Answer is: <span>nondisjunction.
</span>Nondisjunction<span> is the failure of </span>homologous chromosomes<span> to separate correctly during </span>cell division, because of tha daughter cells have abnormal chromosome numbers. This example is <span>failure of a pair of </span>homologous chromosomes<span> to separate in </span><span>meiosis I.</span>
Answer:
M phase: 4.8 hr
Prophase: 2.4 hr
Prometaphase: 0.72 hr
Metaphase: 0.24 hr
Anaphase: 0.84 hr
Telophase: 0.6 hr
Explanation:
Mitosis, also known as M phase, is the process of nuclear division after interphase, which is followed by cytoplasmic division via cytokinesis. Mitosis can be subdivided into the following phases: Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. In this case, 160 cells are in interphase (for a total of 200 cells), thereby 40 cells are in mitosis >> 200 - 160 = 40 cells. Since the complete cell cycle requires 24 hours, it is possible to calculate the average duration of each phase:
M phase: 40/200 = 0.2 x 24 hr = 4.8 hr
Prophase: 20/200 = 0.1 x 24 hr = 2.4 hr
Prometaphase: 6/200 = 0.030 x 24 hr = 0.72 hr
Metaphase: 2/200 = 0.01 x 24 hr = 0.24 hr
Anaphase: 7/200 = 0.035 x 24 hr = 0.84 hr
Telophase: 5/200 = 0.025 x 24 hr = 0.6 hr
Answer:
66.6% of the living progeny would be creepers
Explanation:
The creeper allele is Cr for both parents this means that there is a 50% chance that they will pass the C or r trait to their progeny. In this scenario the deleterious inheritance of rr will be 25% so this will not be factored in this answer. The other progeny is CC 25% and Cr 50% for genotype only
The new calculation for living progeny is this: Of the chances of three living progeny there could be one normal CC and two creepers Cr. This means that 33.3% of the living progeny is normal CC and 66.6% of the living progeny are creepers Cr.
