ASAP PLS There are lots of big words in genetics! One way to start thinking about the process of meiosis is to ask yourself some

questions.
If two parents are contributing genetic material to their offspring, why don’t the genes and chromosomes double in each generation?

If each parent has two sets of genes and chromosomes, why do their offspring receive only one set from each parent?

Answer:

1) the genes and chromosomes do not double after each generations because parental sex cells are haploid and only contain one set of chromosomes. During fertilization the two cells fuse to form a diploid zygote with two copies of genes and chromosomes. For example a normal human has 46 chromosomes (2 copies of 23 chromosomes) during reproduction gametes which contain 23 chromosomes (haploid) fuse to form an offspring with the correct number of chromosomes ( 23 + 23 = 46).

2) offspring only receive one set of chromosomes from each parent so to maintain the chromosome number of humans. If this did not happen you would not be the same species.

You have a 15kb plasmid. EcoRI cuts the plasmid into 7kb and 8kb pieces, and BamHI cuts the plasmid into 1kb and 14kb pieces. If
Harman [31]

Answer:

a. Bands at 1kb, 6kb and 8kb

Explanation:

The EcoRI and BamHI are the restriction enzymes which cut the DNA sequence especially a plasmid at specific sites called the restriction sites.

The restriction enzymes produces bands of specific length therefore these restriction enzymes are used to estimate the approximate length of the DNA.

In the given question, the

1. EcoRI- produces two strands of 7 kb and 8 kb

2. BamHI- produces two strands of 1kb and 14kb

This shows that the length of DNA sequence is 15kb

But when the DNA strand are digested with both the enzymes simultaneously then it will produce three bands as:

i) 14 kb can be broken down in 2 bands of 6 kb and 8 kb

ii) 1 kb band is already produced by the Bam HI.

This shows that 1+6+8= 15 kb

Thus, Option-A is correct.
