How many species are currently considered “critically endangered”?

Biology

makvit [3.9K]3 years ago

Answer:

4568

Explanation:

The latest update on the number of critically endangered species is from the year of 2014, thus five years ago. As of this year, there have been 4568 species that have been placed in this category, 2464 of which are animal species, and 2104 are plant species. In order for a species of plant or animal to be placed in this category it needs to be on the verge of dying out in the wild because it has only very small number of individuals left in the wild that can produce the new generations. Unfortunately, the number of the critically endangered species has constantly been on the rise, and in the most recent history the blame for that falls on the humans and their activities. Some species that fall into this category are the Chinese alligator, Sumatran rhinoceros, eastern gorilla, vaquita, Iberian lynx...

Jill is heterozygous for gene A and is going to have a child with Jack, who is homozygous recessive for gene A. Which of the fol
Igoryamba

Answer:

D. Aa

Explanation:

Given:

Jill (mother) is heterozygous for gene A --------- i.e Jill = Aa

Jack (father) who is homozygous recessive for gene A-------- i.e Jack = aa

Now if both cross and fertilization occurs, we have:

         A          a

a        Aa        aa

a        Aa        aa

The offsprings are (Aa, Aa, aa, aa)

Nondsijunction is the inability of homologous chromosomes to seperate properly during cell division. Now, we were told that this fertilization undergone nondisjunction in meiosis 1. Hence, both homologous chromosome move into the same daughter cells instead of different daughter cells because separation of homologous chromosome does not occur properly.

Therefore the result of these fertilization of a normal haploid sperm with an egg that had undergone nondisjunction in meiosis yields offspring with genotype Aa of their Mother (Jill).
