Meiosis II will have $18$ chromosomes.

Meiosis:

Somatic cells divide during meiosis, a process in which the genetic makeup or quantity of chromosomes in the daughter cells is maintained.
In sexually reproducing organisms, a kind of cell division known as meiosis results in a decrease in the number of chromosomes in gametes (the sex cells, or egg and sperm). Human body cells, also known as somatic cells, have two sets of chromosomes and are diploid (one from each parent).
A single cell splits twice during the meiosis process, resulting in four cells with half the original genetic material. These cells—sperm in men and eggs in women—are our sex cells.

In a population with two alleles, B and b, the allele frequency of B=0.59. What would be the frequency of the heterozygotes if t

Levart [38]

Answer:

0.483

Explanation:

The given population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If the gene has two alleles, the sum total of the frequencies of these two alleles will be one.

Therefore, the total of the frequency of allele B and frequency of allele b will be 1. f(B) + f(b)=1

If the frequency of allele "B" is 0.59, then the frequency of allele "b" will be=1-0.59= 0.41

The frequency of heterozygous genotype in the population= 2pq

p= frequency of the dominant allele

q= frequency of the recessive allele

So, 2pq= 2 x 0.59 x 0.41 = 0.483

How can insulin deficiency lead to an increase in blood glucose concentration?

MakcuM [25]

When insulin is deficient , GLUT4 transporters are not inserted into the cell membranes , glucose is not transported into the cells and the blood glucose concentration increases.

Insulin deficiency provides more amino acid and glycerol substrates for glucose synthesis ie increased gluconeogenesis .

With a deficiency of insulin, there is both increased hepatic glucose production through increased glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis as well as decreased glucose use. The result is hyperglycemia.
