Anemia is a blood disorder caused by a lack of iron and red blood cells.
Anemia impedes the production of protein hemoglobin in the body because of the absence or lack of the mineral iron in the blood. Iron is needed to produce the protein hemoglobin which in turn helps the red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs and transport it all throughout the body.
Answer:
The fusion of two gametes to form a diploid zygote is called SYNGAMY.
Explanation:
During sexual reproduction process, exchange of DNA usually occur and this introduces diversity into the offspring that are produced. One of the ways by which exchange of DNA take place is called syngamy. Syngamy involves the bonding together of two sex cells leading to the formation of cell that has double amount of the chromosomes in the parent cells. The two cells that bond together are called gametes while the diploid cells formed is called zygote. The major function of syngamy is creation of variation; the genotypes in the formed zygote differ from those of the gametes.
A fertilized egg is called a zygote until it divides into 16 cells, forming a ball-shaped structure called a morula. ... In humans, it takes about four days for a zygote to become a morula and another three days until the embryo attaches itself to the mother's uterine wall.
If the shape of radish is under the control of one gene, for example A than we can say:
AA is dominant homozygous genotype-round radish phenotype,
aa is recessive homozygous genotype-long radish phenotype
If we cross round and long radish:
P: AA x aa
F1: Aa Aa Aa Aa
Aa is heterozygous genotype-oval phenotype
If we than cross the F1:
Aa x Aa
F2: AA Aa Aa aa
This means that the ratio between the phenotypes woul be 1:2:1 (round:oval:long).
