Mitosis is the process of multiplying, (replication) of chromosomes. So when this happens, one cell will split into two of the exact same identical cells.
<u>Answer:</u>
Ecosystem is the level of organization which includes a community, population, and an individual.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- An ecosystem is the dynamic system of biotic and abiotic components that helps to maintain the circle of life.
- In an ecosystem there are different species and population of those species that exist together within a physical environment that is composed up of soil, water, minerals as well as weather conditions and climates.
- In ecosystem, there is the food chain as well as food web. The change in any component of the biotic or abiotic component would bring about change in every other component. Each component is interrelated with one another in an ecosystem.
Answer:
e. Red segregated from brown in meiosis I, and straight segregated from curled in meiosis I.
Explanation:
A cross between two flies heterozygous for both genes produced an offspring with the phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is expected according to Mendel's law of independent assortment, which states that alleles of the same gene assort independently during gamete formation.
Before meiosis starts in flies, a single diploid cell duplicates its DNA, so each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids that contain the same information.
- During meiosis I, <u>the homologous chromosomes separate</u> into two daughter cells. The chromosome number is reduced by half, but each chromosome has two sister chromatids.
- During meiosis II, <u>the sister chromatids separate</u> and each daughter cell from meiosis I divides into two new daughter cells (to get the total of 4 haploid cells).
In a heterozygous fly, each homologous chromosome contains a different allele, and the sister chromatids are copies that carry the same allele. For that reason, both traits were segregated during meiosis I.
