In a diploid individual, one chromosome carries A and B genes, and the homologous chromosome carries different forms (alleles) o

f these same genes, a and b. If there is a single crossover between these two genes involving non-sister chromatids during metaphase I of meiosis, the resulting four gametes are:
A. AB, AB, ab, ab.
B. AB, ab, AB, ab.
C. AaBb, AaBb, AaBb, AaBb.
D. AB, Ab, aB, ab.
E. Ab, Ab, aB, aB.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This involves a dihybrid inheritance I.e. two genes are being passed on. During meiosis, specifically, the Prophase stage, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) line side by side. According to the question, one chromosome contains A and B alleles and its homologue, received by the other parent carries a and b alleles. This means that the diploid individual has a genotype AaBb for that gene.

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles separate independently of one another into gametes. I.e. allele A and a separates into the gametes without affecting alleles B and b of the other gene.

Crossing-over, which is the exchange of chromosomal segment occurs between the two homologues. Hence, the exchange of chromosomal segments containing alleles in the individual will possibly produce four gametes with the genotypes: AB, Ab, aB, ab.

Which method would allow you to study the behavior of a tiger in its native habitat in India?
IgorLugansk [536]
They are solitary animals, especially males who do not live in groups, unlike the female which can form small groups of three or four members with their young.

The males are very territorial, so take care of their personal space and the females with whom they mate. To mark their territory, they spray the trees and rocks with a mixture of urine and musk.

Both male and female, they are related only in times of mating and reproduction. There have been cases where the male is responsible for feeding breeding if the mother has died.

The gestation period lasts between 98 and 108 days and give birth to two to four cubs weighing just over a kilo. They have a short life expectancy, as only get to live 10 to 12 years in the wild, but in captivity Natural mortality manage to live up to 26. It is mainly due to the fighting between males

salantis [7]
Each gram of saturated fat give 9 calories. If Miguel's choice of the menu contained 6 gram of saturated fat,he choice contained 6g*9cal/g=54cal.
Miguel's choice had a total of 460 calories. 54 calories of saturated fat is equivalent to (54cal*100%)/460cal=11.74%.
The percentage of calories from saturated fat is 11.74.

kodGreya [7K]

Raynaud's phenomenon refers to an ailment featured by blood vessel unusuality resulting due to overactivity of the smooth muscle in the wall of arteries, causing spasms (vasospasms with constriction) of the small vessels, which supply blood to the legs, arms, feet, and hands, and sometimes the nose and ears.

Thromboangiitis obliterans, also known as Buerger's disease and vasculitis, is characterized by thrombosis and inflammation of the small and medium arteries of the feet and legs that recurs and advances in phases.
