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).

Where in the cell are chromosomes located?
jenyasd209 [6]


Chromosomes  are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made up of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

The unique structure of chromosomes  keeps DNA tightly wrapped around spool- like proteins, called histones. Without this kind of packaging, DNA molecules would be too long to fit inside the cells. 

 DNA molecules in a single human cell  if unwound from their histones  and placed end to end, they would measure 6 feet in length.

Chromosomes  play a  key part in ensuring that DNA is accurately copied and distributed to new daughter cells as the parent cell divides to form new cells.

Which of the following statements is the most likely explanation for plant withering due to leaky membranes in cold temperatures
podryga [215]

Answer:

C. H+ ions do not accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Explanation:

Plant withering refers to the virtual death of plant cells due to lack of food. During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ATP needed for the synthesis of sugar (food) is created in the thylakoid membrane of the CHLOROPLAST of plant cells.

In the light-dependent reaction, hydrogen ions (H+) builds up/accumulate in the thylakoid lumen to create an electrochemical or proton gradient i.e. a difference in the concentration of H+ ions across the membrane. The hydrogen ions passes through a protein complex called ATP synthase, which forms ATP from ADP (by adding phosphate group), from the energy generated by the electrochemical gradient formed as a result of hydrogen in (H+) build up.

Hence, a plant that possess leaky membrane due to the cold temperature will likely wither because H+ ions are not able to accumulate inside the thylakoid causing a proton gradient, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.
