Let’s suppose a sheep that provided the oocyte for reproductive cloning was homozygous for a gene that causes a small head. This

gene follows a maternal effect pattern of inheritance. The oocyte had its nucleus removed and then was fused with a mammary cell that was homozygous for the nonmutant allele, which results in a normal-sized head. Would you expect the resultant lamb to have a small or normal-sized head? Explain your choice.

Answer:

Small head

Explanation:

Since the genes are located in the nucleus of a cell which has being removed (but some genes are still located in the mitochondria of the ocyte) from its ocyte to fuse it with with another nucleus. Since the cell follows a maternal inheritance of gene, it would have a small head because of the presence genes in the mitochondria.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is: it would create a polyploidy.

Explanation:

Polyploidy consists of an organism or a cell having more than 2 pairs of chromosomes, which in most species (including humans) is abnormal and not compatible with life.

An organism with 3 sets of chromosomes -69 in total- (instead of 46) has a triploidy. In humans, this happens when there's an extra haploid set from one of the parents.

An organism with 4 sets of chromosomes -92 in total- has tetraploidy.

These polyploidies result in miscarriage.

rewona [7]

Tumors are caused due to uncontrolled growth of cells. Thus a mitosis inhibitor could be effective medication to treat tumor because it will inhibit cell proliferation and development of tumor.

Explanation:

  • Tumors are  mass of tissue that developed as a result of uncontrolled cell division.
  • Cell division is a continuous process in our body and it replaces old and damaged cells with new one.
  • But in case of tumors the cell division  takes place in uncontrollable manner and continues to add cells to the tissue while the cell death do not take place.
  • Ultimately an unwanted overgrown mass of cell develops that hinders with the normal functioning of the body.
  • Tumor are classified as benign tumor and malignant tumors.
  • Both these tumors need to be treated as they develop as an unwanted hindrance to the body metabolism.
  • The best way to check the growth of tumor is to inhibit the cell division in the tumor tissue.
  • Thus a mitotic inhibitor which will inhibit mitosis could be a good medication for treatment of tumors.
