The extra X chromosome is received from mother.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Klinefelter's syndrome is the condition of chromosomal aberration where the person has an extra X chromosome. This means the genotype of the person is 44+XXY and the total chromosome number is 47. This condition is achieved due to inappropriate meiotic division and one of the sperm or ovum has the an extra X chromosome.

Here both the parents are normal in terms of colour vision. So the father cannot have the gene of colour blindness because if it was present, then father would have been colour blind because he has only one X chromosome per cell. So its present in mother who is heterozygous in terms of colour blind gene. So the extra X chromosome also came from her which made the presence of two defective X chromosomes in the offspring and made it colour blind.

Olin [163]

The correct answer is: C) the random and independent way in which each pair of homologous chromosomes lines upat the metaphase plate during meiosis I

Independent assortment is the second Mendel’s law which states that the alleles of two/more different genes are sorted into gametes independently.  

When homologous pairs line up during the metaphase at meiosis I they do that random. This means that formed gametes will get different combinations of "mom" and "dad" homologues and consequently, different alleles on those homologues.

A model of a gene, DNA, and a chromosome is shown here. A researcher tags the gene with a heavy radioactive isotope (P-32). Whic
adoni [48]

Answer:

The gene will be radiolabeled, but only a portion of the chromosome will display P-32 because genes are smaller than chromosomes

Explanation:

Genes are made of DNA, but there are many (numerous) genes found along chromosomes. Only a small portion of the chromosome will be radiolabeled.

Describe the features of the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane.
alexgriva [62]
This model suggests that the cell membrane is a dynamic structure, because the proteins and phospholipids move laterally within the lipid bilayer ( so it is more of a fluid than solid)
