Answer:

Option B, Cellular clock theory

Explanation:

The Cellular Clock Theory of Aging states that the older the cells get , the more they become incapable of reproducing or replicating. The telomeres (tip of the chromosomes) are DNA sequences which cap the chromosomes get smaller in size with time and eventually they hinder the cell division. As per a normal standard rate, a telomere replicates 70 to 80 times in its life span and then it stops replicating.

Hence, option B is correct

How can the random distribution of alleles result in a predictable ratio
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Let's recall Mendel's law of independent assortment that states, "During the formation of gametes, alleles of genes assort independently into each gamete"

How can the random distribution of alleles result in a predictable ratio?

For example, We have a trait for flower color either yellow or white, and the alleles for the flower color are Y and y. The yellow flower color is a dominant trait, and be expressed if plant has YY or Yy genotype. We cross a plant with genotype Yy with another plant Yy.

P1                                                   Yy   x  Yy

F1                                               YY : Yy: Yy: yy

Phenotype                        Yellow: yellow: yellow: white

Genotypic ratio                 1           :               2       :                 1

Phenotypic ratio                               3         :          1          

So, we see that phenotypic ratio is different from genotypic ratio. Although the distribution of alleles is random but still there are only four possible outcomes for a trait. Hence, we can predict the phenotypic and genotypic ratio of offspring by drawing a punnet square or gamete formation.
