2. A Mendelian trait is caused by a single gene. 3. Traits can be dominant or recessive and recur in a predictable pattern in subsequent generations. ... Autosomal Recessive Inheritance: Autosomal recessive traits can skip generations and can affect both sexes.
Answer:
47 chromosomes
Explanation:
Meiosis is a kind of division that reduces the chromosome number of the daughter cells by half i.e. 2n - n. It occurs only in reproductive cells to produce sex cells or gametes. In humans, meiosis occurs to produce gametes (egg and sperm) that have 23 haploid chromosomes.
N.B: Somatic human cells have 46 chromosomes
According to this question, a meiotic error occurred during gamete formation, resulting in an egg that has 24 chromosomes. If that egg is fertilized by a normal sperm i.e. sperm with 23 chromosomes. A zygote that posseses (23 + 24) = 47 chromosomes will be produced.
Hi there!
By both unity and diversity in life, it means that animals and plants (and ecosystems) can be very different from each other but they can also have very similar characteristics. They can work together in harmony but become predator and prey at the same time.
Hope this helps!
