Answer:

47 chromosomes

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of division that reduces the chromosome number of the daughter cells by half i.e. 2n - n. It occurs only in reproductive cells to produce sex cells or gametes. In humans, meiosis occurs to produce gametes (egg and sperm) that have 23 haploid chromosomes.

N.B: Somatic human cells have 46 chromosomes

According to this question, a meiotic error occurred during gamete formation, resulting in an egg that has 24 chromosomes. If that egg is fertilized by a normal sperm i.e. sperm with 23 chromosomes. A zygote that posseses (23 + 24) = 47 chromosomes will be produced.

Many genes are involved in coat color and coat patterns in cats. The autosomal Dominant white (Wd ) allele results in pure-white
dsp73

Answer: The parents of the white cat would be a dominant white cat and a recessive colored coat cat.  The parents of the autosomal tabby would be a dominant tabby and either a recessive brown cat, striped cat, or a recessive black cat.

Explanation:

The genotypes and phenotypes would be : WW- Dominant white and ww- recessive color coat cat; their offspring would be 100% recessive white kittens

TT- dominant tabby and a recessive brown cat; their children would be 100%- dominant brown tabby

TT- dominant tabby and a recessive striped cat; children would be 100%- brown striped

TT- dominant tabby and a recessive black cat; children would be 100%- tabby kittens

A stem cell that has the potential to differentiate into any cell derived from either the endoderm, ectoderm, or mesoderm lineag
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Totipotential.

Explanation:

There are different cell potencies. A <u>totipotent</u> cell is a stem cell that can divide itself and <u>differentiate in any cell </u>that the organism needs. That is to say, endodermal cells, ectodermal cells, mesodermal cells, or extra-embryonic tissues. As cells differentiate themselves, they can gradually lose their potential. The cell's category that follows is pluripotent cells. These are stem cells that can only differentiate into ectoderm cells, endoderm cells, or mesoderm cells. Then we have multipotent cells, which differentiate into tissue cells. The next category is oligopotent cells. They give a limited number of specific cells, and lastly unipotent cells, only differentiate in one type of cell.
