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.

The electron transport chain include the cycle that occurs during glycolysis, fermentation and the transformation of NAD+ to form NADH and vice versa.

In the research, the dependent variable is the concentrated lactic acid and that of NAD+.

In order to increase the validity of the experiment, the Researcher can make use of the response of NAD+ and lactic acid in absence of vitamin treatment as the CONTROL.

What is the relationship between undisturbed sedimentary rock layers and fossils?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Older fossils are found in deeper layers of sedimentary rock.

Explanation:

The relationship between undisturbed sedimentary rock layers and fossils is that older fossils are found in deeper layers of sedimentary rocks.

This is one of the premise of the law of superposition and principle of fossil and fauna succession.

  • An undisturbed sequence is one in which the sedimentary layers have been arranged sequentially.
  • The oldest is at the bottom and the youngest on top.
  • Also, fossils grade in this manner too.
  • The oldest fossils will be in the oldest bed which is the deepest layer.
  • The youngest bed will contain the youngest fossils in like manner too.
