Answer:

Alec Jeffreys and the Pitchfork murder case: the origins of DNA profiling

British geneticist Alec Jeffreys began working in 1977 on a technique that could identify individuals through samples of their DNA. In 1984, he and colleagues devised a way to use a newly discovered property of DNA, isolated areas of great variability between individuals called restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP), for forensic identification—the original DNA fingerprint.

In 1986, police asked Jeffreys for help in finding a man who had raped and killed two girls. DNA tests exonerated the primary suspect. Through a genetic dragnet, police found the perpetrator, Colin Pitchfork, who gave himself away when he asked a friend for a substitute blood sample.

Within a year, genetic fingerprinting was making the unique molecular structures of victims and suspects visible in criminal investigations around the world. Today, RFLP-based DNA analysis is being supplanted by newer techniques of genetic identification.

1. According to Model 1, in what type of organs are the cells that enter meiosis I found? 2. Considering what you already know a
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

1.) Sex organs

2.) DNA replication

3.) Sister chromatids

4.) Two identical daughter cells

5.) Late prophase 1

6.) Tetrads

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in living organisms which involves the division of a single cell to produce four cells containing half the original amount of the parent genetic information. An example of organs that enter meiosis is the SEX CELLS.

Mitosis is another type of cell division that leads to the production of two daughter cells which are genetically identical to the parent cell. During interphase before a cell proceeds to division, DNA replication must occur. This is a process DNA uses to make a copy of itself during cell division.

Chromosomes are genetic material which occurs in pairs known as the SISTER CHROMATIDS

PROPHASE in the stage the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells

During late prophase 1 the pairs of homologous chromosomes come together to form two chromosomes and four chromatids, with one chromosome originating from each parent.

Once the chromosomes have formed a pair they are called TETRADS

What is the best habitat for tape worm​
timofeeve [1]

Answer:  Tapeworms live in almost all land, sea, and freshwater habitats Tapeworms also generally inhabit the intestines of humans and animals. They have a series  of hooks on one end that they use to attach to the intestine to get nourishment from the host.

Explanation:

Most adult tapeworms live in the intestines of the final hosts, but a few species live in the body cavity.
