Answer:

The correct answer is non-disjunction at the time of meiosis.

Explanation:

A disorder, which takes place in males exhibiting an additional X-chromosome and is an outcome of an error in cell differentiation resulting in anomaly known as the Klinefelter's syndrome. Due to non-disjunction the egg or the sperm may acquire an additional X-chromosome. When these unusual cells take part in the genetic makeup of a person, then that individual most probably suffers from the condition termed as Klinefelter's syndrome.  

In the majority of the circumstances, the division of the cells takes place generally during the development of the sperm, and at the same time, there may be certain errors at the time of egg development. Generally, the condition is mostly seen in the offspring of women that conceive after the age of 35.

A bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage
dem82 [27]

The complete question is:

a bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage composed of the T2 phage protein coat and T4 phage DNA. The new phages produced would have

A) T2 protein and T4 DNA

B) T2 protein and T2 DNA

C) a mixture of DNA and proteins of both phages.

D) T4 protein and T4 DNA

E) T4 protein and T2 DNA

A bacterium infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage will give new phages with the virus' DNA and the type of proteins that this DNA encodes.

A bacteriophage is a virus that attaches itself to a bacteria and uses it to replicate itself. Viruses have two main parts, a protein coat and their DNA inside it.

  • The experimentally constructed bacteriophage has one type of protein that makes the coat, the T2. This type of protein will allow the virus to attach and infect the bacteria.
  • Once the virus attaches itself to the bacteria, it will introduce its DNA, T4 type, and use the bacteria elements to replicate it and create new phages.
  • As a result, the new phages will have T4 DNA, and the proteins that the virus synthesizes will be the same type as the DNA.

In conclusion, The new phages produced would have D) T4 protein and T4 DNA.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

homologous

Explanation:

<em>Since the front legs of a cat and the arms of a human share a bone structure that suggests a common lineage, these structures are said to be homologous.</em>

Homologous organs are organs that share some similarities in different organisms but whose function differ in these organisms.

The organs are structurally similar but functionally different. Homologous organs represent one of the evidences scientists use to support evolution.

The front legs of cats and the arms of humans are functionally different, even though their structure is based on the same five digit plan.
