True or false? A mating between a tetraploid individual and a diploid individual produces biologically fit offspring.

Biology

Katyanochek1 [597]3 years ago
5 0

A cross between a diploid individual and a tetraploid individual produces triploid offspring.  There are many species of plants that are triploid, but those come from crosses between two triploid individuals. In those cases, the chromosomes from one parent match up with the chromosomes from the other parent just fine. The same is not true with a cross of a tetraploid and a diploid.  In that case, one third of the chromosomes are unmatch, causing many offspring to die, to be sterile, or to be generally unfit.  Long story short, the answer you seek is False.

how does the random alignment of homologous chromosomes contribute to genetic variation in a population
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation, the raw material for evolution.

During metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are lined up at the equator plate of the cell in order to be separated (assorted) in anaphase I.

The separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I is random. Daughter cells receive unique gene combinations from an original parent cell.

Subsequently, haploid cells got from two successive meiotic divisions fuse during fecundation to form a diploid (2n) zygote.

During prophase I, non-sister chromatids interchange genetic material by a process known as recombination. This genetic process also increases genetic variation in daughter cells.

In conclusion, the assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation.

sodium, chloride, and potassium in cells and body fluids are examples of: question 54 options: phytates. electrolytes. condensat
Troyanec [42]

(b) electrolytes are what sodium, chloride, and potassium in cells and body fluids are examples of.

When dissolved in water or bodily fluids, a substance called an electrolyte separates into ions (particles having electrical charges). The ions sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, and phosphate are only a few examples.

The many electrolytes include sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, and magnesium. They come from the meals you consume and the liquids you drink.

Your body's electrolyte levels might get too high or too low. When your body's water balance changes, this may occur. The amount of water you consume and lose should be equal. If something throws off this equilibrium, you can be dehydrated or have too much water on your body (overhydration).

Here is another question with an answer similar to this about electrolytes: brainly.com/question/28699046

If a suitcase has a mass of 20 kg, what is the force of gravity acting on it?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Force = 15.4N

Explanation:

Force=Mass x Acceleration

Force = 20Kg x Acceleration

20Kg x 0.77m/s = 15.4N

<em>Answer is entirely dependent on what the acceleration is.</em>
