An ecologist is studying a desert ecosystem like the one modeled in the energy pyramid. Which of the limiting factors would affe

ct the carrying capacity of the population of insects in this ecosystem?
A. The number of cacti, flowering shrubs, and desert trees that could grow during an extended dry period.

B. A group of small birds that immigrated to the desert during a drought

C. A group of birds of prey that emigrated from the desert because of an extended dry period.

D. All of these would affect the carrying capacity of the insect population.

E. None of these would affect the carrying capacity of the insect population because only abiotic factors can do that.

The diploid number of chromosomes in the mustard plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, is 10. Knowing this, answer the following question
lukranit [14]

Answer:

10 chromosomes/sister chromatids

Explanation:

Prophase is the first stage of cell division (mitosis). Prior to the cell entering the actual division stage, it undergoes a phase where it prepares its content and most importantly undergo the duplication of its genetic material (DNA). This DNA are found as chromosomes. It undergoes replication of its DNA in the S-phase of interphase stage.

Since Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 chromosomes, and each chromosome holds one DNA molecule, 10 molecules of DNA will be present in the mustard plant's genome. These 10 molecules of DNA will be replicated on another copy of chromosome which is identical to the template. This chromosomes are called SISTER chromatids i.e. replicated chromosome. Each sister chromatids are held together at the centromere and are considered one individual chromosome until they separate during anaphase stage.

Hence, at the Prophase stage, before separation, each sister chromatid (replicated chromosome) is considered as one chromosome. Thus, in the mustard plant with 10 chromosomes, it will possess 10 sister chromatids or chromosomes at the Prophase stage.

N.B: When sister chromatids separate during anaphase stage, they will be regarded as individual chromosomes.
