The amoeba has a much larger genome (C-value) because A large percentage of eukaryotic genomes is non-coding DNA, the amoeba has much more non-coding DNA than the fruit fly.

  • The amount of DNA in an organism's haploid genome is measured by the C-value. It varies greatly, often rising in C-value as organism complexity increases—from prokaryotes to invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants.
  • The so-called C-Value Paradox refers to the finding that genome size does not always rise in proportion to an organism's apparent level of complexity.
  • In comparison to prokaryotes (organisms without a nucleus), such as bacteria, eukaryotes, or species having a nucleus to hold their genetic material (DNA), do have larger genomes.
  • Only 4 million base pairs make up the best friend of microbiologists, E. coli. On the other hand, the fly, Drosophila Melanogaster, has 140 million base pairs. Clearly, a fly is more complicated than a bacterium.

If the DNA content of a diploid cell in prophase I is x, what would it be for the same cell at prophase II?
pentagon [3]
<span>A is the correct answer. Diploid cells all contain two sets of chromosomes. Prophase 1 occurs during the first phase of meiosis, a type of cell division, and prophase 2 is the same process, but this time occurring without chromosome reduplication. As a result, there is the original and duplicated cells, which makes two.</span>

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

As it is given that, a Mendelian cross is performed between two parents resulted by cross the parents. This suggests that the parents or P generation has zero recombination hence the genotype of Parents would be AA and aa in nature. Therefore, all the F1 generation offspring were Aa in nature. The selfing of the F1 offspring will be:

         A  a

A AA Aa

a Aa aa

Genotype: AA: Aa: aa :: 1:2:1

Phenotype: Dominant: recessive :: 3:1

How does anaphase 1 in meiosis differ from anaphase in mitosis
slega [8]

Answer:

The differecnce is in the amount of DNA present and what type. In meiosis you have a diffrent amount of DNA than mitosis and the DNA in meisosis has done crossing over aand is different than the original. Mitosis is exactly the same

Oceanic crust is best described as _______.
Valentin [98]
<span>The oceanic crust is part of the crust that is made fully out of basaltic rock and is several times thinner than the continental crust which is made out of granitic rock. Oceanic crust underlies Earth's oceans and is produced at divergent plate boundaries which are commonly referred to as mid-ocean ridges. As it grows from infilling magma and spreads away from the ridges, it will becomes cooler, thicker, and more dense, and will eventually sink into the mantle.</span>
