The house fly, Musca domestica, has a haploid chromosome number of 6. How many chromatids should be present in a diploid, somati

Answer:

12

12

24

Explanation:

<em><u>Musca</u></em> <u><em>domestica</em></u> is the scientific name of an animal popularly known as Housefly.  From the question, it is  known that this organism has a haploid chromosome number of 6.

In a diploid chromosomes, the number of chromatids that will be present will be twice of that in haploid.

Since haploid (n) = 6, diploid (2n) will be; 2 × 6 = 12

Somatic cells on the other hand also exhibit diploid number of chromosomes, again it means we will have (2n) = 2 × 6 = 12

In metaphase cell, cells do make sure they complete the S'phase of the cell cycle before cellular division.Therefore, the DNA present in the chromatids in the S'phase actively engage in chromatids doubling, as a result, 24 chromatids (i.e 12 × 2= 24) exists in the metaphase cell.

Does DNA undergoes translation to produce proteins . RNA undergoes mutation to produce cell walls
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

No

2. Yes

Explanation:

This is because DNA undergo transcription to produce RNA and RNA undergo translation to produce protein. Translation is the process where mRNA molecule is used as a template to produce protein.

RNA undergo mutation more than DNA and this is because the enzymes found in RNA viruses and participate in copying viral genomes is why it occur so. These enzymes does not have the abilities to recognize DNA damage that enzymes in most organisms have.

A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man. What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder in which a person's blood do not clots and he can bleed to death even after minor injuries because blood will keep running due to a small cut.

It is a recessive trait which means that even if one normal gene is present along with Hemophiliac gene, the person will not have the disease and he will be the carrier.

Question: What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?

If a woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man, their genotypes can be denotes as :

Here H, indicate normal gene and small h indicate defected (hemophilia) gene.

Parents:                      XHXh                   X           XhY

Offspring:                   XHXh : XHY:  XhXh:  XhY

Phenotype of offspring:

XHXh:  The child will be daughter and normal (25 % chances)

XHY:     The child will be son and normal (25 % chances)

XhXh:   The child will be girl and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

XhY:      The child will be son and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

Hope it helps!

What are the most useful bones for determining biological sex, and age of a skeleton? Answer each one individually, they are not
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The human pelvis Is use for determining sex of skeletal remains. The woman pelvis provide optimal space for birth canal which is shown in the morphology and relationship of it's different part. Skull is also use.

The fourth ribs is use for determining the age of skeletal remains.

Explanation:

The human pelvis is use to determine the biological sex of skeletal remains. The woman pelvis is wider than man's and it provide space for birth canal.

The fourth ribs is use to estimate the age of skeletal remains as the cartilage between the ribs and sternum gradually turn as time goes on. The features of the head can also be use to estimate the age of skeletal remains.
