Answer:
1. The gametophyte generation is haploid.
2. The embryo is diploid.
3. The megaspore is haploid.
4. The sporophyte generation is diploid.
Explanation:
1. Gametophyte- The gametophytic generation is the structure which produces gametes in the plant. Since the gametes are haploid, therefore, the gametophyte us considered the haploid.
2. Embryo- The embryo is formed after the fusion of fertilization when zygote develops, therefore, is considered diploid.
3. Megaspore- the big size spore which is formed from by the meiotic division of the megasporocyte, therefore, is considered haploid.
4. Sporophyte- the sporophyte generation develops from the embryo which is diploid therefore is considered diploid.
Answer:
D.Mendel's law of independent assortment is being violated.
Explanation:
According to Mendel in his law of independent assortment, the allele of one gene gets sorted into gametes independently of the allele of another gene. He discovered this when he performed a cross involving two characters i.e. dihybrid cross, which he obtained a F2 phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is only possible if each allele of each gene is represented in each gamete i.e. a dominant allele of the first gene is equally likely possible to be contained with a dominant or recessive allele in the second gene.
If this occurs according to the Mendel's law of independent assortment, a total of four possible combinations of gametes should be produced by each parent organism. When this 4 gametes are crossed in a punnet square, a total of 16 offsprings will be possible.
However, in this case, a total of 12 offsprings were produced, depicting that the alleles did not separate independently of one another to produce four possible gametes.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
Robertsonian translocation occurs of 2 acrocentric chromosomes with no problems for the person carrying it in balanced form. In an unbalanced form, it produces chromosome imbalance leads to mental disorder or malformations.
In this translocation p arm or long arm join with other chromosome's long arm, carrier is normal due to the presence of 2 copies of all chromosome arms so there will be all the copies of essential genes.
Thus, the correct answer is - option A.
Soil erosion can be caused by acid rain, mining, and water
Answer:
Mutation causes brand new alleles the others just modify the rates at which preexisting alleles appear in the population.
