Answer:

Connect the centromere to microtubules. (Option A)

Explanation:

The kinetochore is known as the complex of protein which is disc shape in structure. The structure of kinetochore is divided into three parts: inner region, outer region, and fibrous corona. Each part of the kinetochore works in its own way in the separation of the sister chromatids.

During the process of cell division (mitosis, and meiosis) kinetochore collects on the centromere and allows the chromosome to link with microtubules.

Answer:

The answer is A) connects the centromere to microtubules.

Explanation:

kinetochore is a protein that makes up a chromatid during cell division and allows it to attach to a spindle fiber on a chromosome.

Kinetochore functions by anchoring chromosomes to microtubules in the spindle and attaching the centromere to the spindle fibers during mitosis among other functions.

This is the unequal distribution of ions across a cell membrane.
Nady [450]

Answer:

Concentration gradient

Explanation:

Concentration gradient of the ions across the membrane generates the membrane resting potential.

Concentration gradient means that there is unequal distribution of the ions on different sides of membrane. For example, the concentration of K ions is much higher within the cell then out of the cell. Opposite is with the Na ions. When ions move from the area of their higher concentration to the are with the lower concentration, we say they move down the gradient or diffuse (no energy required). On the other hand, movement of ions against their gradient means that this process requires energy and involves protein pumps.

In cats, the gene for Calico (multicolored) cats is an x-linked trait that is
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Considering the <u>whole progeny</u> (100%), there will be

  • 25% Black male kittens, XBY
  • 0% Calico Male kittens
  • 25% Calico female kittens, XBXR

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • The gene for Calico (multicolored) cats is an x-linked trait and codominant
  • Calico Females receive a "B" and an "R" gene, and have black and orange splotches on white coats. Their genotype is XBXR.
  • Males can only be black or orange, but never calico. Their genotype is XBY and XRY

Cross: a female calico cat with a black male

Parentals)   XBXR    x    XBY

Gametes)  XB  XR       XB   Y

Punnett square)    XB        XR

                   XB   XBXB   XBXR

                    Y      XBY      XRY  

F1) Among the whole progeny:

  •     2/4 = 50%  will be black (female XBXB and male XBY)
  •     1/4  = 25% will be Calico (female XBXR)
  •     1/4  = 25% will be Orange (male XRY)  

   Among females:

  •    1/2 = 50% of females will be black, XBXB
  •    1/2 = 50% of females will be Calico, XBXR

   Among males:

  •    1/2 = 50% of males will be black, XBY
  •    1/2 = 50% of males will be orange, XRY
