Meiosis is called reduction division. When does the reduction in chromosome number occur?

The reduction in chromosome number occurs during <u>meiosis I.</u>

Chromosomes are long molecules of DNA that contain some or all of an organism's genetic material. In most chromosomes, very long, thin strands of DNA are coated with packaging proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the histones are the most important of these proteins.

Within the nucleus of all cells, DNA molecules are packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly wrapped many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Another type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes from generation to generation. This is a two-step process in which the number of chromosomes is halved from 46 to 23 to form sperm and eggs.

How would an organism respond to a catastrophic event?
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Charles Darwin theorized that all species undergo a natural cycle of evolution in order for the species to survive and thrive within its given environment. In the case of a catastrophic event, Mother Nature will naturally find a way to support life and the organisms that are within her care.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

You need to know how the structures of plant tissues and organs are directly related to their roles in physiological processes.

   Plant organs are limited to roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit and cones.

   Physiological processes are limited to photosynthesis, cellular respiration, transpiration, and reproduction.

   Plant tissues are limited to meristematic, ground, dermal and vascular tissues.

   Plant structures are limited to cambium, guard cells, phloem, seed, stomata and xylem.

The following two genotypes are crossed: AaBbCc X+Xr AaBBcc X+Y, where a, b, and c represent alleles of autosomal genes and X+an
choli [55]

Answer:

1/64

Explanation:

The following genotypes were crossed: AaBbCc X+Xr and AaBBcc X+Y

If we asume that the autosomal genes are in different chromosomes, then they will assort independently during meiosis and gametogenesis. In that case, we can use the Multiplication Rule of Probability to obtain the probability of having a specific genotype in the progeny.<u> This rule states that when two or more events are independent, the probability of all them happening at the same time will be the result of the multiplication of the individual probabilities of each event.</u>

<u />

We can separate each gene in the cross to determine the genotypic ratios in the offspring, and then multiply the probabilities of the aaBbCc X+X+ genotypes to obtain the overall probability of having progeny with that genotype.

<h3><u>Aa x Aa </u></h3>

1/4 AA

2/4 Aa

1/4 aa

<h3><u>Bb x BB </u></h3>

1/2 BB

1/2 Bb

<h3><u>Cc x cc </u></h3>

1/2 Cc

1/2 cc

<h3><u> X+Xr x X+Y</u></h3>

1/4  X+X+

1/4  X+Y

1/4  X+Xr

1/4  XrY

The probability of having offspring with the aaBbCc X+X+ genotype will be: 1/4 × 1/2  × 1/2  × 1/4 = 1/64
