The karyotype of one species of primate has 48 chromosomes. In a particular female, cell division malfunctions, and she produces

one of her eggs with an extra chromosome (25). The most probable source of this error would be a mistake in which of the following?A) Mitosis in ber ovary B) Metaphase I of one meiotic event C) Telophase II of one meiotic event D) Telophase I of one meiotic event E) Either anaphase I or II

Answer:

E) Either anaphase I or II

Explanation:

Failure of segregation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase I or failure of segregation of sister chromatids during anaphase II leads to the presence of the abnormal number of chromosomes in resultant gametes. In the given example, the egg mother cell with 48 chromosomes (24 pairs) would enter meiosis I but the failure of one pair of homologous chromosomes to segregate from each other followed by normal meiosis II would result in the formation of two gametes with one extra chromosome and two gametes with one less chromosome.

On the other hand, if the nondisjunction occurs at anaphase II of meiosis II, two normal gametes, one gamete with one extra chromosome and one gamete with one less chromosome will be formed. Therefore, nondisjunction at anaphase I or anaphase II would have resulted in the production of eggs with one extra chromosome.

In the ocean how does water temperature change as depth increases
tatuchka [14]
When the upper water layers warm in the summer months, they become separated from deep water by a transition zone known as a thermocline. In a thermocline, the temperature decreases rapidly with small increases in depth. This phenomenon linking temperature change with depth is called temperature stratification.

Explain why the offspring of a cactus finch and a medium ground finch would look like an intermediate between the two birds, but
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

How the finch offspring "looks" is determined by the genes it inherits (nature) whereas the offspring will be able to learn the song from their parent (nurture). In this case, it is the male parent that teaches the song to their young. Hence, the song that the finch offspring learns is from the male finch parent which is why it remains the same as before.
