You are involved in an experiment involving fluorescent painting of chromosomes. You observe the following in a nucleus experien

cing homologous pairing in metaphase I of meiosis. At appears that four chromosomes have become paired, with each chromosome pairing with two others (centromeres appear as white circles, and the four chromosomes appear in different colors). What is the best explanation of this finding

Answer:

It seems that a reciprocal translocation is going on.

Explanation:

A translocation occurs when a chromosomal fragment changes its location in the same chromosome from the original to a new one. Or when it leaves the chromosome to re-locate in a new different chromosome.

According to this, there are different types of translocations:

  • Intrachromosomal translocations:
  1. Intra-radial: the change in position occurs in the same arm of the chromosome. For instance, 123.456789 → 123.478569
  2. Extra-radial: The change in position occurs from one arm to the other of the same chromosome. For instance, 123.456789 → 15623.4789
  • Extrachromosomal translocations:
  1. Transposition: not reciprocal interchange. The fragment leaves a chromosome to re-locate in another chromosome. The other chromosome does not send any fragment to the first one.
  2. Reciprocal translocation: There is a reciprocal interchange. A fragment of chromosome A goes to B, and a fragment of chromosome B goes to A.

Reciprocal translocations might be:

  1. Fraternal: the interchange occurs among homologous chromosomes
  2. External: the interchange occurs among non-homologous chromosomes

Reciprocal translocations are easily recognized during meiosis because an association between four chromosomes can be observed.  This association is a quadrivalent structure.

During metaphase 1, the centromeres involved in the quadrivalent originate centromeric co-orientation or disjunction.

Calculate the mass of the book on the moon.<br> On moon surface gravity (g) is 1.6 N/kg
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The Moon has a smaller mass than the Earth and so the pull of gravity by the moon on an object is smaller than on the earth. The moon has a smaller gravitational field strength. On the Moon, g = 1.6 N/kg.

Which of these is happening when translation takes place?
beks73 [17]


The answer is B

Before the process of translation occurs, mRNA which bears the blue print or coded information for the synthesis of a specific protein arrives from the nucleus and into the cytoplasm where there are ribosomes

mRNA then attaches itself to a ribosome. The ribosome is the site where the protein is formed. It is sometimes referred to as the "work bench" of the cell. Once mRNA is attached, tRNA comes and begins to read and translate the coded information on the mRNA. This is the translation stage of  protein synthesis.

Based on the translated information, tRNA then fetches amino acids  from the pool of free amino acids found in the cytoplasm and brings them to the ribosome where they are joined to form a chain thus creating a protein.
