If a homologous pair of chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis I, what will be the result?

Biology
1 answer:
BabaBlast [244]4 years ago
5 0

Answer: A) 2 gametes will have 2 of these chromosome and 2 will have 0 of these chromosomes.

Explanation: Meiosis is a division process in sex cells. Meiosis has two stages: In Meiosis I duplicated homologous chromosomes (one pair from mother and one pair from father) are separated in two daughter cells. Later those cells begin meiosis II where chromatids of each chromosome are separated in two daughter cells. If homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis I, the result would be 2 diploid (contain two copies of that chromosome) gametes for that chromosome and 2 gametes without that chromosome.

Assume that the A and B loci are linked and separated by a distance of 20 map units on a chromosome (i.e., 20% recombination occ
N76 [4]

Answer:

The frequencies would be - AaBb= 2/4= 1/2.... Therefore AaBb= 50%

                                              - aabb=  2/4= 1/2.... Therefore aabb= 50%

Explanation:

The resulting F1 cross, AaBb, indicated that A is dominant over a, and B is dominant over b. Therefore a cross between AaBb and aabb would result to---

                                 AaBb                x               aabb

                     =       AaBb         AaBb       aabb        aabb

The awareness of being masculine or feminine as those traits are defined by culture.
Nina [5.8K]
It is very true that masculinity and femininity are very strongly dependent on the society in which these terms are used. While there are genetic differences underlying the phenotype of being more masculine (having a bigger jaw, more hair on the body), there are also a lot of societal factors determining what is considered to be masculine and what feminine in a society.

Scientists studied reproduction in the New Zealand mud snail to answer the question, “Are there benefits to reproducing sexually
vlabodo [156]

Answer: Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.

New Zealand mud snails reproduce through asexual and sexual modes of reproduction. Asexual reproduction allows these organisms to reproduce more number of offsprings. Asexual reproduction advantageous as these organisms faces natural disaster conditions like tide, drought results in the decrease in the population. Therefore, does not get mate to undergo sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction in these snails results in genetic variation in offsprings. Sexual reproduction results in increase in mutation rate in the genetic material being passed to offsprings because of resorting of genetic material being distributed from parent to offspring. This will result in genetic variations. Hence, parent will be different from offsprings.  In asexual reproduction offsprings are the clones of parents as there is no resorting of genetic material takes place.
