1. Compare and contrast the reasons cell division is important for unicellular (single-celled) and multicellular organisms.

Biology
1 answer:
OLga [1]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Cell division is the process by which cells give rise to themselves because new cells can only arise from preexisting cells according to the cell theory.</em>

For both unicellular and multicellular organisms, <u>cell division is important for reproduction</u>. Unicellular organisms can divide by mitosis to asexually reproduce new cells or by meiosis to sexually produce new cells. Mitotic and meiotic cell divisions can also help multicellular organisms to reproduce asexually and sexually respectively.

However, in addition to reproduction, mitotic cell division helps multicellular organisms to <u>grow as well as repair/replace damaged cells/tissues.</u> Through mitosis, more cells are produced leading to elongation, increase in height or weight as the case may be. Mitosis also ensures that damaged or dead cells are replaced by new ones.

In a population of lizards, the allele that causes red eyes (R) is dominant, while the allele that causes green eyes is recessiv
zhenek [66]
The answer is 0.47 or 47%.

Let's first distinguish some terms and their frequencies.
R - the dominant allele that causes red eyes
r - the recessive allele that causes green eyes

Since R is dominant over r, lizards with at least one dominant R allele will have red eyes. Therefore, the genotypes and the phenotypes are as following:
genotypes - phenotypes
RR              - the lizards with red eyes
Rr               - the lizards with red eyes
rr                - the lizards with green eyes

Now, we will use some Hardy-Weinberg equations:
p + q = 1
p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where:
p - the frequency of dominant allele R
q - the frequency of recessive allele r
p² - the frequency of lizards with genotype RR
2pq - the frequency of lizards with genotype Rr
q² - the frequency of lizards with genotype <span>rr
</span>
We are interested in <span>the frequency p of the dominant R allele.
</span>So, we have the frequency (72%) of the lizards that have red eyes. However, lizards with genotypes RR and Rr will have red eyes. Since their frequencies are p² and 2pq, respectively, we have:
p² and 2pq = 72% = 72/100 = 0.72

Now, use this in the equation p² + 2pq + q² = 1:
0.72 + q² = 1
q² = 1 - 0.72 = 0.28

From here, we will calculate q and later p using the formula p + q = 1:
q² = 0.28
q = √0.28 = 0.53

p + q = 1
p + 0.53 = 1
p = 1 - 0.53
p = 0.47
