The organism can produce 12 genetically different gametes.

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

The gametes are the unit of sexual reproduction which are produced by an organism from their germ mother cell by means of meiosis. This gametes do carry half the amount of total chromosomes that is present inside each cell of that organism. This process let's the genetic combinations of chromosomes to get more variations among offsprings. But this isn't the only source of variation among the offsprings.

Each and every germ mother cell that's undergoing the meiotic division undergoes a process called crossing over and chaismata formation which gives the genetic mixing among the different alleles of same character among the organism.

Thus, statistically, if the organism has n pairs of chromosomes, then the organism will be able to produce 2n number of genetically different gametes which helps in finding out the probability of genotype of the offsprings.

So if the organism has 6 pairs of chromosomes, then the organism will be able to produce 12 genetically different gametes.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Explanation:Bacteria are all single-celled. The cells are all prokaryotic. This means they do not have a nucleus or any other structures which are surrounded by membranes.

A group of scientists is studying the fossils of three different hominids. They find that the DNA of the first hominid is more s
oksano4ka [1.4K]
"The first and second hominids were able to mate and produce offspring, but the first and third hominids could not." <span>Although that might be the case, it might also not. "More similar" needn't be 'similar enough' (disregarding the fact that all homonid specimens involved could happen to share the same sex). </span>

<span>"The first and second hominids shared the same geographic location, while the third was isolated." </span>

<span>That information would be revealed by the geographic location they came from. </span>

<span>"The first and second hominids most likely became extinct before the third hominid species." </span>

<span>Perhaps or perhaps not. As ancestral lineages can survive for longer than descendant lineages, it needn't apply. Still, I suppose the non-existent law of averages provides some sort of justification for the use of "Most likely". </span>

<span>"The first and second hominids have a more recent common ancestor than the first and third hominids." </span>

<span>Assuming these are all in the same neat lineage, then the most recent common ancestor of the first and second is also the most recent common ancestor of the first and the third.</span>
