Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3/16 or 18.75% portion will be resistant to both Bt and DDT.

Explanation:

It is given that bollworms that are susceptible to Bt are represented by either RR or Rr and resistance one are shown by rr genotype and bollworms that are resistant to DDT are represent TT or Tt genotype and susceptible to DDT have tt genotype.

Cross: RR tt with rr TT

Gametes: Rt and rT

F1 cross:

    RT

rT  RrTt ( susceptible Bt and resistant DDT)

F1 Cross with F1

Gametes: RT, Rt, rT and rt

cross:

             RT      Rt        rT         rt

RT       RRTT   RRTt   RrTT    RrTt

Rt        RRTt    RRtt    RrTt      RrTt

rT       RrTT    RrTt     rrTt       rrTt

rt       RrTt      Rrtt     rrTt      rrtt

Because the human embryo is able to split during early cleavage or blastocyst formation to produce two viable progeny, it is sai
juin [17]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

a) indirect

b) mosaic

c) determinative

d) regulative

e) direct.  

The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

The egg (ovum) like the embryo during the first embryonic divisions, do not possess any sign of polarity. This development mechanism can be called regulative development(in contrast to the mosaic model) since the fate of the cells that originate is not fixed and can be modified during development. In regulative embryos, part of the embryo can be removed and the remaining cells can compensate for the loss and give a complete individual as the final product.The strongest evidence that continues to support this regulatory model is based on the plasticity or potential that mammalian cells possess before implantation. It is known that the blastomeres produced by the first divisions can be replaced with each other or even can be eliminated without apparently altering the embryonic development and therefore they are equivalent (without polarity).
