Answer:

d. All red and blue chromosomes together make up a diploid set.

f. The chromosomes of one color make up a haploid set.

Explanation:

There are two principal types of cells in the organism:

Diploid cells (2n)

Somatic diploid cells (2n) reproduce by the process of mitosis and produce two diploid cells. These cells have a set of chromosomes inherited from the maternal side and another homologous set of chromosomes inherited from the paternal side. This is why the number of chromosomes in these double sets of the somatic cells is diploid, 2n.
Germ diploid reproductive cells (2n) also reproduce by mitosis and produce two diploid cells. But can also reproduce by the process of meiosis, suffering a reduction in the number of chromosomes and producing four haploid cells (n).

Haploid cells (n)

Gametes are the product of germ cell division by meiosis and contain half the number of chromosomes that are in the somatic cells. They have only one set of chromosomes, n (haploid). Their destiny is to merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called the zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete diploid cell that suffers successive mitosis and forms a new organism.

- So, through meiosis, the diploid germ cell (2n) produces four haploid cells (n) that are the gametes.

- Through fecundation or fertilization, two gametes (n) merge and produce a diploid cell (2n) that is the zygote.

In the example, red chromosomes belong to one gamete, and blue chromosomes belong to the other gamete, So

a. Red chromosomes make up a diploid set. False, they make up a haploid cell because they only are a single set of chromosomes.

b. All red and blue chromosomes together make up a haploid set. False. They come from two different gametes, which are haploid, so together they make up a diploid cell.

c. Blue chromosomes make up a diploid set. False, they make up a haploid cell because they only are a single set of chromosomes.

d. All red and blue chromosomes together make up a diploid set. TRUE. When both gametes merge (blue chromosomes + red chromosomes) they form a diploid cell.

e. The chromosomes of one color make up a diploid set. False. Nor red or blue chromosomes by themselves can make up a diploid cell, because they are a single set of chromosomes.

f. The chromosomes of one color make up a haploid set. TRUE. One gamete, with one single set of chromosomes, either red or blue, are haploid cells.

Give an example of spinal reflex and explain how the nervous system functions in this reflex action

Bad White [126]

The patellar reflex is the most common example or a spinal reflex. When the knee is tapped, the nerve that will receives this stimulus sends an impulse to the spinal cord and relay it to the motor nerve. This sources the quadriceps muscle at the front of the thigh to contract and twitch up the leg. This reflex contains simply two nerves and one synapse. The leg will start to twitch up on the other hand the brain is just suitable aware of the tap and comprehends the situation. Subsequently the tap, the leg is routinely lengthy once and comes to rest. The nonappearance of this reflex is problematical and recognized as westphals sign this reflex might be lessened or absent in lower motor neuron lesions and during sleep.

Suppose a gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant over the other. An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allel

Trava [24]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A. Two copies of the allele that determines phenotype whenever the allele is present

B. Two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent

C. One copy of the allele that determines phenotype when present and one copy of the other allele

D. One copy of each of two alleles that both contribute equally to determining phenotype

The answer is B.

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel, a Gene comes in two alternative forms called ALLELES. One allele called the DOMINANT ALLELE is capable of masking the phenotypic expression of the other called the RECESSIVE ALLELE. The dominant allele will always express itself whenever it is present. However, a recessive trait will only be expressed when two alleles for recessiveness occur in the gene.

An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allele will have two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent. This means that in that particular gene, the two present alleles will be recessive alleles.

suppose an organism's heart cells have 10 chromosomes. how many will it's eggs have?how many does its sperms cells have?

pickupchik [31]

The eggs will have 5 chromosomes and the sperm would have 5 chromosomes because when they combine, they equal to a total of 10 chromosomes.
