Complete question:

Question: Contrast the genetic content and the origin of sister versus nonsister chromatids during their earliest appearance in prophase I of meiosis.

a) Sister chromatids are genetically similar, except where mutations may have occurred during DNA replication. Nonsister chromatids are genetically dissimilar.

b. Sister chromatids are genetically identical, except where mutations may have occurred during DNA replication. Nonsister chromatids are genetically similar if on homologous chromosomes and genetically dissimilar if on nonhomologous chromosomes.

c. Sister chromatids are genetically identical, except where mutations may have occurred during DNA replication. Nonsister chromatids are genetically similar.

d. Sister chromatids are not genetically similar, except where mutations may have occured during DNA replication. Nonsister chromatids are genetically similar if on homologous chromosomes and genetically dissimilar if on nonhomologous chromosomes.

Answer:

b. Sister chromatids are genetically identical, except where mutations may have occurred during DNA replication. Nonsister chromatids are genetically similar if on homologous chromosomes and genetically dissimilar if on nonhomologous chromosomes.

Explanation:

A chromosome has two chromatids after the S phase of the cell cycle. The replicated DNA molecules are accommodated in the sister chromatids. Therefore, two chromatids of a chromosome carry the identical DNA molecule and are genetically identical to each other. The sister chromatids may carry different genes if one or more mutation occurs in their DNA.

Two chromatids of two different chromosomes are called non-sister chromatids. Homologous chromosomes are the chromosomes that are similar in morphology and genetic constitution. Therefore, two chromatids of a homologous pair are also non-sister chromatids but have genetically identical sequences. For example, the two non-sister chromatids of the pair of chromosome 21 in humans carry the alleles for the same genes.

However, the non-sister chromatids that belong to nonhomologous chromosomes carry different genes and are not genetically identical.

Consider what would happen to a diploid plant when genes are destroyed by a mutation.

aniked [119]

Answer:

Two, usually

Explanation:

A diploid plant has two copies (alleles) of every gene. If one copy of the gene is destroyed by a mutation, the plant will likely be okay with its other copy, and the trait will still be expressed.

However, some traits require both copies of the gene to be expressed. For example, if one gene is destroyed that means only half the amount of the gene product is produced. If that is not enough protein for the trait to be expressed, then the trait will be lost.

Some students are performing a hydrobiology project on a creek. They obtained the GPP value as 7 mg/l and the R value as 3 mg/l.

mezya [45]

Ayo i think the answer is B, 10 mg/l. bc you would label the respiration rate as R, we come up with a neat little formula: NPP = GPP - R. hope this helps, have an amazing day :)
