Y_Kistochka [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Diploid means 2n

Haploid means n

Here we have 2n=8 (because fruit fly has diploid cells with 8 chromosomes) to get to n which is haploid divide by 2, you get n=4

hjlf
The answer would be used batteries. You would be able to recycle the vegetable waste within fertilizing and/or throw it away safely by disposing it in a trashcan since it is not a hazard towards the environment. As for aluminum cans, they are recyclable and are easy to use again once it is filtered through the system. However, batteries are NOT recyclable nor easy to dispose because they can release Alkaline which can harm the environment.

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.

Diploblastic animals have an _________ as well as _________ symmetry.
Nata [24]
Diploblasty is a state of the blastula in which there are two essential germ layers: the ectoderm and endoderm. Diploblastic living beings are life forms which create from such a blastula and incorporate cnidaria and Ctenophora, earlier assembled together in the phylum Coelenterata, yet later comprehension of their disparities brought about their being put in discrete phyla.

To answer the above:

Diploblastic animals have ectoderm and an endoderm as well as radial symmetry.
