20,000 years ago, two populations of the black-tailed rats became separated from each other by the formation of a large canyon,

thus preventing their interbreeding. The condition described is

D.

The environment changes all the time. Animals of course have no control of it. When geographic changes happen (large canyon forming, volcanoes erupting, glaciers melting) and the population of species are isolated and not able to interbreed, the condition is geographic isolation.

The cross of an aa male and Aa female produced an offspring with the genotype AAa. Therefore, the resulting offspring has 3 copi
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the genotype of the male parent is aa, the genotype of the female parent is Aa, and the genotype of the offspring is AAa, showing trisomy characteristics. In the given case, the existence of two A chromosomes shows that the chromosomes non-disjunction at the time of gametogenesis have taken place in the female as she is the only one possessing A allele. Hence, it can be concluded that the disjunction is maternal in characteristic.  

The duplication of chromosomes takes place at the time of the S-phase of meiosis. Thus, after going through S-phase, the karyotype of the cell will be AAaa (maternal gametogenesis), this set of the chromosome is termed as homologous pair, and the pair of AA or aa is termed as sister chromatids.  

The meiotic disjunction takes place in two phases. First, in meiosis I disjunction, in this separation of homologous chromosomes takes place, that is, the maternal cell AAaa get differentiated into aa and AA daughter cells. Secondly, in meiosis II disjunction, the separation of sister chromatids takes place into two independent chromosomes, that is, the formation of two cells each comprising chromosome A from the AA cell and the formation of two cells each with chromosome a from the aa cell.  

Thus, the phenomenon of non-disjunction would have taken place at the time of meiosis II in the case of a female gamete to exhibit two A chromosomes. Hence, the correct answer is option d.

The role of rRNA in gene expression is to?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is rRNA plays an important role during translation (protein synthesis) of mRNA.

Explanation:

Ribosomal RNA or rRNA are the RNA molecules which build up the site for protein synthesis known as ribosomes.

Ribosome synthesis takes place in nucleolus where two types of rRNA molecules associates with proteins, one in large subunit and one in the small subunit to form ribosomes.

These ribosomes physically moves along an mRNA molecule and catalyze the assembly of amino acids where rRNA molecules performs the catalytic steps of protein synthesis that is stitches amino acids together and makes up proteins.

Thus,  rRNA plays an important role during translation (protein synthesis) of mRNA.
