During meiosis but not during mitosis, which of the following is true? __.

A haploid gametes are produced that are identical in their allelic composition

B the cytoplasm divides

C chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase

D genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

E two identical daughter cells are produced

Answer:

D. genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

Explanation:

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. Meiosis occurs in germ cells, as a result; genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased. These cells (germ cells) are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.

In meiosis, the haploid gametes that are produced are not identical in their allelic composition.

In prophase 1, the chromosome pair up.

During metaphase, The chromosome pairs line up next to each other along the center (equator) of the cell.

That's what I got from it at least.

Question 6 You cross a true-breeding red-flowered snapdragon with a true-breeding white-flowered one. All of the FI are pink. Wh

muminat

Answer:

E (Red shows incomplete dominance over white)

Explanation:

This portrays a monohybrid cross involving a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. According to the question, a purebreeding red flowered (homozygous) plant is crossed with a purebreeding white flowered (homozygous) plant to produce an all pink flowered offspring. This phenomenon is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE.

Mendel, in his experiments, discovered that an allele can mask the expression of another in a heterozygous state. He called the allele that masks DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked RECESSIVE allele. However, exceptions like INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, has occurred in the sense that an allele does not completely mask the expression of its allelic pair, instead an intermediate phenotype, which is a combination/blending of both parental phenotypes is produced.

In this case, the red flowered snapdragon (RR) does not completely cover up the expression of white flower (rr), hence a hybrid/heterozygous offspring is produced that combines the phenotypic characteristics of both parents to form an intermediate flower colour (pink). Hence, it can be said that Red flower is incompletely dominant over white flower or no allele/trait is dominant or recessive to another.

Multicellular plants have levels of organization. What characteristics of cells makes this possible?

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The characteristics of cells to divide and convert into specialized cells makes it possible for the different levels of organizations to occur. Specialized cells perform specialized functions which are necessary for the body of each organism. The working of these specialized cells allows the formation of the specialized tissues and the levels of organizations continue. Hence, we can consider the ability of the cells to multiply and divide into specialized cells as the basic characteristic due to which levels of organization occur.
