Answer:
E) Either anaphase I or II
Explanation:
Failure of segregation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase I or failure of segregation of sister chromatids during anaphase II leads to the presence of the abnormal number of chromosomes in resultant gametes. In the given example, the egg mother cell with 48 chromosomes (24 pairs) would enter meiosis I but the failure of one pair of homologous chromosomes to segregate from each other followed by normal meiosis II would result in the formation of two gametes with one extra chromosome and two gametes with one less chromosome.
On the other hand, if the nondisjunction occurs at anaphase II of meiosis II, two normal gametes, one gamete with one extra chromosome and one gamete with one less chromosome will be formed. Therefore, nondisjunction at anaphase I or anaphase II would have resulted in the production of eggs with one extra chromosome.
Typically, the genotype is encoded in the DNA by the gene; this gene in the DNA will then undergo the process of transcription and the information in the gene will be transcripted into mRNA. The mRNA will then undergo the process of translation and the information in the mRNA will be translated into a polypeptide chiefly by the action of ribosome. Thus, bacteria with different genotypes will have different protein which automatically means that they will have different phenotypes.
Answer:
Some of the safety measures one can take to prevent damage to the microscope, microscope slide or living specimen include;
1. Always carry the microscope with two hands
2. Do not touch the microscope lens
3. Clean and store properly after using
Explanation:
1. Microscopes are delicate laboratory equipments and hence, should be handled with care. The proper way to handle or carry a microscope is to place one hand on the arm and the other below the base of the microscope. This will prevent the microscope from hitting something and getting damaged or something falling off.
2. The lens, either the objective or occular, is what makes visibility of any specimen possible. It shouldn't be mishandled by touching it or using inappropriate materials to clean it. A lens cleanser designed for that function should be used.
3. After use, the microscope should be cleaned thoroughly and stored in a dry place. The maintenance of the microscope will improve how long it will last.
