How can a zygote receive an abnormal chromosome number?

Biology
1 answer:
noname [10]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Some chromosomal conditions are caused by changes in the number of chromosomes. These changes are not inherited, but occur as random events during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm). An error in cell division called nondisjunction results in reproductive cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes

Chromosome abnormalities often happen due to one or more of these: Errors during dividing of sex cells (meiosis) Errors during dividing of other cells (mitosis) Exposure to substances that cause birth defects (teratogens)

Norma-Jean [14]
The answer is False!

P - dominant allele for inflated pods
p - recessive allele for inflated pods
PP - homozygote with inflated pods
Pp - heterozygote with inflated pods
pp - homozygote with inflated pods

S - dominant allele for round seeds
s - recessive allele for wrinkled seeds
SS - homozygote with round seeds
Ss - heterozygote with round seeds
ss - homozygote with wrinkled seeds

1. <span>A Pea plant that is homozygous for inflated pods are heterozygous for round seeds: PPSs
2. A</span><span> plant that is heterozygous for inflated pods and a homozygous for wrinkled seeds: Ppss

Let's look at their genotypes separately, and cross them that way:

Parents:              PP       x      Pp
Offspring:     PP      PP      Pp     Pp
All of the offspring will have the same phenotype (100% = 1). So, this trait does not affect phenotypic ratio

</span>Parents:              Ss       x      ss
Offspring:     Ss      Ss      ss     ss
Half of the offspring will have wrinkled seeds and half of them will have round seeds: 50% : 50% = 1 : 1

So, the phenotypic ratio is not  1 : 3

liberstina [14]

The correct answer is option (D) Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.

Lipids are organic compounds made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A glycerol is a organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups and a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.

Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules with no charge on their ends. Waxes are long chain nonpolar lipids. The water repelling property of the waxes prevent the water sticking to it and appear as water beads on its surface. The hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of the fatty acids are hydrophobic in nature making them repel water. The presence of wax on the surface of the plants and animals protects them from dehydration.

Thus, the nonpolar property of lipids make it insoluble in the polar solvents like water as there is no interaction or sharing of electrons between them.

Explain two different perspectives of different marine industries on the carbon cycle.
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The marine industries affected the marine life and ocean water in many ways. When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, the water becomes more acidic and the ocean's pH drops. In the past two hundred years alone, ocean water has become 30 percent more acidic and faster than any known change in ocean chemistry in the last million years.

Hope it helps!

Why do we have so much dna?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Of the trillions of cells that compose our body, from neurons that relay signals throughout the brain to immune cells that help defend our bodies from constant external assault, almost every one contains the same 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome – the entirety of our genetic material. It is remarkable that each of the over 200 cell types in the body interprets this identical information very differently in order to perform the functions necessary to keep us alive. This demonstrates that we need to look beyond the sequence of DNA itself in order to understand how an organism and its cells function.
