Dog gametes contain 33 chromosomes. What is the genetic content of a dog body cell?

Biology

Answer:

If a dog's gametes have 33 chromosomes, the somatic or body cells have a genetic content of 66 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Gametes are the sex cells of sexually-reproducing organisms, with the characteristic of being haploid, that is, their<u> genetic content is reduced by half</u>. Unlike gametes, somatic or <u>body cells</u><u> contain the complete charge of chromosomes</u>, so they are called diploids.

If the genetic content of a dog's gamete is 33 chromosomes, its body cells must have twice as many, which means 66 chromosomes.

<em>     </em><em><u>An additional note</u></em><em>: a dog really has 78 chromosomes, so its gametes have 39 chromosomes. </em>

A type of a balanced stretch involves targeting a specific muscle group. When stretching, a person should be aware of the agonist and antagonist muscles being stretched in able to create a balance between the joints where the muscles are attached. Stretching is an important phase in the exercise cycle and should not be missed as this prevents injuries in the joints and increases the blood flow into the muscles that were used during the activity. Stretching also contributes to lessening the lactic acid build up that happens during physical activity.</span>

joja [24]

Answer:

a. True

b. True

c. False

d. True

e. False

f. False

g. True

Explanation:

The homeotic genes refer to evolutionarily conserved genes that modulate the development of different structures in organisms of the same groups (in this case, plants).  Moreover, homeobox genes are genes that encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of development in eukaryotic organisms. The knotted1 (<em>kn1</em>) gene is a plant homeobox gene is a member of the <em>kn1</em> homeobox (<em>knox</em>) gene family, which is responsible for maintaining indeterminacy and preventing cellular differentiation. In maize, <em>kn1</em> plays a key role in maintaining the cells of the shoot apical meristem in an undifferentiated state, being mainly expressed in shoot meristems during postembryonic stages of shoot development. It has been observed that maize mutant plants where <em>kn1</em> is ectopically expressed (i.e., in tissues in which this gene is not normally expressed) exhibit proximal-distal patterning defects.
