if a parent cell has 10 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis

2 answers:

7 0

10 chromosomes (each made of 2 sister chromatids) are present during metaphase. 20 chromosomes are present during anaphase because sister chromatids have been pulled apart. After telophase and cytokines, the new daughter cells have 10 chromosomes

Answer:

Explanation:

Mitosis is the division of somatic cells in which the genetic content or number of chromosomes remain intact in daughter cells.

So the correct option is 10

Debora [2.8K]

This question is incorrect but here is the correct question below;

An additional gene,gene W was also examined. a test cross was made between true breeding EEWW flies and eeww flies. The resulting F₁ generation was then crossed with eeww flies. 100 offspring in the F₂ generation were examined and it was discovered that the E and W genes were not linked.

Which is the correct genotype of the F₂ offspring if the genes were linked and if the genes were not linked?

a) Linked: 50% EeWw and 50% eeww; not linked: 25% EeWw, 25% Eeww, 25% eeWw and 25% eeww.

b) Linked: 25% Eeww, 50% eeWw; not linked:parental genotypes EeWw and eeww.

c) Linked genotypes (EeWw and eeww) and recombinant genotype ( Eeww & eeWw) in the F₂ generation are nearly the same irrespective of their linkage.

d) Linked: mostly with parental genotypes, Eeww and eeWw; unlinked: 25% EeWw and eeww with 75% Eeww and eeWw.

Answer:

a) Linked: 50% EeWw and 50% eeww; not linked: 25% EeWw, 25% Eeww, 25% eeWw and 25% eeww.

Explanation:

a test cross was made between true breeding EEWW flies and eeww flies

If EEWW self crossed, we have the following ( EW, EW, EW, EW)

Also, for eeww, we have ( ew, ew, ew, ew)

EW EW EW EW

ew EWew EWew EWew EWew

All offspring are (EWew)

The question goes further by saying "The resulting F₁ generation was then crossed with eeww flies".

And we are asked to find the correct genotype of the F₂ offspring if the genes were linked and if the genes were not linked

∴

To determine the offsprings of the linked genes we need to go by the definition and understand what linked genes are: Linked genes are genes that are physically close together on the same chromosomes. Effect of recombinantion on linked genes, results in gene swaps which occur in chromosomes that are homologous.

Having said that; If EWew × eeww

we have; EW & ew × ew & ew

EW ew

ew EeWw eeww

offspring that

are linked in ⇒ EeWw EeWw & eeww eeww

F₂ will be

$\frac{1}{2}$ = 50% of EeWw of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{2}$ = 50% of eeww of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

∴ Linked genes = 50% EeWw and 50% eeww.

For unlinked genes; If EWew × eeww

if rearrangement occurs in EWew and EWew self crossed, we have ( EW,Ew,eW,ew) as the traits needed for the unlinked gene F₂ crossing.

Also ewew will be (ew, ew, ew, ew).

EW Ew eW ew

ew EeWw Eeww eeWw eeww

We have the following results for the unlinked genes

$\frac{1}{4}$ = EeWw 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{4}$ = Eeww 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{4}$ = eeWw 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

$\frac{1}{4}$ = eeww 25% of the total 100 offspring in the F₂ cross

∴ not linked: 25% EeWw, 25% Eeww, 25% eeWw and 25% eeww.

Describe temperate grassland ecosystem characteristics. Include climate, an example of a producer, and an example of a consumer

tester [92]

A grassland is a biome where dominant vegetation is grasses, a consumer of this biome can be a herbivore (e.g., a rabbit). Coral reefs are home to millions of species of marine animals.

<h3>Coral reefs, seaweed and forest biome</h3>

Coral reefs are fundamental for protecting wildlife in marine ecosystems.

Seaweed is a common plant in the Euphotic Zone (Sunlight Zone, also called Epipelagic Zone), along with algae and phytoplankton.

Temperate broadleaf forests are represented by areas with marked warm and cool seasons that show moderate annual average temperatures (3 °C to 25 °C).

Examples of producers in a temperate broadleaf forest may be Eucalyptus species, whereas consumers may include, for example, elk, etc.

how are mutations continually being generated in a population (what are some of the causes of mutatuions?) explain

vampirchik [111]

Some causes could be the mother smoking, drinking, doing drugs etc. Or even simply her body doesn’t fully accept the baby growing inside her so it acts out against it. Sounds strange but it happens. Also if the mother is sick with Zika or another virus, it can harm the baby’s growth.
