Answer:

The correct answer would be meiosis.

Nondisjunction refers to the failure of separation of one or more homologous chromosome pairs or that of sister chromatids during nuclear division.

It can occur in both meiosis as well as mitosis, however, meiosis (formation of gametes) is involved in inheritance, so, the correct answer would be meiosis.

During anaphase I, nondisjunction occurs when homologous chromosome pair(s) fails to separate. In anaphase II, it occurs due to the failure of separation of sister chromatids.  

It results in the formation of gametes with abnormal chromosome number.

The answer is the first one, meiosis. This nondisjunction could occur whether in meiosis I or meiosis II. For example, an autosomal nondisconjunction at meiosis I can determine if the baby will be born with down syndrome.

) The stem of a plant is growing upward while the roots grow downward. Which of these stimuli correctly describes the response o
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''gravity.''

Explanation:

Tropisms are movements or changes in posture that a living being normally makes in response to a continuous environmental stimulus. Plants have hormones that respond to the gravitational impulse of our planet. Gravity deeply influences their growth and development (positive geotropism) and plants have been found to bend in response to gravity due to redistribution of the plant hormone auxin at the root tip, so that auxin is redistributed to the underside of a root that grows when it is rotated 90 degrees, the stems will still grow upward, away from the center of the Earth (negative geotropism), just as roots will always grow in the reverse direction (positive geotropism).

In a human, one set of chromosomes= 23 chromosomes. How many chromosome would you find in each of the following cells?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer is A) You would find 46 chromosomes in a Haploid cell and B.) You would find 23 chromosomes in a Diploid cell.

Explanation:

A human haploid cell, such as a skin cell, is a complete unit. It is capable of duplicating itself and the new cell has exactly the same number of chromosomes, which is 46.

A human diploid cell, such as a human egg cell, has half the number of chromosomes, which is 23.

Hope this helps!! Have an Awesome day!!! :-)
