QveST [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer/Explanation:

Nondisjunction is when homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to properly separate during meiosis. This means daughter cells have an incorrect set of chromosomes.

Nondisjunction occurs during meiosis I or II, with different results in each. The outcomes at either meiosis i or meiosis ii are shown in the attached picture (nondisjunction at meiosis ii on the left (blue arrow) and nondisjunction at meiosis i on the right (dark green arrow)

Nondisjunction during meiosis i

Nondisjunction during meiosis i occurs when homologous chromosomes fail to properly separate. This results in two gametes without that chromosome, and two gametes with two copies of that chromosome. This is wrong, as each gamete should have one copy.

Nondisjunction during meiosis ii

If the sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis II (the homologous chromosomes have already successfully separated), then there will be two normal gametes that have one copy of the chromosome (correct), one gamete will not have that chromosome, and one gamete with two copies of the chromosome.

Pea seed color exists as green or yellow. We might say that "yellow" is an example of a (an)_ for seed color
LiRa [457]

Answer:

b. allele

Explanation:

An allele is a variant form of a gene. In this problem, there is one gene (that determines seed color) with two possible alleles (green and yellow).

<u>The other options are wrong because:</u>

The genotype is the combination of alleles an individual has.

The karyotype is an individual's collection of chromosomes, paired and ordered.

A homozygote individual has the same alleles for a particular gene.

A heterozygote individual has different alleles for a particular gene.

nignag [31]

Answer:

He won't. humans are unique.

Explanation:

DNA holds all the knowledge for your physical traits, which are basically protein-determined. Therefore, DNA has the protein-making instructions. Within DNA, a gene encodes each protein. The sequence of nucleotides in a genome precisely determines the order and forms of amino acid.
