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.

How would the body most likely respond to the condition illustrated

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

A) Faster blood flow: A faster blood flow means the heart pumps blood with more power. Pumping blood to fast for too long can damage the heart muscle and interfere with its normal electrical signals, which can result in a dangerous heart rhythm disorder.

B) Infection: infection is caused by invasion of the body by external microorganisms. Disease can arise if the host's protective immune mechanisms are compromised and the organism inflicts damage on the host.

C) vomiting: This is an involuntary, forced expulsion of stomach contents usually through the mouth or nose. Body's reaction can be aspiration, electrolyte and water loss, damage to the enamel of the teeth, tear of the esophageal mucosa etc.

D) High blood pressure: This is due to the heart pumping blood at high pressure putting a strain on the walls of the blood vessels. In some cases, people with high blood pressure may have a pounding feeling in their head or chest, a feeling of lightheadedness or dizziness, or other signs.

Musya8 [376]

Note about the question:

Probably there are options for this question, but I failed in finding them. However, in the explanation box I will explain the reason for the lack of white flowers in the F1.

Answer:

The purple phenotype is dominant over the white phenotype. The allele that expresses the purple color is dominant and, in a heterozygous state, hides the expression of the recessive allele that expresses the white color. Principle of dominance.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.

Rainbow [258]

<span>The parent cell undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear division. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell</span>
