A geneticist analyzes the four products of a meiosis for an Aa Bb plant and finds that two of the products have the AB alleles a

nd the other two products have the ab alleles. Is this consistent with the principle of independent assortment? Assume that crossing over does not occur.

Answer:

No, this is not consistent with the principle of independent assortment.

Explanation:

The principle of independent assortment states that alleles from different genes assort independently. This means that if a plant has a genotype Aa Bb, all four alleles (A, a, B, and b) are going to segregate equally, so we will have the following four gametes after meiosis:

- AB

- Ab

- aB

- ab

If the researcher finds that two of the four products are AB, probably there would be a deviation of Mendel's laws.

Insect wings may have begun to evolve as lateral extensions of the body that were used as heat dissipaters for thermoregulation.
Mariulka [41]

Exaptation

Explanation:

In this example, the lateral extensions that developed were meant for thermoregulation.

But these became sufficiently large to support gliding through the air and later on were used for flight.

Thus the structure assumed a function for which it was not meant and its original function shifted to a completely different dimension giving rise to modern insect wings. So we can say that this is an example of Exaptation.

crimeas [40]
Beginning in the mid 1600's Earth entered into a mini-ice age. 1815 was known as the "year without a summer" and snow fell in many European countries during the summer months. The prolonged climate change is attributed to low sun spot activity, while the summer snow is believed to be the result of

A major volcanic eruption.

Which chromosomal defect is caused when part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome?
LiRa [457]

The right answer is inversion.

Inversion is a genetic mutation characterized by the end-to-end reversal of a portion of chromatid on a chromosome.

In other words, it is a double break then it is replaced after rotation of 180 ° of a chromosome segment (backward insertion).

We distinguish :

Paracentric inversions:  The centromere in the chromosome is not included in the inversion.

Pericentric inversions:  The centromere is included in the inversion which transforms a metacentric chromosome into an acrocentric chromosome.
