Answer:
1) the genes and chromosomes do not double after each generations because parental sex cells are haploid and only contain one set of chromosomes. During fertilization the two cells fuse to form a diploid zygote with two copies of genes and chromosomes. For example a normal human has 46 chromosomes (2 copies of 23 chromosomes) during reproduction gametes which contain 23 chromosomes (haploid) fuse to form an offspring with the correct number of chromosomes ( 23 + 23 = 46).
2) offspring only receive one set of chromosomes from each parent so to maintain the chromosome number of humans. If this did not happen you would not be the same species.
Question is incomplete i have added full question in ask for detail section.
Answer:
Option a. met3, Met3p, MET3 is correct answer
"An investigator is studying mutants in methionine synthesis. The _met3_ mutants are unable to ATP sulfurylase, also known as _Met3p_. This protein is the product of the _MET3_gene. "
Explanation:
MET3 encodes ATP sulfurylase, which is a catalyst of first step of the sulfur assimilation pathway. This pathway results in the formation of hydrogen sulfide which is a precursor in the biosynthesis of cysteine, homocysteine, and methionine.
