The stages of meiosis are classified into two phases. explain why there is in need of two phases

4 0

The two phases meiosis is divided into is Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Because Meiosis is not asexual reproduction is uses sexual reproduction by combining the chromosomes of the mother and father. Since each parent give 23 chromosomes to make the whole 46 a human needs, when the chromosomes come together they create tetrads. these are pairs of replicated chromosomes. There are 2 phases because the first phase separates the tetrads leaving the two sister chromatids. During Meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated like in Mitosis. Overall, the reason that there are two phases is because the maternal and paternal gametes give replicated chromosomes to the zygote.

What are three meathods of CO2 transport in the blood?

The three methods of carbon dioxide transport in the blood are dissolution in blood plasma, binding to hemoglobin, and carried in the form of bicarbonate. About 7% of the carbon dioxide is dissolved in the blood plasma. The majority of the remaining 93% is carried as part of the bicarbonate buffer system while the rest binds to hemoglobin.

In ducks, the trait for normal feathers is dominant to the trait for silky feathers. If

vesna_86 [32]

Answer: The genotype ratio is 2Ff : 2ff

The phenotype ratio is two normal feathered birds to two silky feathered birds.

Explanation: Let F represent the gene for normal feather and f represent the gene for silky feather. F is dominant while f is recessive, therefore a male that is hybrid for trait of normal feather is heterozygous and will have a genotype of Ff, a female that is homozygous for silky feather will have a genotype of ff.

A cross between Ff and ff will yield 2Ff birds and 2ff birds. Since F is dominant, a bird having genotype of Ff will manifest outwardly as blue feathered birds while ff will manifest outwardly as silky feathered birds because f is recessive and must occur in a homozygous condition in order to manifest phenotypically. Therefore, the genotype ratio is 2Ff: 2ff.
