Answer:

The correct answer would be 10.

The cell cycle can be divided into four phases namely gap 1 (G₁) phase , synthesis (S) phase, gap 2 (G₂) phase, and  mitosis (M) phase.

DNA (deoxyribonuceic acid) content is only replicated and doubled in the S phase. However, the chromosome number remains the same. It can be explained as the number of chromosomes remains the same (2n) but number of chromatids doubles (4n) after S phase.

The number of chromatids restores to 2n in daughter cells after completion of mitosis.

Hence, if number of chromatids in metaphase was 20 i.e. 4n then the number of chromosomes (2n) would be 10.

Hence, 10 chromosomes or 5 pairs of chromosome would be present in the cell during its G₁ phase.

Which are come of the advantages of body segmentation?
Len [333]

Answer:

b. Segments can become specialized on a particular function

Explanation:

Segmentation conditions virtually every aspect of the structure and functioning of animals with a consecutive body. Generally speaking, we can say that the main advantage of segmentation is that each segment can become specialized in a specific function.

One of its advantages is related to locomotion and comes, on the one hand, from the fact that the volume of celiac fluid remains constant in each compartment, acting as an antagonistic force against which muscles can act and, on the other, from the possibility of independently control each segment . This allows the peristaltic movement (circular muscle contraction wave followed by longitudinal muscle contraction) to be localized and involve only those muscles that are strictly necessary, making the movement's energy needs considerably more profitable.

The compartmentalization of the body led to the repetition of structures, namely excretory, nervous and circulatory in each segment. This can be seen as another advantage of segmentation as it may lessen the impact of damage to the animal's body; Undamaged segments can maintain their normal functions and thus increase the likelihood that the animal will overcome the damage sustained.

Another advantage is that segmentation allows modification of certain portions of the body to perform specialized functions such as feeding, locomotion and reproduction.

Match each definition to the appropriate term. locus
liraira [26]
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.
