An organism has 40 chromosomes in each body cell. How many chromosomes are in each of the organisms sex cells?

Biology

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Suppose if number of chromosomes is represented by "n"

Then, the total number of chromosomes in a haploid cell is "n"

and the number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is two times the number of chromosomes in haploid cell i.e "2n"

Normal body cells are diploid therefore they have 2n chromosomes

Here 2n is equal to 40 . Therefore, n will be equal to 20

Sex cells are haploid and hence they will have n number of chromosomes i.e 20

hence, option B is correct

The chromosomes in the sex cells would be half the chromosomes in the body cells; so since each body cell has 40 <span>chromosomes and half of that is 20, there's your answer. It's B. 20</span>

A plasmid vector has a gene for erythromycin resistance (Ery") and a gene for ampicillin resistance (Amp"). The Ery gene is cut
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Amp resistant phenotypes

Explanation:

Insertion of the desired gene sequence within the sequence of an antibiotic resistance gene makes the transformed cells to lose the resistance against that particular antibiotic. To create a recombinant plasmid vector, the sequence of the gene for erythromycin resistance was cut with the restriction enzyme. This would cause a loss of resistance against erythromycin in the transformed cells. Since the ampicillin resistance gene was intact, the transformed gene would exhibit resistance against ampicillin. Therefore, the transformed cells would be ampicillin-resistant and erythromycin sensitive.
