In the moss Polytrichum commune, the haploid chromosome number is 7. A haploid male gamete fuses with a haploid female gamete to

form a diploid cell that divides and develops into the multicellular sporophyte. Cells of the sporophyte then undergo meiosis to produce haploid cells called spores. What is the probability that an individual spore will contain a set of chromosomes all of which came from the male gamete? Assume no recombination.

Answer:

1/128

Explanation:

In a diploid individual, 2ⁿ possible gametes can be produced, where <em>n</em> is the haploid chromosome number.

From those possible gametes,

  • (\frac{1}{2})^n is the number of gametes that will contain maternal chromosomes only
  • (\frac{1}{2})^n is the number of gametes that will contain paternal chromosomes only
  • 1-2(\frac{1}{2})^n is the number of gametes that will contain a combination of both maternal and paternal chromosomes.

The probability that an individual spore will contain a set of chromosomes all of which came from the male gamete will be:

<h2>(\frac{1}{2})^7=\frac{1}{128}</h2>

A student is preparing a solution of 0.1 M Tris-Cl (pH 7.0) with 200 mM NaCl. To adjust the pH, the student started with concent
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The correct statements are C The pH is accurate but the solution will have excess salt. D The pH is accurate but the concentration of Tris will be incorrect

Explanation:

As the pH is finally maintained at 7 the pH for the buffer solution will be accurate but excess salt will be produced due to use of Both NaOH and HCl to make up the to 7.

As more volume of water is required at final step to make up the volume the concentration of tris will be incorrect.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

Explanation:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

-The body has too little carbon dioxide to maintain function.

-The body is using carbon dioxide instead of oxygen to make energy.

-Blood pressure has decreased, so less blood is being pumped to the muscles.

<em>The correct answer would be that </em><em>sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen</em><em> and t</em><em>he muscles in the body of Jon need more energy and therefore, more oxygen.</em>

At sea level, the atmospheric pressure easily allow oxygen to permeate the cells of the lung and diffuse into the blood. At high altitudes, air pressure is generally lower and permeation/diffusion through the cells of the lung into the blood becomes difficult.

<u>Without adequate oxygen, the body cannot generate energy needed for physical activities of muscles. Consequently, the sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen and the body system reacts by breathing heavily to compensate for the oxygen shortage.</u>
