Answer:
a. There are different possible ways that homologous pairs might line up
c. Different alignments of homologous pairs will cause different combinations of alleles in gametes.
Explanation:
The law of independent assortment, proposed by Mendel, states that the alleles of one gene segregate into gametes independently of the alleles of another gene. This means that the segregation of one gene does not affect another. This law of independent assortment is evident during gamete formation in sexually-reproducing organisms know as meiosis. Specifically, in the Metaphase 1 stage of meiosis 1, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) lines up at the metaphase plate (cell equator).
The lining up of chromosomes in this stage occurs randomly making it possible for chromosomes to align in different possible ways. The way/manner the chromosomes align at the equator determines which chromosome combination gets separated into which gamete. The homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed at the cell's equator before segregates into gametes. This random orientation enables the alleles of each gene on a chromosome to combine in different random ways, hence, allowing genetic diversity in the resulting gametes (sperm and egg) they get segregated into.
Answer:
the plasma membrane is the control center of the cell
Answer:
In some mice, fur color is inherited through incomplete dominance. The colors that are possible are black fur, white fur and grey fur. Grey is the trait that is inherited through incomplete dominance. Scenario: a grey fur male mouse and a grey fur female mouse have 8 babies. The offspring that result are: 2 black fur, 5 grey fur and 1 white fur. But this is not what is statistically expected from that cross. Explain why this is still a probable outcome. This is as a result of mutation
Explanation:
Mutation is the sudden change of a gene, from the above explanation mating of an incomplete grey fur dominance with an incomplete grey fur dominance should not have had offspring with 2 black fur, 5 grey fur and white fur. Normal mating should have produced also an incomplete grey fur dominant offspring
The study of chemical reactions of living this is called biochemistry.
