Biology

Blizzard [7]3 years ago

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.

Each kernel of corn receives one allele from

each parent for the traits of color and texture.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Corn kernels are actually the seeds of corn. Corn kernels are formed because of the fertilization of both the Pollen and the ovule of the corn plants. This pollens and the ovules are formed by means of meiosis which takes different alleles of the same gene from both the parents and both the chromosomes of each parents. This is why during meiosis the events of crossing over and independent assortment leads to the variation of characters into the offspring. This is why the kernel colours of the the same ear of the corn remains same. This is how the corn plant receives the the kernel colours from both the parents and their colours remain constant for one particular ear. Also the gene of texture is achieved from both the parents by means of meiosis just like the corn colour. So there also independently assorted.

Oliga [24]
Unlike women, men do not experience a major, rapid (over several months) change in fertility as they age (like menopause). Instead, changes occur gradually during a process that some people call andropause. Aging changes in the male reproductive system occur primarily in the testes.
