You may have heard through various media of an animal alleged to be the hybrid of a rabbit and a cat. Given that the cat (Felis

domesticus) has a diploid chromosome number of 38 and a rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has a diploid chromosome number of 44, what would be the expected chromosome number in the somatic tissues of this alleged hybrid

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2n = 41 chromosomes.

Explanation:

It is given that the cat has a diploid chromosome number of 38 while the rabbit has a diploid number of 44 chromosomes and if they form a hybrid then their expected chromosome number in somatic cells would be -

Cat (2n=38) produces haploid gametes with 19 chromosomes (n-19).

Rabbit (2n=44) produces haploid gametes with 22 chromosomes(n=22)

19+22= 41 chromosomes in the particular hybrid as half number of chromosomes come from each parent.

A protein can begin to fold and to bind to other proteins while still being synthesized on the ribosome. True False
Gennadij [26K]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

his amazing artwork shows a process that takes place in the cells of all living things: the production of proteins. This process is called protein synthesis, and it actually consists of two processes — transcription and translation. In eukaryotic cells, transcription takes place in the nucleus. During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). The molecule of mRNA then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. During translation, the genetic code in mRNA is read and used to make a protein. These two processes are summed up by the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA → RNA → Protein.

A 12 pound shot put and a small metal BB are dropped from a tall tower, inside a vacuum chamber,
hichkok12 [17]

Given what we know, we should observe the objects falling at the same speed in both the tower and vacuum scenarios, but not in the water.

<h3>What affects the speeds at which these objects fall?</h3>
  • The falling speeds in both air and a vacuum will be the same for both objects.
  • This is because falling speed is determined by gravity and is independent of the mass of the objects falling.
  • The same will occur in water if and only if the densities of the two objects are equal.

Therefore, given that we can safely assume that the densities of the two objects are different from one another, we can confirm that while the objects will fall at the same speed in air and in a vacuum, this will not be the case in the deep pool.
