Biology
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Chromosomes are a microscopic thread-like structure, and it is the part of a cell that carries hereditary information in the form of genes.

Homologous chromosomes the relationship between two chromosome, consists of the same gene sequence, each derived from one parent. They consist of alleles of the same type of genes in the same loci. Homologous chromosomes pair up during the process of meiosis 1. The part of the Homologous chromosomes can be exchanged during the process of recombination. Examples of these are 22 autosomal chromosomes in humans.

Non-homologous chromosomes do not belong to the same pair, they consist of alleles of different types. Non-homologous chromosomes do not pair up during the process of meiosis 1. The part of the Non-homologous chromosomes can be exchanged during the process of translocation. Examples are X and Y chromosomes.

Polar bear somatic cells contain 74 total chromosomes. how many chromosomes would a polar bear egg cell contain?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 37.

Egg or sperm or gametes are cells produced by the process of meiosis and carry half the number of chromosome (n) present in a parental cell (2n).

Meiosis is a type of cell division which results in the formation of four daughter cells each having exactly half the number of chromosome present in  parent cell.

The sperm unite or fertilize with egg which restore the chromosome number (2n) in the zygote.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

One of the species of early Homo known as Homo habilis exhibits the cranial capacity of 752 cubic centimeters. Homo erectus possesses the cranial capacity of approximately 900 cubic centimeters. Homo floresiensis exhibits the cranial capacity of 417 cubic centimeters, while Homo heidelbergenesis exhibits the cranial capacity of 1200 cubic centimeters. Therefore, after aligning these hominins on the basis of the smallest to largest cranial capacity, the correct answer will be option b.
