A tetrad consists of 2 homologous chromosomes each of which is made up of 2 sister chromatids

Answer:

Two homologous chromosomes paired together, each of which has two sister chromatids.

Explanation:

Zygotene stage of prophase I of meiosis I is characterized by the pairing of homologous chromosomes with help of synaptonemal complex. Since DNA replication has occurred in S phase, each chromosome in the pair contains two sister chromatids.  

So, the chromosome pair appears to have a total of four chromatids and the structure is termed as "tetrad".

Answer:

The fraction of the offspring that will show the phenotype produced by the recessive c allele is 1024/4096 = 0.25 A-BbccDdE-Ff = 25%

Explanation:

You can calculate the fraction of the offspring that will show the phenotype produced by the recessive c allele by making the punnet square for each gene and then multipling the phenotypic proportions, like this:

Cross) AAbbCcDDEeff     x      AaBBCcddEEFF

Cross For each gene by separately:

  • Parental )        AA    x    Aa

       Gametes)  A    A         A    a

        F1)             2/4 AA  

                          2/4 Aa

  • Parental )        bb    x    BB

         Gametes)  b    b         B   b

          F1)                   4/4 Bb

  • Parental )        Cc    x    Cc

        Gametes)  C    c         C    c

         F1)             1/4 CC

                           2/4 Cc

                            1/4 cc

  • Parental )        DD    x    dd

       Gametes)  D    D          d    d

        F1)             4/4 Dd

  • Parental )        Ee    x    EE

        Gametes)     E     e      E     E

         F1)             2/4 Ee

                           2/4 EE

  • Parental )        ff    x    FF

         Gametes)     f     f      F     F

          F1)             4/4 Ff

So, fraction of the offspring that will show the phenotype produced by the recessive c allele is:

4/4 A-  x  4/4 Bb   x   1/4 cc   x   4/4 Dd   x  4/4 E-   x   4/4 Ff =  

1024/4096 = 0.25 A-BbccDdE-Ff =25%

What term is used to describe the relationship of the DNA strands to each other?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA is the genetic material of the organism which is made up of nucleotide monomer. The structure of DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides coiled in a helical structure thus providing a double-helical shape to the structure.  

Each nucleotide of a strand is composed of a five-carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases. These molecules are arranged in anti-parallel fashion in DNA which provides the polarity to the DNA strand. One strand is read from the 5' to 3' direction whereas another form 3'to 5' direction.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
