The nucdlear DNA content of a single sperm cell varies depending on the species of the organism. If the amount of DNA in a singl

e sperm cell is 2.5 picogram(s), calculate the amount of DNA at different stages of meiosis. Part A What would be the expected nuclear DNA content (in picograms) of the cell before DNA replication has occurred in Interphase I (before S phase) ?Part B What would be the expected nuclear DNA content of a cell at metaphase 1?

Answer:

1. 5 pg of DNA.

2. 10 pg of DNA.

Explanation:

The process of meiosis results in the production of the four haploid daughter cells and is involved in the formation of sexual gametes. The sperm cells produced as a result of the meiosis are haploid in their ploidy and therefore contains only "C" amount of DNA.

<u>1. During interphase </u>

The sperms are formed from the diploid spermatocytes which contain 2C amount of DNA. During the cell cycle before the M phase, cell replication takes place in the S phase. The synthesis phase doubles the amount of DNA  and forms 2C to 4C.

Therefore before the S phase or in G1 phase, the DNA amount will be 2C or 2 x 2.5= 5 pg of DNA.

<u>2. At metaphase </u>

After S phase, the amount of DNA increases to 4C which gets distributed during the anaphase that is after the metaphase. Therefore, the amount of DNA during metaphase will be 4C or 4 x 2.5 = 10 pg.

What the consequences would be if the entire water surface was covered with water lilies​
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: There can be a ton of damage done if water lilies overgrow.

Explanation:

Water lilies protect the organisms under the body of water and provide shade to the plants and organisms underneath. These are very important for organisms, as they also provide a place to rest. But if the entire water surface were to be covered with water lilies, this would be a major problem, because sunlight would have no way of reaching below the surface, and this would decrease oxygen levels for plants and organisms. Without air and sunlight, plants will start to die and organisms of the body of water will also start to die because of no air to breathe. Also, overgrowth of water lilies causes water stagnation and leads to excessive algae blooms. The stagnant water attracts insects like mosquitoes, cockroaches, termites, and more pests which can harm plants and organisms.

To trace our maternal lineage, we observe mutations that have accumulated in our mitochondrial dna (mtdna). in the dna isolation
Sergio [31]
In the coding region, natural selection tends to eliminate all of the mutations because of the high importance these regions have. The coding region contains genes that synthesize proteins and the changes in the DNA sequence can have devastating effects on the cell. Therefore, there are very few differences in the sequences of coding regions that can help us trace the lineage.
On the other hand, in the non-coding regions, the mutations often accumulate because they have little effect on the cell and the adaptive value of the organism. This enables us to trace up the lineage by comparing the sequences and seeing the differences in the sequences.

I believe it would be polyphyletic.
Polyphyletic groups are formed when two lineages convergently evolve similar character states. Organisms classified into the same polyphyletic group share phenetic homoplasies as opposed to homologies. The key difference between paraphyletic and polyphyletic groups is that paraphyletic contain their common ancestor, whereas polyphyletic groups do not.
