The drug colchicine inhibits the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis. If you treat dividing plant cells with colchicine,

vekshin1

Answer:

Explanation:

During metaphase of cell division, the chromosomes line up in the metaphase plate and the spindle fibers from the poles extend and attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes. The spindle then contracts and pull different chromosomes to the opposite poles of the cell before the parent cell divides. If spindle fibers do not form, then the chromosomes will not separate during anaphase.

Therefore, the final cell after mitosis will be a cell with double the number of chromosomes -because if you remember, during interphase, genetic material is replicated so each daughter cell can have its copy-. Due to quality control in the process of cell divisison, this cell will mostly undergo apoptosis, otherwise, it could develop into cancer.

In hamsters, we can examine the genes for coat color and eye color which are linked:B = brown coat, b = white coat, G = green ey

Inessa [10]

Answer:

10.2 cM

Explanation:

Given,

pure breeding parent 1 : BBgg = brown coat and pink eyes

pure breeding parent 2 : bbGG = white coat and green eyes

BBGG X bbgg = F1 = BbGg ( All are brown with green eyes )

When F1 progeny is test crossed with white coat and pink eyes hamster:

BbGg X BbGg = F2 =

brown, pink eyes = 99 = parental

white, green eyes = 103 = parental

brown, green eyes = 12 = recombinant

white, pink eyes = 11 = recombinant

Recombination frequency =

(total number of recombinants / total progeny ) * 100

= [( 11 + 12 ) / ( 99 + 103 + 12 + 11 )] * 100 = (23/225)*100 = 0.102 * 100 = 10.2 %

1 % recombination frequency = 1 cM distance between genes

Hence, the distance between B and G gene is 10.2 cM
