the muscles cells of an elephant contains 62 chromosomes. how many chromosomes are in an elephant egg cell

1 answer:

5 0

Sex cells only contain one chromosome from each pair. When an egg cell and spermcell join together, the fertilised egg cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes..
I am 99% sure that is the answer.

What problems still exist in using natural regeneration?

qwelly [4]

Natural regeneration of forests and woodlands is the process by which new trees grow from seeds that have fallen and germinate where they have fallen. The biggest problem with natural regeneration is that is unpredictable. As a result, it cannot be used for commercial farming. For most of the last two or three hundred years, forests and woodlands have restocked by using transplants grown in nurseries. The young trees are planted in equidistant rows. This allows each tree the best possible change of optimal growth.

mylen [45]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Chi square ( $X^2$ ):

$X^2$ = $\frac{(O - E)^2}{E}$ where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency.

The observed frequencies for the four phenotypes are 88, 62, 62, and 81 respectively.

For the expected frequency, the phenotypes are supposed to assort in 9:3:3:1 according to Mendel ratio.

Hence, expected frequencies are calculated as:

phenotype (1) = 9/16 x 293 = 164.81

phenotype (2) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (3) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (4) = 1/16 x 293 = 18.31

The $X^2$ is calculated thus:

Phenotype O E $X^2$

1 88 164.81 $\frac{(88 - 164.81)^2}{164.81}$ = 35.80

2 62 54.94 $\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}$ = 0.91

3 62 54.94 $\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}$ = 0.91

4 81 18.31 $\frac{(81 - 18.31)^2}{18.31}$ = 214.64

Total $X^2$ = 35.80 + 0.91 + 0.91 + 214.64 = 252.26

To the nearest tenth = 252

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 4- 1 = 3

$X^2$ tabulated = 7.815

<em>The calculated </em> $X^2$ <em> exceeds the critical value, hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. The two genes did not assort independently. </em>

DochEvi [55]

The correct answer of the given question above would be the third option: THE EVOLUTION OF POPULATIONS OVER TIME. What is represented by the base of a phylogenic tree is the evolution of populations over time. It is also known as the evolutionary tree. This tree shows the evolutionary relationships among species.
