g Two closely related species of plant (A and B) hybridize to form a new species (C). Species A is diploid and has 8 chromosomes
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

allopolyploidy

Explanation:

Polyploidy is the condition by which a cell might have more than two chromosome sets that form homologous pairs. It might occur due to a failure or abnormality in cell division.  

Autopolyploidy

Refer to a type of polyploidy in which an organism has more than two copies of homologous chromosomes. It results from the duplication of a group of chromosomes of the same species. Autopolyploid individuals have <u>at least three groups of homologous chromosomes</u>. Autopolyploidy is produced by the<u> gamete fusion of the same progenitor - same species</u>-, duplicating the number of chromosomes of diploid species. The autopolyploid cell has groups of homologous chromosomes. Autopolyploidy is produced mainly due to non-disjunction during meiosis.

Allopolyploidy

Refer to another type of polyploidy in which species have more than three sets of chromosomes in their cells. Allopolyploidy <u>occurs when two different species mate</u>, leading to the fusion of gametes that belong to different species and produce a new hybrid. The chromosomic complement has more than two copies of chromosomes. The hybrid is infertile with the parental species. The allopolyploid cells have chromosome groups that are not homologous.  

In the exposed example two different species mate and produce a hybrid species.

Generally speaking, which of the following mutations.....? would most severely affect the protein coded for by a gene? -a base s
Svet_ta [14]
The answer is <span>a frameshift deletion at the beginning of the gene.

The frameshift deletion means that due to the deletion, the reading frame will be changed. Because of this, changed mRNA will be synthesized and translated into altered protein. It is known that codon is a triplet (a set of three nucleotides), that code for certain amino acid. The earlier in the sequence the deletion occurs, the protein will be more severely affected.
For example, if codons on RNA are THE BIG BAD DOG and the frameshift deletion happens on the first triplet (earlier in the sequence), the changed sequence will be  TEB IGB ADD OG. If </span>the frameshift deletion happens on the third triplet (later in the sequence), <span>the changed sequence will be THE BIG ADD OG.</span> This way, if the<span> frameshift deletion occurs at the beginning of the gene,</span> the more codons will be changed and in turn, they will code different amino acids.
