A cell with three pairs of chromosomes has the genotype AaBbCc, such that each pair of alleles is on a different pair of chromos

omes. If this cell were to undergo meiotic division, how many genetically different types of gametes could be produced?

Answer:

8 genetically different types of gametes.

Explanation:

This is typical heterozygotic trihybrid individual i.e. an individual with three pairs of contrasting characters possessing different alleles on each gene. This is similar to Mendel's observation of F1 hybrid.

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles get sorted into gametes independently of one another. Hence, this hybrid (AaBbCc) with three unlinked genes produces 8 genetically different gametes after undergoing meosis viz:

ABC, ABc, AbC, Abc, aBC, aBc, abC, and abc.

The number of gametes formed by this trihybrid heterozygote (AaBbCc) is determined by the formula 2^n, where n represents the number of characters.

Since this is a trihybrid cell involving three unlinked genes, 2^3 = 8

i.e. 8 gametes will be produced as stated earlier.

Please help!What are the roles of a decomposer? Check all that apply.
9966 [12]

Answer:

decomposer decomposes :) so it breaks down the organic matter into simpler compounds. it's very important process because complex compounds that build living organisms are not absorbable for other organisms, thus chemical cycling wouldn't be possible and the whole ecosystem would shut down. dead plants and animals would be everywhere and new organisms couldn't be born/grown. mold breaks down dead organic matter like dead trees. as the result simple compounds come into existence and can be assimilated by plants
