Answer:

148

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 where,

p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Here,

Total population = 592

Number of NN people = 148

Frequency of N blood group or NN genotype (q²) = 148/592 = 0.25

q = √0.25 = 0.5

p = 1 - q

= 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Hence, p = 0.5

Frequency of MM genotype = p² = 0.25

Number of people with MM genotype = 0.25*592 = 148

Hence, 148 people will have MM genotype or M blood group.

If a cell has a diploid number of 8 (2n = 8) before meiosis, how many chromosomes will be in each of the four daughter cells aft
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The final product is four gametes, two of them with 5 chromosomes, and the other two with 3 chromosomes each.

Explanation:

If nondisjunction occurs during meiosis 1, a pair of homologous chromosomes fail to separate, and one of the daughter cells will have the two chromosomes while the other cell will not get any chromosome from the pair.

If meiosis 1 occurs normally, but nondisjunction occurs in meiosis 2, sister chromatids fail to separate.  

The usual process of meiosis produces four daughter haploid cells (n) from a diploid germ cell (2n). Each daughter cell is haploid because they have half the number of chromosomes of the original one.  

If the diploid number of the original cell is 8 (2n=8), then under normal conditions, each haploid daughter cell should have 4 chromosomes (n = 4).  

But in the exposed example, one pair of homologous chromosomes experiences nondisjunction during meiosis I (in the attached file, you will recognize this pair as the red one). The other chromosomes separate as usual. So one of the daughter cells will have one extra chromosome than expected (five instead of four), and the other daughter cell will lack one chromosome (three instead of four). Meiosis II occurs normally. The final result is the formation of four gametes, two of them with 5 chromosomes, and the other two with 3 chromosomes each.

2.) The T-Rex went extinct 65 million years ago when the meteor hit the earth.

3.) We couldn't have done anything about this.

4.) The T-Rex lived mainly in North America and Aisa, in forests with plant-eating dinosaurs.

5.) The T-Rex was tall and stood on 2 legs. the other legs were usually up off the ground for eating its prey. I had really sharp teeth for eating meat.
