During pregnancy, a cell undergoes what appears to be a normal mitotic nuclear division. However, two daughter cells with 2n-1 a

nd 2n+1 complement of chromosomes are produced, causing a population of cells to be abnormal. Which of the following events is most likely responsible for this disorder?
a. The cleavage furrow did not completely separate the two daughter cells.
b. Homologous chromosomes were sorted incorrectly during prophase.
c. Two sister chromatids did not separate into the proper daughter cells during anaphase.
d. The protein structure of nonkinetochore microtubules was defective, and incorrectly shortened during anaphase.

Answer:

c. Two sister chromatids did not separate into the proper daughter cells during anaphase.

Explanation:

The observed cell is undergoing mitosis which does not include separation of homologous chromosomes. During anaphase of mitosis, two sister chromatids of each chromosome separate from each other. They move to opposite poles. This results in equal distribution of two complete sets of chromosomes to each daughter cell.

However, the failure of two sister chromatids of a chromosome during anaphase would lead to the formation of two abnormal daughter cells. One of the daughter cells would have one extra chromosome (2n+1) while the other would lack one chromosome from the diploid set (2n-1).

Construct incomplete dominance vs codominance
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Codominance is when both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype, like a flower that is half blue and half red. Incomplete dominance is a mixture of the alleles, like for example, a mixture of blue and red flower, a purple flower.

Which of the processes are coupled (i.e. LINKED) in prokaryotic organisms but uncoupled (i.e. UNLINKED) in eukaryotic organisms?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Transcription & translation (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Prokaryotic organisms do not have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, thus the process of transcription & translation occurs in the cytoplasm. Also because of the need for rapid life cycle, the mRNA molecules start to be made, & their ribosomes are ready to start making proteins more rapidly than Eukaryote, thus the process of the couple is quicker.

In eukaryotic organisms, transcription process start (happens) inside the nucleus of the cell and translation process can't start until the mRNA is transported out from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

We have learned Kepler's Laws, Newtons laws of Motion and Gravity, as well as where planets are in relationship to the sun. Know
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

''Planets moves around the sun with constantly changing speed.''

''The sun uses its gravity to pull the planets towards it''

Explanation:

These two statements describes Newtons laws of Motion and Gravity. With statement 1, which shows the motion of the planets constantly changing due to the attraction of the sun. When the planets come close together to the sun, its orbital speed increases while on the other hand, when the planets goes farther from the sun, its orbital speed decreases. The statement 2 indicates that sun attracts other planets due to its gravity which allow them to move in a curved.
