Mice that are deficient for Apaf1 or caspase-9 are defective for cytochrome dependent apoptosis. Apoptosis is a critical event in development, allowing excess brain cells to be weeded out. The extent of brain overgrowth and the size of the cranial protrusions indicate that the pruning process in the developing brain must be massive. The dramatic effects of the deficiencies of Apaf1 and caspase-9 suggest that the cytochrome c-dependent apoptotic pathway the intrinsic pathway must be critically important in brain development.

Is selection more effective against recessive alleles in haploid or diploid organisms?
svet-max [94.6K]
The selection of more effective which is against recessive alleles in haploid organisms than diploid organisms. This is because haploid organisms contain a single set of alleles if a deleterious allele is present in haploid organisms which will produce its effect immediately as there will be no dominant allele which can prevent the expression of the recessive allele as it happens in diploids. Recessive allele will not produce its effect in presence of the dominant allele in the case of heterozygote which is Aa.
Where there is haploid the selection will be more effective when removing recessive alleles in the population. It is the homozygous recessive condition which as aa then the selection will act against recessive alleles.

4. Your classmate is viewing a sample
Serhud [2]
I would recommend to move the slide away from the end of the viewing part of the microscope, so that if the lab partner were to adjust too much, that the viewing part of the microscope wouldn’t collide and passively crack the slide.
