The tetrad occurs during the first phase of meiosis. It is the foursome of chromatids that forms when replicated homologous chromosomes align. It must be formed for crossing over to occur. It is broken apart when the homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis I
The nurse needs to inform the patient that the reason she is developing facial hair is that the drug she is taking contains a hormone that causes male characteristics. It is an unfortunate side effect of the drug but as she needs the cortisone for her main health concerns it is unavoidable. She can also inform her that there are ways to keep the facial hair under control by recommending some products to use to help.
Answer:
The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.
Explanation:
There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.
A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.
A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.
The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.
Cell division, also called mitosis , occurs in multicellular organisms to create tissues, organs and organ systems.
The answer is: the water would not be released from the leaves.
<span>Transpiration is a water loss from a plant in the form of water vapor through small pores on the leaves. Plants take water from a soil through roots and release it into atmosphere through the leaves. This happens due to water gradient from the roots to the leaves. If for any reason transpiration stops, the water could not be released from the leaves, and consequently, the less water will be absorbed from the soil.</span>
