Answer: 23 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a process where a cell divides twice to produce four sex cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These sex cells are known as gametes, which are sperm in males, and eggs in females.

These gametes are created between the first time the cell divides, called meiosis I, and the second time it divides, known as meiosis II.

<u>Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes producing two haploid daughter cells cells, which have 23 chromosomes each</u>. Because of this, the ploidy is reduced from diploid to haploid, and meiosis I is referred to as a <u>reductional division</u>. During Meiosis II, sister chromatids are separated, creating four haploid daughter cells.

VikaD [51]

The step at which the researchers would do at the end of researching Edna is to amplify the amount of DNA.

Option (d);

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • The term EDNA means Environmental DNA.
  • Invasive species in the waterway are the waterborne plants and animals who can likely cause effects to the human as well as the environment.
  • If researchers want to use eDNA to look for invasive species in the waterway, they will first collect a sample.
  • After cutting DNA into pieces, DNA would be precipitated in each sample.
  • And in the end, the amount of DNA would be amplified in each sample to understand how it would cause harm to the environment.

Explain how breast-cancer genes are still present in the population, despite cancer-related surgeries and deaths.
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

What are so called breast-cancer genes, are mutations in two genes: BRCA1 (BReast CAncer gene one) and BRCA2 (BReast CAncer gene two), and are also associated with ovaric cancer. According to the question, these genes are present in the popolation despite surgeries and deaths, and asks why. Surgeries does not eliminate the genes, they eliminate the tumors, and people can still reproduce after that. And also, most people already had offspring before they know they have cancer, so they are inheriting the mutations on the genes anyway.
