Answer:
B. meiosis
Explanation:
Meiosis is the process that produces our gametes. A cell that undergoes meiosis will divide twice resulting into 4 haploid daughter cells.
The correct answer is:
The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species.
Aneuploidy is a phenomenon when there is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell (an extra or missing chromosome). Usually it appears as a result of improper cell division (chromosomes don’t separate) and it can cause many genetic disorders.
Polyploidy refers to a state when there are more than two sets of chromosomes (one from mother one from father). Triploid (three sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. This phenomenon is most common in plants.
It is the fraction of all chromosomes in the population that carry that allele.
Answer:
The oxygen dissociation curve represents the percentage saturation of Hb with oxygen at different partial pressure of oxygen. The different partial pressures gives sigmoid shapes to the curve. When this curves shifts to right, it indicates low affinity or binding of oxygen by the Hb. it also indicates the unloading or releases of Oxygen by Hb molecules at condition of low pressure. e,g in the muscles during strenuous exercise.However, when the curve shifts to the left, this indicate high affinity for oxygen, great binding, at high partial pressure of oxygen.e,g in the lungs to take oxygen and releases CO2.
Therefore in this scenario, the statement -. <u>During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right.</u> is correct. because oxygen is needed by the muscles therefore ,oxygen should be less binded by Hb, decrease affinity and easily unloaded to muscles.
<u>The statement </u>This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 into hemoglobin in the lungs is wrong.
As explained above the rightwards shift indicated low affinity of Hb for oxygen(unloading)and favours unloading at the muscles because during strenuous exercise the partial pressure of oxygen is very low(but that of CO2 high) in the muscles which favours low oxygen molecules binding by Hb, and easy release to respiring cells.
