A cell that just fertilized has to divide 6 times to form a 64 cell blastomere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Human reproduction begins with the fusion of male gamete sperm and female gamete ovum. The fusion of sperm and ovum forms the zygote that is diploid. The zygote then undergoes mitotic division to develop into embryo.

The zygote first divides into two and the two individual cells divide again to form four individual cells and so on. Thus the number of cells after each division can be represented by the equation $2^n$ where n is the number of divisions. in the question it is given that the blastomere has 64 cells.

$2^n=64$

n=6

This means that the fertilized cell has to divide 6 times to develop into 64-celled blastomere.

What are the chances that a cross between a black chicken and white chicken will result in blue offspring?

Shkiper50 [21]

The correct answer is 100%

This is because Back and white are both incomplete dominant traits. When you cross these together, all (100%) of the offspring will be heterozygous blue.

I just took the test on USATestPrep, so I guarantee you that is correct!

Have a great day! :)

If a point mutation occurs in a body cell so that the original sequence of mRNA of CGA changes to AGA, what will be the likely c

Talja [164]

Hi,

If a point mutation occurs during which CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.

This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.

We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism

Hope it helps!:)
