Answer:

<u>Codominance.</u> This is shown by the calico cats, who have both black and orange phenotypic expression; the black and orange are not mixed like incomplete dominance, and one is not entirely dominant over the other. (A common example is the roan cow, whose fur is a bit red, a bit white.)

<u>Sex-linked inheritance.</u> Since calico cats are said to always be female (which actually isn't entirely accurate, by the way) this means that the coat color is sex-linked. It's found on the X chromosome, so a female cat can have one X black and one X orange chromosome. This is only possible in males when they are nondisjunct and inherit two Xs along with their Y... but that's a completely different story. :)

Both mitosis and meiosis begin with a diploid cell that contains replicated chromosomes. What are the main differences between t
just olya [345]

Answer:

Hope this helps :)

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process by which cells duplicate.

Meiosis is a similar process which is just used to make reproductive cells such as eggs or sperm.

In mitosis, the cell DNA arranges into 46 chromosomes, duplicates, and then divides into two new cells.

In meiosis, the same duplication occurrs except four cells are created, each with only 23 chromosomes. (You know how you get half of them from each parent? This is so that the offspring have genetic variation.)

Another thing to notice about meiosis is that the cells are not identical like in mitosis, which simply duplicates them. Furthermore, in males all four sex cells are used as sperm but in females only one of these cells develops into an egg whereas the rest, called polar bodies, are reabsorbed into the body.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Normalmente, la meiosis causa la división del material cromosómico, de manera que cada padre aporte 23 cromosomas a un embarazo. Esto resulta en un óvulo o un espermatozoide que solo tiene 23 cromosomas. Cuando se produce la fertilización, se origina el número total normal de 46 cromosomas en el feto. I hope it helps you
