Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that differs from bone in several ways. For one, the primary cell types are chondrocytes as opposed to osteocytes.
Answer:
The answer is 25%.
Explanation:
Hemophilia is a recessive illness that is x-linked.
If the husband has normal clotting ability, that means he has the dominant gene since he has only one X chromosome.
Since there is a probability that their child will have hemophilia, this means that the woman, who has 2 X chromosomes but has normal blood clotting abilities, has one dominant and one recessive hemophilia gene.
The probability that their first child will be a male is 50% and the probability that he will have hemophilia is also 50% since he will only get the Y chromosome from the father and the mother has one dominant and one recessive.
So the probability that their first child will be a son with hemophilia is 25%.
I hope this answer helps.
<u>Answer</u>:
1. C. Process one describes cloning and process two describe artificial selection
Through cloning a genetically identical individual is obtained from a single individual. Through artificial selection a hybrid between two individuals with desirable traits is obtained.
2. C. Polygenic
A trait that has a continuous variation has a polygenic inheritance pattern as it is controlled by multiple genes.
3. C. The BW mice would have black and white patches
Codominant genes will produce an individual with an intermediate phenotype as both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the heterozygote.
4. D. Polygenic
Polygenic inheritance occurs when two or more genes determine a trait that has a continuous variation. Each gene has a small effect, but all together have a cumulative effect. Examples of such patterns are height, sking color, eye color, weight etc.
Answer:
Tetraploid
Explanation:
Ploidy:
Ploidy is a biological term used for the presence of number of chromosome sets in a cell. Cells can be haploid (gametes), diploid (two chromosomal sets) and polyploid (more than two chromosomal sets).
Polyploidy:
A condition that entails the possession of more than two sets of chromosomes in the cell. Normal cells are diploid (2n) i.e they contain two sets of chromosomes, one from each parents. Polyploid individuals contain three (triploid, 3n), four (tetraploid, 4n), five (pentaploid, 5n) number of chromosomes and so on.
Under normal disjunction of chromosomes, a tetraploid cell will produce two diploid daughter cells each with two sets of chromosomes.
However, in the case of non-disjunction of all chromosomes in a tetraploid individual, two tetraploid daughter cells will be produced at the end of meiosis 1.
Non-disjunction of all chromosomes means that one daughter cell has received all 4 sets of chromosomes while the other is null i.e. contains zero chromosomal sets.
