Mitosis is when a single cell splits apart and creates two new cells that are identical to the parent cell.
"cutting down trees to build new buildings and roads", "factory and automotive emissions causing acid rain" and "redirecting and storing freshwater behind dams" exemplifies a way in which humans modify ecosystems. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the last option or the fourth option.
Answer:
Tetraploid wheat evolved by allopolyploidization and subsequent diploid-like behavior due to cytological diploidization
Explanation:
Durum wheat (<em>Triticum durum</em>) or pasta wheat, is a tetraploid wheat species that has 28 chromosomes, i.e., seven pairs in each genome (2n = 4x = 28). Durum wheat was domesticated from wild emmer wheat, which originated by hybridization of two diploid wheat species with 14 chromosomes: <em>Triticum monococcum</em> (genome AA) and one wild progenitor (genome BB). <em>Triticum durum </em>is a typical example of evolution by hybridization and polyploidization, where the resultant tetraploid species has two complete sets of chromosomes. Allopolyploidization is one of the most common types of plant speciation. During meiosis, 28 chromosomes form 14 homologous chromosome pairs, because homologous chromosomes have developed 'restriction of pairing' (i.e., cytological diploidization). The restriction of pairing to fully homologous chromosomes ensures a correct meiotic behavior, which otherwise would be altered due to the high level of homology that still exists among chromosomes from different wheat progenitors.
Incomplete dominance refers to a genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, and therefore results in a new phenotype.
