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 of the following is UNLIKELY to affect bone remodeling?
S_A_V [24]

Glucagon

This is a hormone that deals with blood sugar homeostasis. When blood sugar levels are low, glucagon is produced to convert the fats in the reserve back to glucose until normal levels are achieved.

Explanation:

Bone remodeling involves coordinations of osteoclasts and osteoblasts cells in the bone. The former breaks down bone tissue while the latter mineralizes bones. Calcium is the main ion in the body significant in mineralization of bone. Excess Ca2+ is stored in bone while low calcium levels in blood result in bone resorption.  

Stress on a bone also causes increased mineralization to strengthen the bone against this stress. This is why astronauts when they go to space, due to less stress from low gravity, bone loses its mass. When they return back to earth, the bone readjusts to the increased stress from higher gravity by increased mineralization.

The hormone responsible for bone homeostasis is parathyroid hormone.

A plant ‘X' has needle-like waxy leaves,plant ‘Y' has spiny leaves and a well developed root system,whereas, plant ‘Z' has ribbo
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Habitats of the plants:

X : winter or cold mountainous habitat

Y : desert habitat

Z:  Aquatic habitat

Explanation:

The X plant leave morphology suggests that thick wax coating of leaf helps it to retain water in it. Such plants are called conifers. They are not shed every year so suitable for sunlight to be captured for photosynthesis. In cold regions heavy wind happens cone like leaf is able to resist the winds and prevent it from falling. The cone like structure of leaves help them let the snowfall.

The plant Y leaves and root morphology suggests that it is well suited for dry lands or desert as where less water is there. They store water for longer time when it rains because of the extensive root system. The spine leaves help in reduced transpiration as water scarcity is there.

The plant Z leaves morphology suggests that thin and ribbon structure leaves can help them resist the pressures of flowing water as there are air space in the leaves which provide buoyancy to the leaves.
