Biology
1 answer:
astra-53 [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: The correct answer is D) The number of chromosomes remains the same in mitosis and is reduced by half in meiosis.

Explanation-

Mitosis and meiosis are the two forms of cell division. Mitosis occurs in all the living organisms. In mitosis, cell divides into two daughter, each having equal number of chromosomes with that of the parental cell. It is also a process of asexual reproduction.

Whereas, meiosis typically occurs in sexually reproducing organisms during gamete formation. In this process, the number of chromosomes are reduced to half as the homologous chromosomes are separated.

Thus, the number of chromosomes remains the same in mitosis and it is reduced by half in meiosis.

A plant contains the alleles Gg for green pod
Viefleur [7K]

Given:

Allele for green pod colour = Gg (Heterozygous)

Allele for Yellow pod colour = gg (Homozygous)

Explanation:

Parents: Gg x   gg

When this two parent are crossed, it leads to the following F1 generation (off springs):

<em>• Gg (green colour pod) </em>

<em>• Gg (Green colour pod) </em>

<em>• gg (Yellow colour pod) </em>

<em>• gg (Yellow colour pod) </em>

Form the produced offspring it can be inferred that the allele combination for green colour pod is Gg. Among the four off springs obtained 2/4 are green colour pod and 2/4 are yellow colour pod.

in pea plants round seeds are dominant and wrinkled seeds are recessive. the cross rr x rr, what percentage of the offspring wil
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

Round = Dominant

Wrinkled = recessive

Recessive = r

Dominant = R

homozygous dominant = RR

homozygous recessive = rr

Heterozygous= Rr

Since both seeds are homozygous recessive (rr)

In your punnet square, one lower case r will go on the top and the left side

r r

r

r

Something like that.

Go across your four boxes and you will end up with;

rr, rr

rr, rr

In order for it to be round, at least one box would need to have to be a heterozygous(Rr) or be a homozygous dominant.
