What is one difference between a primary oocyte and a secondary oocyte in humans

Biology

Answer:

Oocyte refers to the female germ cell which is involved in the process of reproduction.  

In humans, the primary oocyte is diploid in nature, that is, it contains 46 chromosomes as it is formed by mitotic divisions of the oogonium.

In contrast, secondary oocyte is haploid in nature, that is, it contains only 23 chromosomes as it is formed from primary oocyte after it has completed its meiosis I.

Secondary oocyte then undergoes meiosis II to produce a mature ovum.

For all questions, assume that you have genes for beak color, tail-feather length, and feather color all linked (located) on the
Effectus [21]

1. If we cross YyLl (heterozygous parent with dominant traits) with yyll (homozygous parent with recessive traits)

P:  YyLl  x  yyll

F1 generation: YyLl: 400 Yyll: 100 yyLl: 100 yyll: 400

Recombinant offspring are those children whose genes contain a non-parental allele combination  (neither allele group is directly inherited from either parent). This happens when genes are located on the same chromosome but are so far apart from one another so that their alleles get crossed over during meiosis. In this case, Yyll and yyLl are the recombinant.

2. Calculation of distance between Y and L.  

The numbers of the two recombinant types is 200 (100 Yyll + 100 yyLl) and 800 parental offspring.

Total number of offspring is 1000.

So: 200/1000*100=20 map units.

There is 20 percent recombinant offspring frequency.
