A cell with 80 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. How many chromosomes are found in the daughter cells? How many daughter cells are

produced? Are the daughter cells identical to one another or different from one another?

Answer:

Four daughter cells are produced each with 40 chromosomes. The daughter cells would exhibit genetic variations and would not be genetically identical to each other.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division that forms four daughter cells from one parent cell as two sequential division meiosis I and meiosis II do not include any DNA replication between them. Crossing over during prophase-I of meiosis-I includes the exchange of genetic segments and occurs between the homologous chromosomes. It produces new gene combinations in the daughter cells which were otherwise not present in the parent cell.

Since there is no DNA replication between meiosis I and meiosis II, the daughter cells have half the number of the chromosomes compared to the parent cell. This occurs as homologous chromosomes move towards the opposite pole during anaphase I.

Therefore, a parent cell with 80 chromosomes will make a total of 4 daughter cells by meiosis. Each daughter cell would have 40 chromosomes. These daughter cells would have some new gene combinations and would be genetically dissimilar among themselves.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Moth populations should be monitored in both, normal wheat and engineered wheat

Explanation:

Genetically engineered wheat crop means that the genome of the wheat is being manipulated by the techniques of biotechnology. Gene for the resistance to moths is introduced into wheat in order for plant to become protected. Determination of resistance should be performed via monitoring of control group (normal wheat, not resistance to moth) and engineered wheat (potentially resistant) and their comparation. Moth population should be decreased in the resistance plants.

6. Think and discuss: Did the changes you observed in the moth populations result from
irina [24]

Answer:

The changes I observed in the moth populations result from the best-hidden moths surviving and reproducing, passing on their colors to their offspring. Why? Because individuals NEVER evolve, populations do. The second option fits best with Darwin's theory of natural selection, in which he stated that individuals with the most favorable traits are the ones to survive and reproduce, thus passing their traits onto the future population. The first choice incorrectly believes in Lamarck's theory of evolution in which he incorrectly believed that individual organisms in the population developed a trait that would help them survive (e.g. longer necks in giraffes).
