Answer:

Chromosomes will not align at the equator of the cell, and subsequently will not separate to opposite poles.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a cellular division that results in daughter cells with identical copies of the genetic material as the parent cell. Mitosis is characterized by different stages viz: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. The centromere is a very important part of the cell during division as it produces microtubules that grows out and bind to the kinetochore of each chromosome, hence, aligning them at the CELL PLATE (cell equator) and subsequently pulls them apart to opposite poles. This alignment and pulling apart occurs during METAPHASE and ANAPHASE respectively.

Mutation is any change that occurs in the nuceleotide sequence of the genetic material (DNA). If a change/mutation occurs leading to a defective or non-functional centromere, the centromere will no longer be able to produce microtubules that will bind to the kinetochores of each chromosome. Therefore, the chromosomes will be unable to align at the equator/middle of the cell and most importantly, inability to separate to opposite poles, which is the main point of Mitosis.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The movement of glucose across the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion one of the form of passive transport because it does not require the energy to transport the glucose molecule across the cell membrane and the transport is along the concentration gradient.

In facilitated diffusion the passage of molecules if facilitated by a carrier protein or a channel protein. The rate of transport of molecules in facilitated diffusion is greater than simple diffusion.  

Through facilitated diffusion, some polar and charged molecules can cross the cell membrane without the expense of energy.

Part D-Relationship of allele behavior to meiosis During which part of meios s (mesoses Ⅰ or meiosis ll) do the two alleles of a
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- Meiosis I, anaphase I

Explanation:

Alleles are the variant alternative forms of a gene which determines the trait of an organism. The trait or phenotype is expressed only when the two alleles controlling a single trait on separate chromosomes are aligned in a complementary position.

During gamete formation, the alleles controlling a trait segregate independently of each other. This segregation of alleles takes place during Anaphase I of meiosis I. During anaphase, the sister chromatids are separated by the mitotic spindles so that the chromosomes can reach the opposite poles.

Thus, Meiosis I, anaphase I am the correct answer.
