Answer:

256

Explanation:

If there are 2 pairs of chromosomes Aa and Bb, there are 4 possibilities for independent assortment of gametes:

A w B, aith with b, A with b and a with B.

If there are 3 pairs of chromosomes Aa, Bb and Cc, there are 8 possibilities:

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

This corresponds to 2^n, where n= the number of chromosomes.

Therefore, with 8 chromosomes, the possibilities are 2^8 = 256

This is for each parent.

Answer:

2n = 28

2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 256

256 × 256 = 65,536

The cell cycle of yeast cells grown in the nutrient-poor environment is approximately what percent of the cell cycle of yeast ce
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Upon nutrient limitation, budding yeast will produce daughter cells less than 20% of the mother cell size. This asymmetric division may select for growth functions that are efficient over a larger range in cell sizes, such as exponential growth. In turn, efficient growth over a large size range lessens the pressure to have precise size control.

Explanation:

In wild-type cells growing in nitrogen-rich medium, the size threshold to enter mitosis is high, and the G1/S size control is cryptic because cell division produces daughter cells with a size greater than the minimum required to initiate S phase. In these conditions, G2 is long and G1 is short. However, the cell size threshold to enter mitosis is greatly reduced when wild-type cells are shifted to medium with a poor nitrogen source, such as minimal medium with proline, isoleucine, or phenylalanine. In these conditions, wild-type cells initiate mitosis at a reduced cell size, generating two daughter cells that are smaller than the critical size threshold required to progress through G1/S

What are a variety of instruments needed to measure change in the climate system
elena-s [515]

Climate change cannot be measured with a single instruments but require thousands of measuring devices that spread across the globe, land and under the sea. Thus,parameters measured in climate change includes: Rainfall, Sunshine hours, Temperature, Relative humidity, Atmospheric pressure, Wind speed . 

However, there are various instruments used for the measuring of climate change and they can be classified as follows: weather balloons and buoys, thermometers, wind anemometers, Manual rain gauges, transmitting rainfall gauges and Automatic Weather Stations
