Answer:

c. separation of homologs at anaphase I

Explanation:

Law of Segregation is also popularly known as purity of gamete. Law of Segregation is proposed by Mendel’s which stands universal law till date. The law states that allele (alternative form of same gene) pairs separate or segregate at the time of gamete formation.

The gametes form by meiosis or reductional division so, each gamete receives only one allele of trait.  

During metaphase I of meiosis the homologous chromososmes gets arranged on the central plate and get attached to the spindle fibres and then anaphase I begins with the separation of each chromosome of the homologue. Each chromosome of a pair moves to opposite poles.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Explanation: 1) Individual who is bald but neither parents has a widow's peak: As having a peak is dominant and the individual is bald with parents that doesn't have the trait, the genotype is recessive, in the case ww;

2) Individual has a widow's peak: The individual's genotype can be WW, homozygous for the trait or Ww, heterozygous for the trait, depending on the genotype of the parents;

3) Individual can't roll their tongue: Being able to roll the tongue is a dominant characteristics, so if the individual can't roll their tongue means the genotype is recessive. But, there is little evidence that this trait is dominant or inheritable;

4) Individual has a widow's peak  but their mother does not: In this case, the genotype of the individual is heterozygous (Ww), because the mother is recessive (ww) and the offspring has the trait, so the father must have had it;

5) If an individual does not have a widow's peak (ww), which genotype would be impossible? If this individual crosses over with another individual with the same trait, their children will be all recessive for widow's peak (ww), so there is no possibility of an offspring with the trait;

If the initial individual crosses over with an individual with widow's peak, two possiblities can occur:

  • If the crossover is with an individual homozygous for the trait (WW): all their children will have widow's peak with genotype Ww. So, the possibility of not having the peak is 0;
  • If the crossover is with an individual heterozygous for the trait (Ww), there will be a probability of 25% for the children to have genotype WW, a probability of 50% for the offspring to be heterozygous (Ww) and has the trait and probability of 25% to be recessive (ww) and therefore doesn't have the trait;

NADH and FADF2 are the blank forms of NAD and FAD
Nana76 [90]

NADH and FADF2 are the reduced forms of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) coenzymes.

<h3>What is nicotinamnde adenine dinucleotide?</h3>

The nicotinamnde adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme used in the transport electron chain of the cellular respiration.

The movement of electrons is coupled to a proton gradient in order to generate ATP, the energy coin of the cell.

In conclusion,  NADH and FADF2 are the reduced forms of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) coenzymes.
