Answer:

In Zebra mussels the cross that would the greatest number of heterozygous offspring is AA X aa (option A).

Explanation:

For a specific trait the cross that provides the greatest amount of heterozygous offspring is that of two pure lines, dominant and recessive.  In this case, AA x aa will have a 100% probability of heterozygous (Aa) offspring, as can be seen in a Punnett chart:

<em>Alelles    A     A</em>

<em>a            Aa    Aa</em>

<em>a            Aa    Aa</em>

AA X Aa will only have a 50% chance of heterozygous offspring, as will the cross aa X Aa.

- <u>AA X Aa</u>

Alelles    A     A

A           AA    AA

a           Aa     Aa

- <u>Aa X aa</u>

Alelles    A     a

a            Aa    aa

a            Aa    aa

A heterozygous genotype results in two different alleles being found in one gene, which determines a specific trait, where the dominant characteristic is expressed in the phenotype.

How do the daughter cells at the end of mitosis and cytokinesis compare with their parent cell when it was in G 1 of the cell cy
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

b. The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes and the same amount of DNA.

Explanation:

Mitosis is the cell division that maintains the DNA amount and chromosome number in daughter cells. This is due to the fact that each mitosis is preceded by one round of DNA replication in S phase.

For example, if the parent cell had 2n DNA in 46 chromosomes, the daughter cells at the end of mitosis and cytokinesis would also have 2n DNA in 46 chromosomes.

Svetlanka [38]
There are two approaches used when inserting a pacemaker; the epicardial approach and the transvenous approach. Epicardial approach involves the opening the chest cavity and placing a lead on epicardial sac of heart while the transvenous approach involves accessing a vein and inserting an electrode into the vein. Epicardial approach for inserting pacemakers are divided based on approach to heart thoracotomy, upper abdominal or endoscopic.

Answer:cell 9 is not missing any organelles compared to cell 1.

Cell 2 would not function normally because it lacks the mitochondria which is the powerhouse necessary for energy production & hence growth & survival.

Cells 4 & 7 lack the rough endoplasmic reticulum responsible for protein formation hence amino acids which are the building blocks of life will not be produced.
