Answer:

A, pleiotropy.

Explanation:

Pleiotropy - genes that have multiple phenotypic effects. Remember that phenotype means a physical characteristic caused by a gene, such as eye color or fur patterns.

Incomplete dominance - when neither allele is dominant and they mix together in the phenotype. A popular example is a red flower crossing with a white flower and resulting in a pink flower.

Epistasis - when two genes contribute to the phenotype, but one gene completely masks another gene. An example would be labrador fur colors.

Multiple alleles - 3 or more alternative forms of a gene, but only 2 alleles can occupy an organism. An example is blood type.

Hope this helps!

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

There is no diagram provided so I will just explain the mitotic cell cycle.

Here’s a quick basic arrangement in chronological order interphase, mitosis, and finally cytokinesis.

So first you start with interphase which consist of three phases G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase. Cellular growth occurs in G1 phase of interphase this is followed by S phase which is simply when DNA replication occurs. Final this is followed by G2 phase or further growth in preparation for mitosis and/or meiosis.  

I am only going to explain mitosis but just so I don’t confuse you meiosis can also follow interphase. So mitosis consist of four phases. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Prophase: in this phase the nuclear membrane would dissipate and the chromosomes would condense.

Metaphase: then in metaphase the chromosomes would align in the center of the cell and spindle fibers or microtubules would began growth from the centrioles.  

Anaphase: by the start of this phase spindle fibers would have attached themselves to the chromosomes kinetochores. In this phase the chromatids would separate and that’s really it as you can tell this is the shortest phase in mitosis.

Telophase: finally the chromosomes would be brought to the polar opposite ends of the cell and the nuclear membrane would reform. Also the chromosomes condensed chromosomes would unravel eventually they would be invisible.

Finally the cell would enter cytokinesis were it would split at the cleavage furrow which would have started in anaphase of telophase, all a cleavage furrow is, is microfilaments “pinching the cell” which is just them pulling on either side of the center of the cell.
