Which option(s) correctly describes chromosomes?

Biology
1 answer:
laiz [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Chromosomes are not visible in the cell’s nucleus—not even under a microscope—when the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division.

Each chromosome has a constriction point called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into two sections, or “arms.” The short arm of the chromosome is labeled the “p arm.” The long arm of the chromosome is labeled the “q arm.” The location of the centromere on each chromosome gives the chromosome its characteristic shape, and can be used to help describe the location of specific genes.

10. A mutation in which types of cells would only affect the organism and not future generations?
Alborosie

Answer:

Somatic mutations are mutations that occur in body cells, that is the cells that do not make gametes. These mutations are not passed on to further generations; for example, if a mutation that changes a gene in a skin cell would not affect your children because skin cells don't produce gametes.

What could be the possible result of founder effect on genetic variation? A. Decrease in genetic variation B. Increase in geneti
DENIUS [597]
The answer is <span>A. Decrease in genetic variation
</span><span>
A founder effect is a result of a geographical separation of a few individuals from the original population. Those few founding individuals will form a new population so they are founders. In this new population, there will be present alleles of the few founding individuals. However, those few founding individuals do not represent a whole genetic variation of the old population, but only some part of it.
Imagine a population of fish in which there are yellow, green, blue, and red colored fish. In the population, there is a genetic variation. But, if a few green-colored and red-colored fish geographically separate from the population and form a new population, in the new population there will be decreased genetic variation (because there are only green and red fish compared to the old population where are fish in 4 different colors).</span>
