What is aneuploidy?
a) mitosis without cell separation
b) a hybrid species produced by sexual reproduction
c) a numerical change in part of the genome
d) when two haploid gametes from two different species fuse
e) polyploidization without the separation of chromosomes
(C) A numerical change in part of the genome.
Explanation : Aneuploidy is the presence of an
abnormal number of chromosomes in the genome of a cell. Aneuploids
can have a chromosome number either greater or smaller than that of
the wild (normal) type.
For example, a human somatic cell should normally possess 2n = 46
chromosomes
But human somatic cells with chromosome numbers of (2n-1) = 45 OR
(2n+1)=47 are aneuploid.

QUESTION 1 A cell divides by mitosis. The result is: A. diploid gametes. B. two identical daughter cells. C. haploid gametes. D.four identical daughter cells. E. somatic cells with a unique collection of alleles. QUESTION 2 line of the DNA it did during prophase I. During metaphase Il in meiosis, a cell contains i A. twice as much B. 1/2 OC. 1/4 D.four times as much E. the same amount QUESTION 3 A cell spends the majority of its time...
my assigned organism is Naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber). please type it. The first step in understanding how information is passed from one generation to the next is understanding how cells divide, particularly how the DNA is passed on to the resulting cells. In this discussion, you will describe the life cycle of an animal or plant of your choosing. The animal or plant you choose must have a sexual life cycle (although it may also have an asexual life...
Which of the following is the result of meiosis? (Select all that apply) A The production of four genetically identical daughter cells B. The production of four genetically different daughter cels C. No change in chromosome number from the parent cel D. A doubling of the chromosome number E. A reduction in the chromosome number by haif 13. Mitosis and cytokinesis function in which of the following? (Select all that apply) A. Asexual reproduction in unicellular eukaryotic organisms B. Gamete...
all these questions have more than one correct answers 1) Meiosis & mitosis have similarities as well as differences. Which of the following represent similarities? a) Both increases genetic variation b) Both change in chromosomes number in daughter cells c) Both only occur in eukaryotes D) DNA replication must occur prior to both e) Both make use of a spindle to separate chromatids 2) Meiosis is a special form of cell division. Select any of the following that applies to...
43. When fully formed all-female race, we call this spring develop from haploid eg cets and has the potential to create an from b. Euploidy d. Oogenesis 44. Whe n a mass of cells that appears cancerous has spread to other parts of the body from where it originated we call this a. benign b. malignant c. euploidy d. syngamy Bacteria divide by a. Mitosis b. Meiosis c. Binary fission d. Cytokinesis 45. When a sperm cell penetrates an egg...
4. From a research paper: “Although sexual reproduction has proven to be highly successful, parthenogenetic all-female populations occur frequently in certain taxa, including the whiptail lizards of the genus Aspidoscelis.” “True parthenogenesis, characterized by the complete absence of male contributions, has been described for various species of reptiles, including whiptail lizards, geckos, blind snakes, and rock lizards.” In your own words, define “parthenogenesis.” Several observations suggest that two closely-related, sexually-reproducing species of lizards interbred to produce the (new) parthenogenetic species....
The purpose of interphase of a cell cycle is:
A
to divide itself in half in order to facilitate growth and/or
reproduction
B
to produce gametes
C
the 'living' phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains
nutrients, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other "normal" cell
functions
D
to facilitate repairs from viruses and bacteria
The purpose of the mitotic phase of a cell cycle is:
A
to divide itself in half in order to facilitate growth and/or...
1. If a cell has 8 chromosomes, each daughter cell after mitosis will have how many chromosomes? A) 64 B) 32 C) 16 D) 8 E) 4 2. During cytokinesis in plant cells... A) microtubules form a constricting ‘purse string’ between two nuclei B) microtubules help assemble a cell plate of new plasma membrane between two nuclei C) microfilaments help assemble a cell plate of new plasma membrane between two nuclei D) microfilaments form a constricting ‘purse string’ between two...
