Answer:
Chromosomes are systemized structures of proteins and DNA. It have a string like shape, mainly located within the nucleus of both plant and animal cells. DNA is concentrated in the chromosomes. In 1902, Sutton and Boveri proposed that chromosomes has a part in heredity opposing Mendel's theory of segregation and independent assortment.
One major function of the chromosome is to keep the DNA from being altered or negatively influenced during cell division. It ensures accurate distribution of the DNA during the breaking down of genetic material. In mitosis, the chromosomes are duplicated and dispersed to daughter cells so that each cell attains a diploid set of chromosomes totally of the same nature to that of its parent cell. In meiosis, the resultant cells would attain a chromosome from each chromosome pair this will lead to half the number of chromosomes. This process is important for the offspring being produced to have the same characteristics of the parents which would results from the fusion of the sperm and egg of the parents.
Answer:
a. S represents allele for short hair while s represents allele for long hair.
b. Ss (male) × ss (female)
c. 50% Ss, 50% ss
d. 3 long hair (ss), 3 short hair (Ss)
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s).
a. Letter "S" will represent the allele for short hair while letter "s" will represent the allele for long hair.
b. According to this question, a heterozygous male is crossed with a long-haired female. The genotype of the male guinea pig is "Ss" while that of the female is "ss". (see attachment for the punnet square)
c. The possible genotypes of the offsprings in this cross are: Ss and ss, each carrying 50% each as they are produced in a ½ Ss: ½ ss.
d. Since 50% of the offsprings will be both short haired and long haired, If they have six babies, 3 of them will be short-haired while 3 of them will also be long-haired.
Answer:
- <u>Eukaryotes</u> are organisms that contain more than one cell with membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus.
- Organisms that contain only one cell and do not contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles are known as <u>prokaryotes</u>.
Explanation:
According to their structural and functional complexity, organisms can be classified into eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
- <em><u>Eukaryotic organisms</u></em><em> are formed by cells that have a true nucleus -where DNA is located- and specialized structures called organelles, with a system of endomembranes that compartmentalize the intracellular space. These organisms are usually pluricellular, given the ability of eukaryotic cells to group together to form tissues.
</em>
- <em><u>Prokaryotic organisms</u></em><em> are single cells, lacking a nucleus - genetic material is scattered in the cytoplasm - and do not possess organelles. The prokaryotic cells that form these organisms are incapable of binding together, so they do not form tissues.</em>
Some unicellular organisms are prokaryotic cells, like some parasitic microorganisms, such as amoebas.
