Answer:

 The genotype of a plant with bumpy pods would be aa, while the genotype of a plant with smooth pods would have to be either AA or Aa.

Explanation:

 The smooth pod allele ("A") is dominant, which means it overwrites the bumpy pod allele ("a"), which is recessive.

 Because of this, all genotypes with at least one "A" in them are smooth. This includes "AA" and "Aa."

 The only way for a pod to be bumpy here is if there aren't any dominant alleles to nullify it. That means plants with bumpy pods can only have the "aa" genotype.

[Note: I didn't use the letter "a" for any particular reason. The specific letter isn't relevant here.]

If a cell has a diploid number of 8 (2n = 8) before meiosis, how many chromosomes will be in each of the four daughter cells aft
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The final product is four gametes, two of them with 5 chromosomes, and the other two with 3 chromosomes each.

Explanation:

If nondisjunction occurs during meiosis 1, a pair of homologous chromosomes fail to separate, and one of the daughter cells will have the two chromosomes while the other cell will not get any chromosome from the pair.

If meiosis 1 occurs normally, but nondisjunction occurs in meiosis 2, sister chromatids fail to separate.  

The usual process of meiosis produces four daughter haploid cells (n) from a diploid germ cell (2n). Each daughter cell is haploid because they have half the number of chromosomes of the original one.  

If the diploid number of the original cell is 8 (2n=8), then under normal conditions, each haploid daughter cell should have 4 chromosomes (n = 4).  

But in the exposed example, one pair of homologous chromosomes experiences nondisjunction during meiosis I (in the attached file, you will recognize this pair as the red one). The other chromosomes separate as usual. So one of the daughter cells will have one extra chromosome than expected (five instead of four), and the other daughter cell will lack one chromosome (three instead of four). Meiosis II occurs normally. The final result is the formation of four gametes, two of them with 5 chromosomes, and the other two with 3 chromosomes each.
