Answer:

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is an exception to Mendel's pattern of inheritance as he described in his LAW of DOMINANCE, that in an heterozygous state, an allele will mask the expression of its variant pair in a gene. Incomplete dominance has shown that an allele might not be completely dominant over its pair but instead form a hybrid that possesses an intermediate phenotype that is the combination of both parental phenotypes.

An example is when Mendel crossed peas that produced red flowers (RR) will peas that produced white flowers (rr). The red flower allele (R) did not show complete dominance over the white flower allele, instead a heterozygote F1 offspring (Rr) with pink flowers was produced. The pink color was an intermediate phenotype of both white and red.

You examine an epithelial cell (skin cell) and notice the chromosomes are visible however it appears there are two nuclei in the

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The best explanation if we observe an epithelial cell with chromosomes are visible and two cell nuclei is that the cell has just gone through telophase but not cytokinesis (option b).

Explanation:

A somatic cell, when found in mitosis, exhibits the chromosomes distributed in both poles and the outline of two nuclei in the telophase phase, just before cytokinesis.

In mitotic telophase:

Chromatids, which are chromosomes, are found in the cell poles.
It initiates the formation of the nucleus membrane.
The chromosomes begin to turn into chromatin.
Disappearance of the mitotic spindle, duplication of organelles and cytoplasmic invagination.

The division and differentiation of the nuclei in telophase is called karyokinesis. Later, cytokinesis occurs, where the daughter cells are separated.

The other options are not correct because:

a and d. In the other phases described, S and G1, no chromosome distribution is observed at the poles.

c. A somatic cell does not experience meiosis.

How are the hardy-weinberg principles used in the analysis of codis genotypes and other strp-locus comparisons?

lana66690 [7]

HWE is used with COIDS and non CODIS eligible DNA profiles to provide statistical caluclations for the rarity or uniqueness of profiles. Each STR kit test for a certian number of loci. Each lous has a set ladder of observed alleles. Each of these alleles has value for its observed frequency in a population. It is the rarity of each allele at each location that will give you the value for rarity of the profile as a whole. This rarity fo the profile is calucalted in CODIS under certian circumstances using to determine the eligibilty of a partial profile or a forensic mixture to determine its eligiblity for the different leves of the database.
