<span>Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), are <span>ligand-gated ion channels and they can be a Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ion channel. Since nifedipine is a Ca2+ channel blocker (Ca2+ channel antagonist), it might inhibit the response of acetylcholine (if its receptor is Ca channel).</span></span>
Cell division starts with one parent cell and finishes with two cells. Each daughter cell has the same DNA as the parent cell
Answer:
e. Red segregated from brown in meiosis I, and straight segregated from curled in meiosis I.
Explanation:
A cross between two flies heterozygous for both genes produced an offspring with the phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is expected according to Mendel's law of independent assortment, which states that alleles of the same gene assort independently during gamete formation.
Before meiosis starts in flies, a single diploid cell duplicates its DNA, so each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids that contain the same information.
- During meiosis I, <u>the homologous chromosomes separate</u> into two daughter cells. The chromosome number is reduced by half, but each chromosome has two sister chromatids.
- During meiosis II, <u>the sister chromatids separate</u> and each daughter cell from meiosis I divides into two new daughter cells (to get the total of 4 haploid cells).
In a heterozygous fly, each homologous chromosome contains a different allele, and the sister chromatids are copies that carry the same allele. For that reason, both traits were segregated during meiosis I.
