One commonality is the ability to grow and reproduce through the production of new cells; cell division.

Answer:

The correct answer is both produce two daughter cells from one parent cell with the same genetic material.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division producing two daughter cells with the same genetic material while binary fission is a way of asexual reproduction producing two two daughter cells from a single parent.

The process of both the processes are similar in a way that both the process produces two daughter cells by duplicating its genetic material-DNA, then DNA is pulled to the separate poles. The cell then undergoes cytokinesis, dividing the parent cell into two daughter cells, each receiving the same genetic material as of parent cell.

Thus, both produce two daughter cells from one parent cell with the same genetic material is the correct answer.

Parental Phenotypes: "Yellow-Smooth", "Yellow-Wrinkled", "Green-Smooth", "Green Wrinkled".

Parental Genotypes: SsGg × SsGg

Parental Gametes: SG, Sg, sG, sg

<span>Smooth/Green </span>= S-G- = 9

<span>Winkled/Green </span>= ssG- = 3

Smooth/Yellow = S-gg = 3

Wrinkled/Yellow = ssgg = 1

Ratio would be: 9: 3: 3: 1

Hope this helps!

The mutation that causes sickle cell disease in humans is

IgorC [24]

Answer: Missense mutation

Explanation:

Missense mutation is a type of point mutation where a single nucleotide is changed to cause substitution of a different amino acid. This in turns render the resulting protein non-functional.

In the case of sickle-cell disease, the sixth amino acid in the gene sequence, glutamate (GAG) is substituted with valine (GUA), due to Adenine nucleotide changed to Uracil nucleotide. Thus, missense mutation has occurred

In a certain group of African people, 4% are born with sickle-cell disease, an autosomal recessive disorder. Heterozygous indivi

love history [14]

Answer:

the correct answer is C) 32%

Explanation:

Sickle-cell anaemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Individuals with the homozygous recessive have sickle-shaped blood cells. Whereas, individuals with heterozygous are only carrier of sickle cell trait. The carrier individuals are resistant to malarial parasite and do not have malaria.

As per the question, 4% of an African population is born with sickle-cell disease, then the percentage of the population is heterozygous and resistant to malaria will be:

Hardy-Weinberg formula is equilibrium,

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

p2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Given, homozygous recessive for this gene (q2) is 4% which is 0.04, the square root (q) is 0.2 (20%) then p should be 1-0.2 = 0.8 (20%).

Thus, the frequency of heterozygous individuals = 2pq.

2 (0.8 x 0.2) = 0.32 (32%).
