If a pair of homologous chromosomes fails to separate during anaphase of meiosis I, what will be the chromosome number of the four resulting gametes with respect to the normal haploid number (n)?

a) n + 1; n + 1; n - 1; n - 1

b) n + 1; n + 1; n; n

c) n + 1; n - 1; n; n

d) n + 1; n - 1; n - 1; n - 1

Answer:

a) n + 1; n + 1; n - 1; n - 1

Explanation:

Separation of homologous chromosomes occurs during anaphase-I of meiosis. This event reduces the chromosome number from 2n to "n" in the daughter cells. If a pair of homologous chromosomes do not separate during anaphase-I, both the homologous chromosomes of that pair would be present in one daughter cell of the meiosis-I (n+1) while the other daughter cell would lack that chromosome (n-1).

Meiosis-II would maintain this chromosome number. Therefore, two gametes will have one extra chromosome (n+1) while the two gametes would lack one chromosome (n-1).

Why fungi are called saprophytic fungi?​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Fungi cause decay by releasing enzymes onto the dead animal or plant. These break down complex compounds into simple soluble ones that can be absorbed by decomposers. Organisms that feed on dead material in this way are called saprophytes.

What is the journey of a pice of cheese through your digestive system. Starting with the stomach and ending with absorption. Inc
allochka39001 [22]
Cheese is composed of fats and proteins. On reaching the stomach gastric juice is produced, which contains pepsin that acts on proteins to form dipeptides. In the duodenum, enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin released from the pancrease acts on dipeptides to produce peptides. Bile juice from the bile acts on fats to form small fats droplets a process called emulsification. In the small intestines enzyme peptidase acts on peptides to form amino acids, while enzyme lipase acts on fat droplets to produce fatty acids and glycerol. Amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol are then absorbed into the blood stream.

Anna11 [10]

Overproduction - An organism gives birth to too many children

Genetic Variation - The offspring each have genetic differences in appearance, behavior, etc

Struggle to Survive - Offspring must fight in order to gain essential resources (food, water, mates, etc)

Successful Reproduction - Organism produces offspring with beneficial adaptations that aid in survival
