If a cell has a diploid number of 8 (2n = 8) before meiosis, how many chromosomes will be in each of the four daughter cells after meiosis II if one pair of homologous chromosomes experiences nondisjunction in meiosis I? Show how you got the answer by drawing out the process, starting with the diploid cell undergoing meiosis I (where nondisjunction occurs) and then meiosis II to get the four daughter cells.
Answers
Answer:
The final product is four gametes, two of them with 5 chromosomes, and the other two with 3 chromosomes each.
Explanation:
If nondisjunction occurs during meiosis 1, a pair of homologous chromosomes fail to separate, and one of the daughter cells will have the two chromosomes while the other cell will not get any chromosome from the pair.
If meiosis 1 occurs normally, but nondisjunction occurs in meiosis 2, sister chromatids fail to separate.
The usual process of meiosis produces four daughter haploid cells (n) from a diploid germ cell (2n). Each daughter cell is haploid because they have half the number of chromosomes of the original one.
If the diploid number of the original cell is 8 (2n=8), then under normal conditions, each haploid daughter cell should have 4 chromosomes (n = 4).
But in the exposed example, one pair of homologous chromosomes experiences nondisjunction during meiosis I (in the attached file, you will recognize this pair as the red one). The other chromosomes separate as usual. So one of the daughter cells will have one extra chromosome than expected (five instead of four), and the other daughter cell will lack one chromosome (three instead of four). Meiosis II occurs normally. The final result is the formation of four gametes, two of them with 5 chromosomes, and the other two with 3 chromosomes each.

Crossing over occurs during Prophase II.
A. True

Answers
crossing over occurs in prophase 1 of meiosis 1. The significance of this crossing over is to ensure cell differentiation. If this occurred in prophase two it means the cells in meiosis 1 will be identical.
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
Crossing over not occurs in prophase II. It occurs only during prophase I.

Explanation:
A scientist studied a population of birds for 10 years. During that time, the population was never fewer than 30 birds and never more than 50. Her data showed that over half of the birds born did not survive to reproduce, because of competition for food and predation. She noticed that In a single generation, about 90% of the birds that were born lived to reproduce, and the population increased to 90. Which inference(s) about this population might be true
Answers
Answer:
A particular population limiting factor or factors must have been removed
Explanation:
The population of the birds must have been kept between 30 and 50 individuals by population limiting factors such as the presence of predators within the community or competition for resources such as food or spaces.
For the population to shoot up to 90 all of a sudden, it may be that one or more of the population limiting factors has been removed from the population. It could be that a major predator has been removed from the community or the competition for food/space is now significantly reduced due to more food/space in the community.

Reproduction for dolphins and badgers and people is more complicated because
A. we have to apply for a license before we can reproduce
B. have to find a partner
C. go through the cellular process of MITOSIS to produce sex cells.
Answers
Answer:
B. have to find a partner
Explanation:
When two badgers get together and fall in love, a sperm cell from the father which contains a copy of half of his DNA, only half, combines with the egg cell of the mother, which contains half a copy of her DNA. The result is a brand new cell with all the information to divide and grow up into a brand new badger. The new child matures to be similar to our parents, but also unique, because she developed some traits from her mother’s DNA, and some from her father. Her new combination of traits can be passed on to her children, and again.
Adrenergic receptors Select one: a. can be activated by the release of epinephrine. b. have two structural forms - muscarinic and nicotinic. c. when activated stimulate skeletal muscles to contract. d. can be found in both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. e. are activated by the release of acetylcholine.
Answers
Answer:
The correct answer is a. can be activated by the release of epinephrine.
Explanation:
Epinephrine is a hormone and neurotransmitter naturally secreted by the body through the adrenal glands, synthesized and stored in the adrenal medulla and released into the systemic circulation. Epinephrine is a non-selective adrenergic agonist, stimulating alpha1-, alpha2, beta1, and beta2-adrenergic receptors. The systemic actions of catecholamines are mediated by the binding of these compounds to plasma membrane receptors, of the GPCR type widely distributed throughout the body and known as adrenergic receptors, which are activated by the catecholamines adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline . These receptors cause different effects depending on the G protein subtypes to which they are associated and the signal transduction mechanism linked to the specific G protein.

Answers
Answer:
During the relative refractory period, another action potential can be generated provided the stimulus is large enough.
Explanation:
The relative refractory period is the time after an action potential where the sodium channels are transitioning from inactivated channels to closed ones. In other words, voltage-gated Na+ channels have two gates, an external one and an internal one. During repolarization, the outer gate is blocking the entrance, and the internal one is open. So the channel is inactivated. When the inner gate is closed, the Na+ channel is closed.
During the relative refractory period, a second action potential can happen, but the stimulus has to be large enough to do it since the membrane is hyperpolarized, that is to say, the membrane potential is more negative than the resting action potential. The cell needs more Na+ ions to produce the second action potential.

Which of the following statements is MOST accurate: Group of answer choices Animals evolved during the Cambrian Explosion because the Earth was organized into a supercontinent called Pangea Animals evolved during the Cambrian Explosion because oxygen on Earth had become abundant Animals evolved during the Cambrian Explosion because the Earth had just recovered from an asteroid impact Animals evolved during the Cambrian Explosion because carbon dioxide on Earth had become abundant
Answers
Answer:
Animals evolved during the Cambrian Explosion because oxygen on Earth had become abundant.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis could be responsible for the rise in the amount of oxygen in the seas and atmosphere near the beginning of the Cambrian. This rise of oxygen concentration allowing the evolution of larger animals having complex respiratory and circulatory systems. So we can conclude that evolution in the physical and genetical characteristics of animals occur during the Cambrian Explosion.
Trastorno alimenticio caracterizado por una gran pérdida de peso, que el propio paciente se provoca y que puede conducir a un estado de inanición.
Answers
Answer: Anorexia nerviosa.
Explanation:
La anorexia nerviosa es un trastorno o desorden alimenticio en donde se produce un rechazo de la comida debido a un temor excesivo a subir de peso, llegando a un estado de inanición serio. Entonces, se produce un deterioro en la salud y una debilidad causada por una ingesta insuficiente de nutrientes causando una desnutrición que altera diversas funciones del organismo. Es mas común en mujeres jóvenes o adolescentes aunque se reportan casos en ambos sexos y a cualquier edad. No debe confundirse con otro trastorno llamado simplemente anorexia, que es un síntoma que se caracteriza por una falta de apetito debido a alguna causa orgánica.
Este trastorno puede ocurrir por diversas causas que vienen acompañadas por una distorsión de la imagen corporal propia, en donde la persona considera que debe perder más peso de lo que se considera saludable y normal para su edad y estatura, llegando a estados raquíticos. También hay muchos casos en donde además de una dieta extrema, se realice ejercicio de manera excesiva o que utilicen otros métodos para bajar de peso como el abuso de laxantes u otros medicamentos.
Algunos factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de la anorexia nerviosa pueden ser:
