Answer:

Female cat eggs = 19 chromosomes.

Romashka [77]3 years ago

<em><u>Egg cell</u></em> is a <em><u>gamete</u></em> and hence it is <em><u>haploid</u></em>, So egg cell would contain half the number of <em><u>chromosomes</u></em> than its other body cells.

Egg cell = 1/2 × 38

=》19 <em><u>chromosomes</u></em>.

A plant breeder has determined the following variances for yield of corn in his fields:
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

A. VG = 80

B. Broad sense heritability = 0.80

C. Narrow sense heritability = 0.30

D. Average yield = 430 Units

Explanation:

A. Given that

VA = 30

VD = 50

VI = assumed not available

Therefore

Total genetic variance (VG) = VA + VD

= 30 + 50

= 80

VG = 80

B. Given that

VP = 100

VG = 80

Broad sense heritability, H2 = VG/VP

= 80/100

= 0.80

C. Given that

VA = 30

VP = 100

Narrow sense heritability, h2 = VA/VP

=30/100

= 0.30

D. The difference in selection = 500 - 400

= 100

Recall,

Selection response is heritability multiplied by selection differential.

That is

R = h2S

Selection differential = 100

Heritability h2 = 0.30

Selection response = 0.30 × 100

= 30units

Therefore, expected average yield = 400 + 30

= 430 Units

How does the structure of a nephron directly relate to function of the kidney
VLD [36.1K]
Nephrons are the filtering structures of the kidneys. The kidneys contain millions and millions of these tiny filtering structures that are responsible for cleaning the blood. Nephrons are responsible for removing excess water, wastes, and other substances in the blood that are not needed by the body. They also return necessary substances (e.g. sodium, potassium, phosphorus) whenever the body runs low in supply.  

If these nephrons are damaged, blood will not be properly filtered. As a result, the kidney will have different diseases and this might lead to kidney and multiple organ failure.       <span> </span>

A molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA) has just been synthesized in the nucleus of a human cell.
Murljashka [212]

The mRNA will attach to the small ribosomal unit and then the large ribosomal unit. Then the mRNA will be decoded with its codon's tRNA. ... The tRNA will come in at the A site and a peptide bond will form between amino acids at the A and P sites.
