Answer:

The options:

a) 6

b) 6000

c) 6 x 10^19

d) 0.6

The CORRECT ANSWER IS a)

a) 6

Explanation:

Base pair changes

= genome size × frequency of a base pair change

Given,

genome size = 6 x 10^9 bp

frequency of a base pair change = 10^-9

=6 x 10^9 x 10^-9

= 6 × 10^9+(-9)

= 6 × 10^9-9

= 6 × 10^0

= 6 × 1

= 6 base pair changes

In meiosis, you end up with half the number of chromosomes and that makes sense because you get 23 from your dad and 23 from you
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Mendel's law of segregation states that every individual possesses two alleles, and only one allele from each parent is passed on to the offspring.  That means that you get 23 chromosomes from each of your parents.
