Answer:
A population bottleneck occurred, altering the resulting allele frequencies.
Explanation:
A population bottleneck occurs when the size of a population is reduced by at least a generation. In this case, genetic drift acts more quickly to reduce genetic variation in small populations, but going through a “bottleneck” can greatly reduce variation, even if the bottleneck does not last for many generations. This effect called a bottleneck usually happens when a major disaster occurs in the population's habitat, changing the allelic frequencies and even the genetic variability of the population.
The population bottleneck can be seen in the question above, where after a forest fire, only 20 beetles remain in a population of beetles. 18 of them are green and 2 of them are brown.
Answer: The correct answer to the question is option C
BECAUSE YOU HAVE HAD ONE CHILD WITH TAY-SACHS,YOU MUST EACH CARRY THE ALLELE.ANY CHILD YOU HAVE HAS A 25% CHANCE OF HAVING THE DISEASE.
Explanation: Tay- Sachs is a rare disorder that is inherited,it is characterised by a progressive destruction of the nerves of the brain and spinal cord.its onset is from around 6months of life to around 4-5years of age when the child affected eventually dies.
A Child that have Tay-Sachs experiences problem with coordination,muscle contraction, must stiffness and weakness.there is also difficulty is speaking, swallowing, wasting(uncontrolled weightloss), hearing loss,seizure, and vision loss.
Since the parents of the child in the question claims they don't have Tay- Sachs and no one in the family has it but they came down with a child having Tay-Sachs and one of the major factors to Tay-Sachs as stated above is heredity,the main point to counsel the couples on is that because they have had one child with Tay-Sachs,they most each carry the allele which is obviously recessive so any child they had have has 25% chance of having the disease.
Answer: C.) Produces genetically unique haploid cells
Explanation: Meiosis will produce genetically unique cells because they are meant to pass onto offspring, and they are haploid because there are half the number of chromosomes in them. The organism will receive 2 sets, one from each parent, so that is why each parent who's cells undergo meiosis have to produce haploid cells.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
to make copies or offspring to need sexual cells which carry DNA needed it can be asexual or sexual
