Two cell divisions mitosis or meiosis

Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.[1]Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle. In eukaryotes, there are two distinct types of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis),[2] and a reproductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half to produce haploid gametes(meiosis). Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells by undergoing one round of DNA replication followed by two divisions. Homologous chromosomes are separated in the first division, and sister chromatids are separated in the second division. Both of these cell division cycles are used in the process of sexual reproduction at some point in their life cycle. Both are believed to be present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

Prokaryotes (bacteria) undergo a vegetative cell division known as binary fission, where their genetic material is segregated equally into two daughter cells. All cell divisions, regardless of organism, are preceded by a single round of DNA replication.

For simple unicellular microorganisms such as the amoeba, one cell division is equivalent to reproduction – an entire new organism is created. On a larger scale, mitotic cell division can create progeny from multicellular organisms, such as plants that grow from cuttings. Mitotic cell division enables sexually reproducing organisms to develop from the one-celled zygote, which itself was produced by meiotic cell division from gametes. After growth, cell division by mitosis allows for continual construction and repair of the organism.[3] The human body experiences about 10 quadrillion cell divisions in a lifetime.[4]

The primary concern of cell division is the maintenance of the original cell's genome. Before division can occur, the genomic information that is stored in chromosomes must be replicated, and the duplicated genome must be separated cleanly between cells.[5] A great deal of cellular infrastructure is involved in keeping genomic information consistent between generations.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

Brown is the dominant gene and white is the recessive gene.

Explanation:

If brown were to be dominant then the mice would most likely all be brown unless the got both a white from mom and dad which is most likely due to brown being recessive the dad could be part white you just wouldn't see it. And since the mother is white all of the mice get a white gene from the mom and since the dad most likely has a white gene hidden inside of him only tow mice became fully white while the siblings were brown.

Hope this helps.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

1)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice  ≅ 0.74
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.26

2)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.87

3)

  • q² = 0.74
  • p² = 0.02
  • 2pq = 0.24      

4)

  • q² = 0.13
  • p² = 0.4
  • 2pq = 0.46

5)

The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage

6)

Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.

7)

Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.

8)

To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.
