Answer:

45 chromosomes (2n1 + n2)

Explanation:

The allotetraploid 2n1+2n2=60 has 60 chromosomes total, two sets of them of type 1 and two sets of chromosomes from the other type (2).

If the suspected type 1 parent is diploid with 30 chromosomes, then the allotetraploid has 30 type 1 chromosomes and 30 type 2 chromosomes.

<u>During meiosis, the germ cells reduce the total chromosome number by half.</u>

  • The gametes produced by the allotetraploid will have 15 type 1 chromosomes and 15 type 2 chromosomes.
  • The gametes produced by the suspected parent will have 15 type 1 chromosomes.

When these gametes combine during the backcross, the F1 zygote will have a diploid number of 30 type 1 chromosomes (15 coming from the allotetraploid and 15 coming from the suspected parent) and 15 type 2 chromosomes (which will be haploid because they all came from the allotetraploid).

The triglycerides in animals tend to be solids (i.e., fats) at room temperature whereas the triglycerides in plants tend to be l
aev [14]

Answer:

The animal triglycerides have a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids than the plant triglycerides.

Explanation:

The triglycerides have three fatty acids attached to the single glycerol molecule by ester linkage. The fatty acids may be saturated or unsaturated. The triglycerides with saturated fatty acids such as the animal triglycerides exhibit a relatively tight packing of these fatty acids and make them solid at room temperature.

On the other hand, the triglycerides with unsaturated fatty acids such as the plant triglycerides are liquid at room temperature since the presence of double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains leads to weaker interactions and does not allow the tight packing of the fatty acids.

Which of the following is a hypothesis that could be tested in a High School Biology classroom?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Discover the volume of a balloon.

Explanation:

Get a balloon and a piece of paper. Cut the paper to make a line, and make sure it is 100 cm x 2 cm Take on of the balloons and inflate it several times so you are sure you can inflate the balloon with only one breath. Take a deep breath and inflate the balloon. Use a binder clip to hold the neck so no air escapes. Make a measurement of the circumference of the balloon using v = c3/6(pie)2 - the formula is c cubed divided by 6 times pie squared equals volume. Create a graph for them to answer, and then give questions for them to turn in.
