A research biologist is studying cells from a new organism recently discovered in the Brazilian rainforest. She determines that

the somates contain a total of 10 chromosomes. How many possible combinations of chromosomes could this organism produce as a result of independent assortment

Answer:

32 possible combination of chromosome

Explanation:

According to the law of independent assortment as proposed by Mendel, alleles of a gene will separate into gamete independently of the alleles of another gene. Since this organism contains 10 chromosomes in its somatic cell, it will undergo meiosis to produce half number of chromosomes in its gametes i.e. 5 chromosomes.

If we know the haploid number of chromosomes of an organism i.e. n, we can calculate the possible combination of chromosomes that will be present in its gametes as a result of independent assortment during meiosis using the formula:

2^n, where n= haploid no. of chromosome

If n is 5 chromosome in this case, the possible combination of chromosome in its gametes will be 2^5 = 32. Hence, as a result of independent assortment, an organism with 10 chromosome in its somatic cell will produce 32 possible combinations of chromosome in its gametes.

What are the economic importance of coelenterates??​
aalyn [17]

Answer: Coelenterates as a whole are of little economic importance. Seldom used as food by man, they are eagerly devoured by certain fishes and by invertebrates such as the crown of thorns starfish. Certain corals used as ornaments and for the manufacture of jewelry have become rare because of exploitation.

A person with a phenotype of HbSS has sickle cell disease. A person with a phenotype of HbAS allele carries the sickle cell trai
makkiz [27]

The right answer is 1/4.

Two carriers of the disease each have a chance in two to transmit their sick gene ie: 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

A genetic disease is said to be autosomal recessive when

The gene involved is carried by an autosome (non-sex chromosome, X or Y in XY system of sexual determination);

The associated phenotype of this trait is recessive (the presence of two identical alleles is essential for the character to be expressed).

One of the two alleles is transmitted by the male gamete, the other by the female gamete.

But being a carrier of the mutation does not necessarily mean being sick, the manifestations of a genetic disease depend on its penetrance and the variability of its expression.

What are three types of body shapes that can result from the structure of a skeleton?
Marizza181 [45]
The three different skeletal designs that give a body its shape are:
Hydrostatic skeleton-contraction of muscles occur for changing cooler, due to which movement is caused.
Exoskeleton-external skeleton composed of calcium carbonate and chitin
Endoskeleton-body's internal system made of hard mineralised components.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

884 grams of glycogen

Explanation:

Jordan's body weight = 130 pounds

Rate of storage of glycogen per pound of bodyweight = 6.8 grams

Total grams of glycogen that Jordan can store at maximum capacity:

  <em>bodyweight x rate of storage</em>

      = 130  x 6.8 grams

           = 884 grams

<em>Hence, Jordan is storing </em><em>884 grams </em><em>of glycogen in her body.</em>
