Biology
2 answers:
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.

Which claim is best supported by the information about scales and feathers?​
alexandr402 [8]

<u>Answer:</u>

Recent evidence suggest that feathers evolved from scales and suggest that 'feathers and pycnofibers' could be homologous.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • One of the major difficult issue related to bird evolution is the evolution of feathers.
  • Feathers are considered as the most 'complex integumentary structures' which are found in vertebrates.
  • Evolutionary developmental biology suggests that the 'planar scale structure' is been modified for developing into feathers by 'splitting' to form web like structures.
  • Scales and Feathers consist of 'two distinct form of keratin' so it was thought that 'each type was exclusive skin structure' but recent study suggests that they are developmental expressions of same skin structures.
