Inheritance patterns cannot always be explained by Mendel’s models of inheritance. If a pair of homologous chromosomes fails to

separate during meiosis I, select the choice that shows the chromosome number of the four resulting gametes with respect to the normal haploid number (n)?a. N+1, n+1, n-1, n-1b. N+1, n-1, n, nc. N+1, n+1, n, nd. N+1, n-1, n-1, n-1

Answer:

A (n+1, n+1, n-1, n-1)

Explanation:

This disorder in chromosomal number is referred to as ANEUPLOIDY. Aneuploidy is a condition whereby one or more chromosomes are present in extra copies or deficient in number, but definitely not in a complete set i.e. neither diploid nor haploid. Aneuploidy, which is when an abnormal number of chromosomes occur in a cell, is caused by meiotic nondisjunction i.e. failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis.

Nondisjunction occurs when pairs of homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis I or sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis II. The occurrence of nondisjunction in meiosis I or II leads to different results in the daughter cells/gametes.

Since meiosis I is being considered in this question, if homologous chromosomes fail to separate during the anaphase of meiosis I, the result is two gametes that lack particular gametes (n-1) and two gametes with an extra copy of the chromosome (n+1)

That is, after cytokinesis, the four gametes will have a chromosomal number of n+1, n+1, n-1, n-1.

N.B: The number of chromosomes in a normal gamete is haploid (n).

This case of aneuploidy can lead to lethal cases. If a normal gamete (n) is fertilized by the gamete with an extra copy of chromosome (n+1), the resulting zygote will possess a condition called TRISOMY, also, when the normal gamete (n) fuses with a gamete with no copy of the chromosome (n-1), the resulting zygote will have a monosomy condition.

The correct answer is: a. n+1, n+1, n-1, n-1

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate properly during mitosis  or meiosis. There are three forms of nondisjunction:  

1. failure of a pair of homologous chromosomes to separate in meiosis I ,  

2. failure of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis II, and  

3. failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis.

As a consequence of nondisjunction abnormal chromosome numbers appears. If nondisjunction occurs during the meiosis I (anaphase I), this means that at least one pair of homologous chromosomes did not separate. The consequence is two cells that have an extra copy of one chromosome and two cells that lack that chromosome.

PLEASE HELP ASAP IN A RUSH!!!!What do osmosis and diffusion have in common? A. Both are the net movement of randomly moving mole
NARA [144]

The right answer is A.

Osmosis is a phenomenon that considers only the exchanges between two liquid solutions of different concentrations in liquid phases separated by a semi-permeable wall. Osmosis is a phenomenon of diffusion of matter, demonstrated when solvent molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions whose solute concentrations are different; the overall transfer of solvent is then from the least concentrated solution (hypotonic medium) to the most concentrated solution (hypertonic medium) to equilibrium (isotonic media).

The diffusion of matter, or chemical diffusion, refers to the natural tendency of a system to render uniform the chemical potential of each of the chemical species it contains.

Chemical diffusion is an irreversible transport phenomenon that tends to homogenize the composition of the medium.

Which part of the cell is selectively permeable? Why does it say so?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

cellular membranes

Explanation:

Cellular membranes are selectively permeable because they allow only certain molecules to cross into and out of the cell. The phospholipid bilayer is a selectively permeable membrane that surrounds all biological cells. The movement of molecules across the cell membrane bilayer can occur by passive transport (does not require energy) or active transport (requires energy). For example, water molecules pass passively through the cell membrane (passive transport), while other molecules pass through transmembrane proteins against a concentration gradient (active transport).

What is the difference of transcription and translation
vesna_86 [32]

The translation is the process of protein synthesis where the information on RNA is expressed in the form of polypeptide chains. Transcription is the first step in gene expression. The translation is the second and final step of gene expression. Transcription occurs before translation
