Answer:
<u><em>The correct option is C) Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.</em></u>
Explanation:
There are two main processes by which cell divides:
1) Mitosis
2) Meiosis
All the cells of the body divide by the process of mitosis except the sex cells.<em> Sex cells divide by the process of meiosis.</em>
Meiosis can e described as a type of cell division in which four daughter cells are formed each having half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This is because the cell has to attain half of the maternal and half of the paternal chromosomes at the time of fertilization.
Crossing over and independent assortment are the phenomenon of meiosis which bring genetic diversity among parent and children.

The teratogens can be defined as any physical, chemical, or infections agents that have the ability to penetrate the protective layers of the embryo, and affect its viability. The overall development and the development of the different organ systems might be affected because of these teratogens. When the embryo is exposed to the teratogens after the organogenesis is complete, it is most likely that the fetus will suffer from the stunted growth. When the organogenesis is complete, the organs are already formed, and hence, no severe damage can occur to them. Down's syndrome will result if the chromosomal abnormality occur in the fetus, which is not likely after the organogenesis is already complete. Any kind of severe anatomical defects are also least likely after organogenesis is completed. Therefore, the chances of having stunted growth are high.

Question: A gene for corn has two alleles, one for yellow kernels and one for white kernels. Cross pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. Which term best describes the relationship between the two alleles?
a) Incomplete dominance
b) Genetic recombination
c) Chimerism
d) Codominance
Answer:
d) codominance
Explanation:
Codominance is a pattern of inheritance when none of the alleles of a gene is able to mask the expression of the other allele of the same gene. When the two alleles are present together in a heterozygous genotype, both are expressed and the phenotype of the heterozygote is different from both the pure breeding parents. In the given example, cross-pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in the ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. This means that the heterozygote expresses both the allele for the corn color. Therefore, it represents codominance.
