The process of separation of homologous chromosomes is during meiosis is referred to as disjunction. gametogenesis is production of gametes and it occurs in sex cells. disjunction occur during anaphase of meoisis I and in humans it results in separation of homologous chromosomes into two sets each containing 23 chromosomes. these chromosomes will eventually move to the opposite poles of the cell.

Plants absorb light energy and store that energy in the form of what

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Chlorophyll's job in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

If two intermediate-colored chickens together produced 100 chicks, how many would you expect to be black?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: 25 of the chicks will be black

Explanation: Since the chickens are intermediate in colour, that is they are not black, they are heterozygous. Let B represent the allele for black colour and B represent the allele for blue colour, therefore the genotype of a chicken with an intermediate colour is Bb. A cross between two Bb chicken will produce 1 BB, 2 Bb and 1 bb chicks. 1 BB will manifest outwardly as black, 2Bb will manifest outwardly as intermediate colored while 1 bb will manifest outwardly as blue colored chicks.

Since one out of four chicks are black colored, if the two chicken produced 100 chicks, the number of chicks that will be black is 1/4 x 100 = 25. Therefore, 25 chicks out of 100 will be black.
