The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is allotetraploid, likely as a result of an interspecies mating long ago, followed by a

duplication of the entire genome. Xenopus laevis is fertile and has a normal life cycle. In contrast, mules, the allodiploid offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, are generally sterile. Why can Xenopus reproduce and mules cannot?

stepladder [879]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Xenopus laevis is allotetraploid: it has 2 sets of homologous chromosomes originally from one species and 2 sets of homologous chromosomes originally from another species, making a total of 4 sets of chromosomes. During meiosis, every chromosome has another homologous one with which it can pair, producing viable gametes that have the complete genetic information of the species.

Mules, however, are allodiploid: they have one set of chromosomes from a donkey and another set from a horse, making a total of 2 sets of chromosmes. But those two sets are not homologous, so during meiosis the chromosomes can't pair and the gametes will have errors that make them inviable, making mules sterile

Describe an experiment to investigate the effect of training on subjects ability to run faster without respire get anaerobically
Zinaida [17]
A runner HAS to use the anaerobic respiration process,first we need to know the difference between anaerobic respiration and aeorobic respiration 

<span>Anaerobic respiration is done by burning glucose directly without the presence of oxygen giving out lactic acid and energy </span>
<span>Aerobic respiration is done by burning glucose and oxygen giving out water + engergy + Co2 </span>

<span>1.) Take a stop-watch </span>
<span>2.) Take TWO or more runners </span>
<span>3.) Unlike Olympic race match ask ONE of the runners to run their fastes and the others to GRADUALLY speed up </span>
<span>4.) make the runners breath hard for air </span>
<span>5.) after finish line </span>
<span>6.) do a test of Lactic through urin test or use Lactometer (don't ask me how to use it 'cause I don't know lol) </span>
<span>7.) check the concerntration </span>
<span>8.) whoever has the LOWEST concerntration,take that runner time for running and meter to find speed you'll be able to spot out who has used aerobic respiration during the race</span>
