbC, Abc, aBC, aBc, abC, and abc. </span>

C) I and III only just got this question on usa test prep and therefore i'm right
Answer:
<em>The correct options are:</em>
<em>Prior to process 1, DNA should copy itself to allow the cell to divide.</em>
<em>Between processes 1 and 2, the mRNA must be modified before leaving the nucleus.</em>
Explanation:
For eukaryotes, the mRNA is made in the nucleus from the DNA. This process in known as transcription. The process of making proteins from the mRNA takes place in the ribososmes of the cytoplasm. This process is known as translation. The mRNA has to be modified before it is transported for translation. Otherwise, the mRNA will be degraded by the enzymes of the nucleus.
