An animal has a diploid chromosome number of 60. Suppose that the first meiotic division of a germ cell is normal, but a single

dyad in one of the two daughter cells undergoes non-disjunction in meiosis II. How many chromosomes would be present in each of the four gametes that result from that meiosis?

Answer:

Two gametes end up with 30 chromosomes, one gamete will have 31 and one will have 29.

Explanation:

During meiosis, a single diploid cell divides into four haploid cells with half the chromosome number than the parent cell.

During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate and the chromosome number in the two daughter cells goes down by half. During meiosis II, the "sister" chromatids separate, and the chromosome number in the respective daughter cells remains the same.

Non-disjunction of a single dyad in meiosis II causes that one of the daughter cells will have an extra chromosome, and another will be lacking one. The two other gametes will be normal.

I drew a simple example of what would happen during meiosis of a 2n=4 cell if there was non-disjunction in a single dyad during meiosis II.

Orlov [11]
Virions are composed largely of nucleic acids and protein. In order to produce more virions, the host cell must synthesize more of these parts through NA replication and protein synthesis.

Gemiola [76]
The reaction to produce soap can be completed by cooking animal fat with a very strong solution of SODIUM HYDROXIDE.
This process is called saponification. Chemically, animal fat and strong solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide mixed together to produce soap and glycerol.<span />

Aldosterone ________. A) is secreted by the posterior pituitary B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption C) presence increas
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is an hormone secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is situated at the superior poles of the right and left kidneys.

Aldosterone regulates sodium homeostasis and as such helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.

Aldosterone is secreted in response to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) to increase sodium reabsorption from urine, sweat, and the gut. Also excessive aldosterone levels (too high sodium) can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).
