Gametes or sex cells (sperm and eggs) contain half the number of chromosomes that exist in autosomal cells; they are haploid. Therefore in the case where the diploid number of chromosomes is 52, the haploid number would be half of that, meaning 52/2 = 26.
Answer:
Two European men and two Polynesian women settled on a previously uninhabited tropical island. All four of the settlers have brown eyes, a dominant trait, but one of the Europeans is heterozygous and carries the recessive gene for blue eyes. No new settlers arrive,and nobody leaves the island.After a few generations,the percentage of blue-eyed individuals increases from the original zero to 25 percent.This is probably due to which of the following factors?
genetic drift
Explanation:
Genetic drift entails when there are changes in the gene frequency which occur in a gene that is existing. From the analogy above, it is a known fact that only gneetic drift could allow such to happen as mutation will only occur with a sudden change of gene which is not the case described above
Answer:
If they didn't differentiate then the stem cells would stay the same type and if it somehow kept multiplying then they would just be a massive blob with no actual form or way of functioning.
Scientists use fossils to study earth history by identifying the fossil and what era it came from. By knowing what era the fossil came from and what location it was found, scientists can make assumptions about the earth formation at that time.
Answer:
When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Likewise, energy is also released when a phosphate is removed from ADP to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
