Recall Mendels law of segregation for autosomal alleles D and d and consider the behavior of homologous chromosomes in meiosis.

Biology
1 answer:
givi [52]3 years ago

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent. They are non-identical in the sense that they may contain different alleles for the same gene. For example, in this case, D and d alleles on each homologue. These homologous chromosomes are usually involved in meiotic division, which occurs in a two-step division process; Meiosis I and II.

In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate/pulls apart, specifically during the anaphase stage. Alleles D and d borne on the HOMOLOGOUS pair of chromosomes are separated in the process with each of them going to either pole of the cell, according to Mendel's law of segregation.

What is the name of the membrane surrounding the brain? What is the<br> function of this membrane?
wlad13 [49]

Answer and explanation:

The meninges

There are actually 3 parts—dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater.

The brain is soft and mushy, and without structural support it would not be able to maintain its normal shape. In fact, a brain taken out of the head and not properly suspended (e.g., in saline solution) can tear simply due to the effects of gravity. While the bone of the skull and spine provide most of the safeguarding and structural support for the central nervous system (CNS), alone it isn't quite enough to fully protect the CNS. The meninges help to anchor the CNS in place to keep, for example, the brain from moving around within the skull. They also contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which acts as a cushion for the brain and provides a solution in which the brain is suspended, allowing it to preserve its shape.

The outermost layer of the meninges is the dura mater, which literally means "hard mother." The dura is thick and tough; one side of it attaches to the skull and the other adheres to the next meningeal layer, the arachnoid mater. The dura provides the brain and spinal cord with an extra protective layer, helps to keep the CNS from being jostled around by fastening it to the skull or vertebral column, and supplies a complex system of veinous drainage through which blood can leave the brain.

The arachnoid gets its name because it has the consistency and appearance of a spider web. It is much less substantial than the dura, and stretches like a cobweb between the dura and pia mater. By connecting the pia to the dura, the arachnoid helps to keep the brain in place in the skull. Between the arachnoid and the pia there is also an area known as the subarachnoid space, which is filled with CSF. The arachnoid serves as an additional barrier to isolate the CNS from the rest of the body, acting in a manner similar to the blood-brain barrier by keeping fluids, toxins, etc. out of the brain.

What layer of the atmosphere contains almost 80% of the atmospheres total mass
irina [24]

Solution:

The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and contains the largest percentage (around 80%) of the mass of the total atmosphere.

The troposphere is the lowest major atmospheric layer, extending from the Earth's surface up to the bottom of the stratosphere. The troposphere is where all of Earth's weather occurs. It contains approximately 80% of the total mass of the atmosphere.  

The troposphere is characterized by decreasing temperature with height (at an average rate of 3.5 degrees F per thousand feet, or 6.5 degrees C per kilometer). In contrast, the stratosphere has either constant or slowly increasing temperature with height.  

Thus the right answer is troposphere.
