Answer:
<u><em>The correct option is C) Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.</em></u>
Explanation:
There are two main processes by which cell divides:
1) Mitosis
2) Meiosis
All the cells of the body divide by the process of mitosis except the sex cells.<em> Sex cells divide by the process of meiosis.</em>
Meiosis can e described as a type of cell division in which four daughter cells are formed each having half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This is because the cell has to attain half of the maternal and half of the paternal chromosomes at the time of fertilization.
Crossing over and independent assortment are the phenomenon of meiosis which bring genetic diversity among parent and children.
Answer:
The correct answer is ''METAPHASE I.''
Explanation:
Metaphase I is the stage in which chromosomal studies are generally performed, because its morphology is very clear. The chromosomes, moved by the mitotic spindle, are placed in the center, between the two asters and form the so-called metaphase plate, in which the chromosomes are positioned in such a way that the kinetochore of each sister chromatid are oriented towards the opposite poles. Keeping chromosomes on the cell equator implies a balance between the forces of the microtubules that tend to move the kinetochores toward opposite poles, so positioning them in the center involves a great deal of energy.In each kinetochore, between 20-30 microtubules can be anchored, which exert traction force towards the pole from which they come, so the metaphase plate is maintained by the balance between the opposite forces of the poles on the chromosomes, which hold their sister chromatids by centromeric cohesin.
What question are you talking about?
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Regarding the situation explained in the question that "African Americans are not affected by the malaria disease because of a specific genetic trait that they possess and that trait provides them with protection" can be explained by the answer given in option B.
Being heterozygous, meaning possessing a dominant and a recessive allele regarding that genetic trait, in terms of sickle cell trait which is a gene that causes the individual's blood cells to be sickle shaped and balanced polymorphism which means carrying two different versions of a gene is an argument that is enough to prove that the above statement is incorrect because it means they have blood cells that can be affected by the malaria disease.
I hope this answer helps.
