The Manx cat has abnormal spinal development and no tail. The mutation is a dominant allele (M). For notation purposes, m refers

to the wild-type allele that results in a tail. If two Manx cats have a litter with 4 vigorous kittens, what is the probability of at least one of the four kittens having a normal tail?
a. 65/81 0
b. 16/81
c. 2/3
d. 1/3
e. 80/81

Answer:

d. 1/3

Explanation:

Given, M is a dominant allele which is responsible for tailless kittens and m is recessive wild type allele which leads to kittens with tail. M is a lethal allele which means that if it is present in homozygous condition, the kitten will not survive. So the Manx cats should be heterozygous i.e. Mm.

When they mate, Mm X Mm :

      M        m

M   MM    Mm

m   Mm    mm

1/4 kittens will have MM genotype so they will not survive. Out of the remaining kittens, 1/3 will be mm and hence they will have normal tail. Remaining 2/3 will have Mm genotype like their parents and will be born without tail. Hence, there is 1/3 probability that one of the four kittens will have a normal tail.

Which do you think is easier to identify on a karyotype - changes in chromosome number or in chromosome structure? explain.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

To obtain a view of an individual's karyotype, cytologists photograph the chromosomes and then cut and paste each chromosome into a chart, or karyogram, also known as an ideogram. In a given species, chromosomes can be identified by their number, size, centromere position, and banding patter

What are the mechanisms of natural selection, and how do they lead to changes in
Nata [24]

Darwin's proposed mechanism for evolution is natural selection. Natural selection allows species to respond to their surroundings through time, or to become progressively excellently-suited. Natural selection is environmentally based and involves established heritable variation within a population.

They lead to changes in  species over time:

  • Darwin suggested species will evolve over time, new species originate from pre-existing species, and all species share a common ancestor with each other.
  • In this framework each organism has its own special set of heritable i.e genetic variations from the common ancestor that have slowly developed over very longer periods of time.
  • Parroted branching activities that isolate new species from a common ancestor create a multi-level tree that connects all living organisms.

A cell with 80 chromosomes undergoes mitosis. How many chromosomes are found in the daughter cells? How many daughter cells are
Natalka [10]

Answer:

1. 80 chromosomes are found in each of the daughter cells. 2. Two daughter cells are produced. 3. The daughter cells are identical to each other.

Explanation:

Mitosis is simply a process of cell division whereby two daughter cells that are genetically identical are produced from a single parent cell. A cell having 80 chromosomes would undergo Mitosis through these various stages:

Interphase: This can be referred to as the rest phase between cell division when mature enough for reproduction. This is a preparatory stage where DNA is duplicated and ready for the division of chromosomes

Prophase: This stage marks the beginning mitosis of the cell with 80 chromosomes. The chromatin threads start a coiling process in which the chromosomes become condensed to enable easy distribution to daughter cells without tangling.  

Prometaphase: This phase commences toward the end of the prophase, where the nuclear envelop breaks down. The chromosomes move toward to the center of the cell.

Metaphase: At this stage, the duplicated chromosomes line up on the mid plane or equator of the cell. During this stage, each chromatid is condensed completely and appears thick and distinct.

Anaphase: At this stage, the chromosomes move toward the poles as each replicated copies of the DNA of the cell ends up on either side of the cell. What we would have here at this stage is an entirely two new sister chromatid having 80 chromosomes. Cytokinesis begins towards the end of this stage as the parent cell cytoplasm divides which also continues at telophase.

Telophase: This is the final phase of Mitosis where two separate nuclei are formed and Cytokinesis takes place to complete the division of the cell to form two daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes. These cells are genetically identical to the original parent cell.
