Alexxandr [17]1 year ago
8 0

The different number of maternal and paternal chromosomes possible will be 8. that is option A is correct.

Chromosomes are defined as the genetic material within the body. They are thread like structures within the DNA and are made of proteins. In general human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes out of which 22 are numbered while 1 is the sex chromosome. Gametes are genetic material that are generally haploid in nature and they carry only one chromosome along with them. According to the question, there are 6 diploid chromosomes present which means there are 3 pairs of chromosomes. So each gametes will have a total number of 3 chromosomal pairs irrespective of their type that is maternal or paternal. Therefore combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes are given by

Combination = 2ⁿ where n is pair of chromosomes and here n = 3

Combination = 2³ = 8

Which of the following are true of epigenetic changes?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

all of the above

Explanation:

Epigenetic alterations are modifications of the genome transmitted during cell division, which do not involve changes in the DNA sequence, are hereditary and are capable of modifying gene expression. In addition, they are temporary modifications that allow DNA to be transcribed and have the ability to move histones to open or close a chromosomal region. There are three main mechanisms of epigenetic alterations: DNA methylation, histone modifications and genomic imprinting.

Crawfish are shelled organisms that live in shallow freshwater rivers. They can have antennae of different lengths. Two parents
vredina [299]

The phenotype of antenna in crawfish depends on the protein amount in the antenna length. The offspring have different phenotype than their parent because of the amount of protein translated from each parent gene is determining in this.

The gene determines the amount of protein to be present in the antenna to determine its length.

Explanation:

Data given:

Two crawfish parent = medium length antennae, genotyoe Ll

One offspring = short antenna, genotype ll

one offspring = long antennae, genotype LL

The traits in offspring is shown as:

       L    l

L   LL    Ll

l   Ll     ll

The proportion of allele present in the gene determined the length of the antenna in crawfish.

The difference in length of the antenna in crawfish is due to the amount of protein for the phenotype present in the individual. The amount of protein to be expressed in the crawfish is given by both the parents. The tendency of protein expresed define the phenotype of antenna length.

Explain the independent assortment accurs in cells and explains its importance
Pavlova-9 [17]
Recombination or crossing over occurs during prophase i. homologue chromosomes- 1 inherited from each parent pair along their lengths gene by gene. Independent Assortment is the process where the chromosomes move randomly to seperate poles during meiosis

What is the role of RNA polymerase?
juin [17]
<span> RNA polymerase is commonly know as DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. It catalyzes the transcription of DNA to synthesize precursors of mRNA and most snRNA and microRNA. It is found in the core of eukaryotic cells. One of which combined rRNA in the nucleolus while the rest of the chemical blends other RNA in the nucleoplasm, some portion of the core yet outside the nucleolus.</span>
