Inheritance patterns cannot always be explained by Mendel's models of inheritance. If a pair of homologous chromosomes fails to

separate during meiosis I, select the choice that shows the chromosome number of the four resulting gametes with respect to the normal haploid number (n)?

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) n+1; n+1; n-1; n-1

B) n+1; n-1; n; n

C) n+1; n-1; n-1; n-1

D) n+1; n+1; n; n

Answer:

Option-1

Explanation:

The laws of inheritance were concluded from the result of Mendel's experiment which is based on the fact that gametes are formed. Later research suggested that gametes are formed by the process of meiosis which takes place in two phases and recombination is a characteristic of Meiosis.

If during anaphase I of meiosis I, the alleles fails to separate that is nondisjunction takes place at anaphase I, Then the resulting daughter cells will have unequal distribution of chromosomes.

One daughter cell will receive 1 extra copy of the chromosome while another daughter cell will receive 1 less chromosome therefore ploidy level will be n+1 and n-1.

During meiosis II, 2 more daughter cells will be formed with the same ploidy level therefore in last the meiosis will result in 2 (n+1) and 2 (n-1) cell.

Thus, Option-1 is the correct answer.

Which fossil occurs on the most landmasses what does this suggest about when the continents broke up
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Glossopteris and Lystrosaurus

Explanation:

Glossopteris is an ancient plant flora and Lystrosaurus is a fossil fauna, and both are found in many of the landmasses on earth. The Glossopteris flora appeared about 300 to 200 million years back and the Lystrosaurus appeared about 250 million years back on earth. They both existed from the time of late Permian to early Triassic age.

Both these fossils played an important role in understanding the continental drift theory or the plate tectonic theory. This evidence enabled geologists to understand how the continents have moved across the large ocean basin from one place to another and at what rate they are drifting currently. It helped in understanding how the super-continent Pangaea had broken into Laurasia and Gondwanaland, and further broken into the present location of the plates.

why do the three species have similarities and differences in their body structures, and how can Xiao use the structures to dete
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Xiao can use these structures to create a similarity matrix that enables to differentiate between synapomorphies and homoplasies .

Explanation:

A synapomorphy is a trait that has been inherited from the same ancestor, this trait enables to establish a relation of homology between two or more species; while a homoplasy is an analog structure that doesn't have homology.

During which part of the rock cycle does weathering and erosion take place? (So what happens before weathering and erosion) plea
inn [45]
There are two main<span> types of physical weathering: Freeze-thaw occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart. Exfoliation occurs as cracks develop parallel to the land surface a consequence of the reduction in pressure during uplift and erosion.</span>
