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).

How is neuron like and different from a blood cell
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Neurons are similar to other cells because neurons have a cell membrane, a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, organelles, and carry out processes such as energy production.

Neurons differ from other cells because neurons have extensions called axons and dendrites, they communicate with each other through an electrochemical process which we just talked about, and neurons have specialized structures such as synapses and chemicals such as neurotransmitters.

zhenek [66]
The correct answer is (b.) infiltration. Rainfall is to precipitation as groundwater is to infiltration. Infiltration is the process in which the water on the ground enters or is absorbed by the soil. It is more like a downward movement of the water towards the soil.
