Codominance - <span>A form of dominance in which the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed thereby resulting in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive.
</span>Mutation<span> occurs when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer would be 10.
The cell cycle can be divided into four phases namely gap 1 (G₁) phase , synthesis (S) phase, gap 2 (G₂) phase, and mitosis (M) phase.
DNA (deoxyribonuceic acid) content is only replicated and doubled in the S phase. However, the chromosome number remains the same. It can be explained as the number of chromosomes remains the same (2n) but number of chromatids doubles (4n) after S phase.
The number of chromatids restores to 2n in daughter cells after completion of mitosis.
Hence, if number of chromatids in metaphase was 20 i.e. 4n then the number of chromosomes (2n) would be 10.
Hence, 10 chromosomes or 5 pairs of chromosome would be present in the cell during its G₁ phase.
<span>It is going to depend on what you consider stable. A
diverse population would be more resistant to disease because of simple
biology. The more sources for possible resistance the better the
heterogeneous pool will be at resisting disease. You also have to take
in to consideration things like the availability of modern medicine and
the ability to be isolated during illness. </span><span>
Personally I think it has to do with the fact that many of the worlds
more diverse population centers are also many of the worlds largest
population centers which make them less prone to invasion on that basis
alone. </span>
