What is the relationship between mitosis and cell division

1 answer:

6 0

<span>Mitosis is the usual method of cell division, characterized typically by the resolving of the chromatin of the nucleus into a threadlike form, which condenses into chromosomes, each of which separates longitudinally into two parts, one part of each chromosome being retained in each of two new cells resulting from the original cell.

Some seeds contain fluffy parachute like structure why

seropon [69]

Answer:

Usually, the larger the seed, the more food reserves it contains. ... For example, Dandelion seeds have developed very light and fluffy parachute-like structures. These help the seeds to float in the wind and delays their fall to the ground. This delay allows the seeds to be carried further.

ANSWER: The completion of the Human Genome Project

EXPLANATION:

Human Genome Project (HGP) was completed in April, 2003. Genome varies from one individual to another.

The project involved mapping and sequencing of some people and in other to get each chromosome full sequence in individuals.

However, at the beginning of this project, concerns like ownership and privacy of personal genetic information began to spring up. People are afraid that employers may have access to their genetic information and would reject persons with health issues indicated by their unique genes and health insurance companies may also not provide insurance to people that have deficiency.

In the view of this concern, the United States in 1996 passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which guides against the non-consensual and unauthorized release of health information of individuals.

This tutorial will take you step by step through the question. Individuals with the genotypes Aa Bb CC Dd and Aa bb Cc Dd are cr

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

a) 1/16

b) 1/64

c) 1/32

Explanation:

According to the law of independent assortment, each allele of a particular gene has equal chances of getting inherited into the gametes.

In a Mendelian cross of Aa x Aa would give;

AA = 1/4,

Aa = 2/4 and

aa = 1/4

The result of the cross between AaBb x AaBb would be 1/16 due to the fact that probability is still the same AA = 1/4, BB = 1/4 therefore, AABB = 1/16 = 1/4× 1/4.

Now based on this crossing the following:

AaBbCCDd x AabbCcDd.

Take each allele as individual

Aa x Aa would give; AA = 1/4, Aa = 2/4 and aa = 1/4

Bb x bb would give; BB = 1/2, bb = 1/2

CC x Cc would give; CC = 1/2, Cc = 1/2

Dd x Dd would give; DD = 1/4, Dd = 2/4 and dd = 1/4

Then the probability of progeny of the following would be:

a) the probability of AaBbCcDd = 2/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 2/4 = 1/16

b) the probability of aabbCCdd = 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/64

c) the probability of AabbCcDD = 2/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/32

What are some advantages and disadvantages of

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction

Advantages Time Efficient; no need to search for mate, requires less energy Variation, Unique., organism is more protected

Disadvantages No variation - if the parent has a genetic disease, offspring does too. Requires two organisms, requires more energy

Explanation:While asexual reproduction only involves one organism, sexual reproduction requires both a male and a female. Some plants and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually. Most mammals and fish use sexual reproduction. Some organisms like corals and komodo dragons can reproduce either sexually or asexually. But in the long term (over several generations), lack of sexual reproduction compromises their ability to adapt to the environment because they do not benefit from the genetic variation introduced by sexual reproduction
