Why is it important for the chromosomes to condense during mitosis?

Biology
1 answer:
likoan [24]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer</u>:

It is important for the chromosomes to condense during mitosis to facilitate chromosome movement.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The chemical called colchicine is found to be used during the process of mitosis, so as to freeze the cells, which can stop or prevent the movement of the chromosomes. This process is also essential for the faithful genome replication or transmission to those daughter cells. During the interphase cell division occurs but during the prophase the cell condensation is found to be happening. Before the process of the mitosis chromosomes are allowed to move and during this entangled and breaking were also noticed.

Having freckles (F) is dominant over not having freckles (f). A parent with freckles is crossed with a parent without freckles.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

This is a trick question, and only because the question is vague

Explanation:

Use a Punnet Square to figure out the percentages.

If the parent with freckles (let's just call them Parent A) is homozygous dominant, their genotype would be FF.  The parent without freckles (Parent B) has a genotype of ff.

In any situation, the probability of these two having a child that is homozygous dominant for freckles is 0%.  (see punnet squares for more info).  

Now here's where it gets a little more confusing because the question is kind of vague on this.

Assuming that Parent A is homozygous dominant (both genes for this are dominant (FF)), then the probability of having a heterozygous (non-identical genotype letters, meaning they carry the recessive trait) genotype is 100%.  However, if Parent A is also heterozygous, then that percentage decreases to 50%

For Situation A (Parent A is homozygous dominant), the probability of a homozygous recessive genotype is 0%

For Situation B (Parent A is heterozygous dominant), the probability of a homozygous recessive child is 50%.

Please see the Punnet square I made for more information.

Key:

- Homozygous Dominant: FF

- Heterozygous Dominant: Ff

- Homozygous Recessive: ff

(heterozygous recessive does not exist, because that would mean one of the genes is dominant, which would overpower the recessive gene)

I really hope this helps, and if you're confused by this, please do not hesitate to let me know!

you are an employer and know from genetic testing that the most qualified applicant for the job has a 70 % chance of developing
Ludmilka [50]
I would hire this person because the disease is non-communicable. Plus, small cold and cough problems will not affect the performance of the person and therefore, there are little chances that he/she will take frequent holidays. Further, morally this job will help the person financially, in getting the proper treatment of the disease, if it occurs. And this will also raise the confidence and personality of the person. If the person has the skills that match our requirements, I will definitely hire him, despite his chances of developing multiple sclerosis.
