Buffalo have a somatic chromosome number of 60. Hybrids produced by crossing a buffalo and grizzly bear are called gruffalo, are

sterile, and have many characteristics intermediate between the two parental species. If a gruffalo has 67 chromosomes, what is the somatic chromosome number of a grizzly bear?a. 42.b. 37.c. 62.d. 74.e. 30.

Answer:

37

Explanation:

Since the Gruffalo has a somatic chromosome number of 67 and the Buffalo has a somatic chromosome number of 60, we may infer that seven chromosomes from the Grizzly were not able to pair up with the chromosomes of the Buffalo. Checking the options, the only choice that has a suitable number is b. 37 chromosomes. If this is true, then the remaining 30 chromosomes were able to pair up.

Ann [662]

Answer:

Cretaceous

Explanation:

From what has been examined so far, there are evidence that at the end of the Cretaceous period a very large asteroid or comet stuck the Earth. The impact was where modern day Yucatan is located, and it released such an enormous energy that it managed to change the face of the Earth. The explosion itself managed to kill off pretty much everything nearby, but there was also a very hot wave that circled the whole planet. Enormous amounts of dust and ashes were released into the atmosphere that blocked the Sun, and the volcanoes all over the globe were triggered. This caused major climate and environmental changes, leading to a mass extinction, with the most noticeable victims being the dinosaurs.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Water volume remains the same.

Explanation:

Ice formation is a phase change from liquid to solid.  The ice is less dense so its volume gets larger.  Warm it up, melt the ice and it will return to the same volume it had as a liquid.

Which of the following is an example of post-transcriptional control of gene expression?a. gene amplification contributing to ca
MAVERICK [17]

The correct answer is: b. the removal of introns and alternative splicing of exons

Post-transcriptional regulation includes processes of regulation between transcription and translation such as RNA splicing, capping, addition of poly-A tail,  RNA editing.

RNA splicing represents the process of RNA processing in which newly synthesized pre-mRNA transcript is converted into a mature mRNA. This process occurs only in eukaryotic organism and includes the removal of introns and joining together the exons. RNA splicing might occur during or immediately after transcription and it is performed by spliceosome (complex of small nuclear ribonucleo proteins).

Alternative splicing is a regulated process in which a single gene can code for multiple proteins because particular exons of a gene may be included within or excluded from the final mRNA.

Compare Hills and Plateau<br> I need this in a paragraph <br><br><br> Thank you!
Aloiza [94]

Hills go up and back down again. Plateaus go up and stay at a maximum level. For example, If you were measuring the elevation of certain points on a hill, it would look something like (in units): (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1). If you were measuring the elevation of certain points on a plateau, it would look something like (in units): (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6).
