What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploidy are caused? What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploid

y are caused? The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species. The principal cause of aneuploidy is paternal chromosome nondisjunction during meiosis. Polyploidy in nature results from the combining of chromosome sets from different species. The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis. Polyploidy in nature can result from the deletion of one chromosome set during meiosis or during the first mitotic division. The principal cause of aneuploidy is maternal chromosome nondisjunction during meiosis. Polyploidy in nature results from the deletion of one chromosome set in somatic cells.

The correct answer is:

The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species.  

Aneuploidy is a phenomenon when there is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell (an extra or missing chromosome). Usually it appears as a result of improper cell division (chromosomes don’t separate) and it can cause many genetic disorders.

Polyploidy refers to a state when there are more than two sets of chromosomes (one from mother one from father). Triploid (three sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. This phenomenon is most common in plants.

Which statement about DNA is NOT correct?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

B (2nd Option): DNA is single-stranded

A is correct: DNA is indeed found in the nucleus of eukaryotes.

B is incorrect: Although there can be single strands of DNA (ssDNA), DNA is usually double-stranded which is how it forms its characteristic double-helix shape.

C is correct: Deoxyribose is indeed the sugar in DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)

D is correct: The two single ringed nitrogenous bases in DNA are thymine and cytosine, while the other two (Adenine and Guanine are double ringed.

How did the Rf values differ between pigments and solvents?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The Rf values indicate how soluble the particular pigment is in the solvent by how high the pigment moves on the paper.

Explanation:

The Rf values indicate how soluble the particular pigment is in the solvent by how high the pigment moves on the paper. Small Rf values tend to indicate larger, less soluble pigments while the highly soluble pigments have an Rf value near to one.

Calculate the acceleration of a boat that has been cruising at 15 m/s but speeds up to 45 m/s in about 6 seconds. Don’t forget y
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Calculate the acceleration of a boat that has been cruising at 15 m/s but speeds up to 45 m/s in about 6 seconds. Don’t forget your units, m/s2. In order to calculate the acceleration of the boat we first have to identify the suited formula for acceleration in this scenario.

Hence, a = vf – vi / t. Vi = 15 m/s Vf = 45 m/s T = 6 seconds  

Solution:
A = 45 m/s – 15m/s / 6s
A = 5m/s^2
