Q1. The answer is 53 chromosomes

Zebra has 44 diploid chromosomes (2n = 44). Zebra's gametes are haploid, so they will have 22 chromosomes (n = 22).
Donkey has 62 diploid chromosomes (2n = 62). Zebra's gametes are haploid, so they will have 31 chromosomes (n = 31).
After fusion of zebra's gamete (n = 22) and donkey's gamete (n = 31), the zonkey's zygote will have 22 + 31 = 53 chromosomes


Q2 and Q3. In the meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half. Since zonkey has 53 chromosomes, after meiosis it should have 53/2 chromosomes, which is not the whole number. This is the reason why they cannot produce normal gametes that will result, after the fusion, in the production of normal diploid zygote

Why is it impossible for offspring to show recessive trait if one parent is homozygous for the dominant trait?
Luden [163]

If you make a punnet square out of this, there is no possibility to have a recessive trait because neither parents have it plus dominant is always going to overrule recessive traits.

siniylev [52]

Answer;

-Sympathetic nervous system

After cheering wildly at an exciting football game your body may begin to relax on the way home. This relaxation reflects activity of the sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation;

The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system, which also includes the parasympathetic nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system activates what is often termed the fight or flight response. Like other parts of the nervous system, the sympathetic nervous system operates through a series of interconnected neurons. Sympathetic neurons are frequently considered part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), although there are many that lie within the central nervous system

Which of these CORRECTLY explains the difference between the processes of photosynthesis and respiration?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The correct answer would be C) The Calvin cycle takes place only in the chloroplast.

The major difference between photosynthesis and respiration is that photosynthesis takes place only in plants while respiration takes place in all the living organisms including plants and humans.

Green plants and few bacteria contain special organelle called chloroplast which enables them to perform photosynthesis.

Hence, Calvin cycle (light independent phase of photosynthesis) takes place only in plants that too in chloroplasts.

In contrast, Krebs cycle usually takes place in mitochondria in both plants and animals and glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.

The electron transport chain takes place in mitochondria in animals whereas in plants it takes place in both mitochondria and thylakoid membrane.

Describe a hypothetical result of the fluctuation test that would have supported the hypothesis that mutations occur in response
OlgaM077 [116]

In order to support the hypothesis that mutations occur in response to an environmental challenge, the experiment in question would have to show an increase in mutation rates shortly after the environmental challenge was introduced.

When we test a hypothesis, we perform an experiment and gather data over the course of the testing. In order to obtain evidence that supports a hypothesis, we have to ensure that only one variable is changing and be sure to repeat the experiment to confirm the values measured.

Taking this into account, a hypothetical result of the fluctuation test that would support the hypothesis of mutations in reaction to environmental challenges would be to measure a spike in mutation rates in the generation following an environmental challenge, and then continue to do so with future post-challenge generations.
