In their first attempts to genetically engineer a cow that will make and secrete human growth hormones in milk, scientists found

that they could insert the growth hormone gene into an embryonic calf. When the calf matures, it produces the hormone. However, they discovered that the altered gene gets lost from the genome during meiosis. What is the best explanation of what will happen in a population of genetically altered cows?
A. The cows will reproduce, but only males will reproduce the altered gene.

B. The cows will not reproduce because only females will reproduce the altered gene.

C. The cows will reproduce, but neither males nor females will reproduce the altered gene.

D. The cows will not reproduce because neither males nor females will reproduce the altered gene.

Answer:

C. The cows will reproduce, but neither males nor females will reproduce the altered gene.

Explanation:

I just had this question lol but because it said in the question “However, they discovered that the altered gene gets lost from the genome during meiosis.” Shows that the cows aren’t able to reproduce the altered gene. It never stated they can’t reproduce.

The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is allotetraploid, likely as a result of an interspecies mating long ago, followed by a
stepladder [879]

Explanation:

Xenopus laevis is allotetraploid: it has 2 sets of homologous chromosomes originally from one species and 2 sets of homologous chromosomes originally from another species, making a total of 4 sets of chromosomes. During meiosis, every chromosome has another homologous one with which it can pair, producing viable gametes that have the complete genetic information of the species.

Mules, however, are allodiploid: they have one set of chromosomes from a donkey and another set from a horse, making a total of 2 sets of chromosmes. But those two sets are not homologous, so during meiosis the chromosomes can't pair and the gametes will have errors that make them inviable, making mules sterile

Which is of the following statements best describes the structure or makeup of a codon
muminat

A codon is a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis. DNA and RNA molecules are written in a language of four nucleotides; meanwhile, the language of proteins includes 20 amino acids. Codons provide the key that allows these two languages to be translated into each other.

Snakes can live up to 9 years. They slither up to 18 mph. Snakes are reptiles that are elongated, limbless, and carnivorous. Another interesting thing about snakes is that they don’t have eyelids. The last fact is that snakes can open there mouths up to 150 degrees so they can swallow there prey.
