Which process do you think offers a greater chance of nondisjunction—mitosis or meiosis? explain your answer

Biology

Answer: Nondisjunction means that a pair of homologous chromosomes has failed to separate or segregate at anaphase so that both chromosomes of the pair pass to the same daughter cell. This probably occurs most commonly in meiosis, but it may occur in mitosis to produce a mosaic individual.

Black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b) in guinea pigs. An F1 cross was conducted and resulted in 100% heterozygous guinea pi
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

D. 1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in guinea pig. Black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). This means that, as stated in the question, if a black fur parent (BB) is crossed with a white fur parent (bb), a 100% heterozygous offspring (Bb) with black fur will result.

If two heterozygous guinea pigs are crossed i.e. Bb × Bb, the following gametes will be produced by each heterozygous parent:

Bb = B and b

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be produced:

1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

BB and Bb = black fur guinea pigs

bb = white fur guinea pigs

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The correct answer is inheritance.

Explanation:

Genetic characteristics are transferred from one generation to another.The mechanism of transfer of genetically determined characteristics from generation to generation is called inheritance.

     Genetic characteristics are stored within the sex chromosome of both male(XY) and female(XX).During fertilization when the sperm cells fuses with ovum at that time some characteristics of both male and female gets incorporated into the diploid zygote which give rise to the new organism containing inherited genetic characteristics.

On which side of the mountain would you be most likely to find a forest?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Mountain lands provide a scattered but diverse array of habitats in which a large range of plants and animals can be found. At higher altitudes harsh environmental conditions generally prevail, and a treeless alpine vegetation, upon which the present account is focused, is supported. Lower slopes commonly are covered by montane forests. At even lower levels mountain lands grade into other types of landform and vegetation—e.g., tropical or temperate forest, savanna, scrubland, desert, or tundra.

The largest and highest area of mountain lands occurs in the Himalaya-Tibet region; the longest nearly continuous mountain range is that along the west coast of the Americas from Alaska in the north to Chile in the south. Other particularly significant areas of mountain lands include those in Europe (Alps, Pyrenees), Asia (Caucasus, Urals), New Guinea, New Zealand, and East Africa. The worldwide distribution of mountain lands is shown in Figure 1.
