The following did Mendel conclude about patterns of inheritance is B. An organism inherits two genes of a given trait during gamete production. Thus, option "B" is correct.

Who is George Mendel?

George Mendel was a famous biologist. His research was on genes and traits. His experiment shows how genes get transferred from parents to offspring. Also he stated about the behaviour and dominance and recessive nature of that alleles.

He also gives the possibility of the dominance of a trait over another trait. The different forms of genes are responsible for various types of inherited traits in an organism.

Thus, option "B" is correct.

Spindle fibers

a. direct chromosome movement in cell division

b.are composed of thin protein filaments

c. are made by the centrioles

d. all of the choices are correct

Answers

Spindle fibers .are composed of thin protein filament. Thus, the correct option is B. The spindle is made up of microtubules, which are strong fibers that make up the cell's "skeleton." Its duty during mitosis is to arrange and move the chromosomes around. As the centrosomes separate, the spindle grows between them.

When the spindle starts to form?

The mitotic spindle begins to collect and organize the chromosomes in late prophase (also known as prometaphase).

The cell will check to see if all of the chromosomes are at the metaphase plate, with their kinetochores appropriately connected to microtubules, before going to anaphase. This is known as the spindle checkpoint, and it ensures that when the sister chromatids separate in the next stage, they will split evenly across the two daughter cells. When a chromosome is misaligned or connected, the cell will stop dividing until the issue is resolved.

What are the processes involved in cellular division?

Answers

Answer:

I hope this helps!!

Explanation:

The existence and perpetuation of life depend on the functioning of cells and their divisions. There are two important processes of cell division, which are inextricably linked with each other to maintain the progress of life. These processes are Mitosis and Meiosis.

After fertilization, when a sperm cell and an egg cell unite to form a new organism, it is expected to carry a double number of chromosomes because both the parents contribute their whole number of chromosomes as appropriate for the respective species. But the process of meiosis prevents the doubling of the chromosomes.

It reduces the total number of chromosomes in half so that the offspring (newly formed cell) can retain the same number of chromosomes as the parents. On the other hand, mitosis facilitates in forming of two daughter cells from a single cell where each new cell resembles the parent cell in every respect. Unlike meiosis, mitosis involves duplithe cation of chromosomal pairs, which is essential for cellular reproduction, especially during growth.

The Mechanism of Mitosis:

A specific process is required for forming two daughter cells out of a mother cell. This process is known as mitosis and it is usually divided into four stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and, telophase. In some cases, it is convenient to designate the transition from prophase to metaphase by the name of prometaphase. However, the whole process of the cycle of mitosis is a continuous one.

1. Prophase:

At the beginning of the prophase stage, the cell prepares itself to divide the chromosomes. It is the resting stage when the nucleus becomes a little larger. It also involves the condensation of the previously diffuse, invisible, or dispersed threads into visible chromosomes.

Each chromosome is optically double, which is composed of two identical and closely parallel strands or chromatids lying throughout their length. A chromosome bears a constriction or a narrow region of attachment to the spindle, which is called a centromere.

Constrictions other than the centromere are sometimes called ‘secondary constrictions’.At prophase s,tage the centromere and secondary constrictions look alike, but by metaphase, this distinction is clear because they develop entirely different relations to the spindle.

In this stage (prophase) the outlines of the chromatids present a slightly irregular woolly or hairy appearance. They do not, in general, show a series of granules (chromo-meres) as are seen at the meiotic prophase, and probably this is a real difference between the two. By the end of the prophase, the woolly appearance almost disappears and a smooth outline is visible.

2. Premetaphase:

At the end of the prophase, the nuclear membrane usually disappears and this stage may be defined as the period of spindle formation. During this stage, the chromosomes give an impression of struggling and pushing among themselves too to reach the equator of the developing spindle. The spindle is relatively a solid gelatinous body. It is composed almost entirely of protein with a very small amount of RNA.

The centrosome seems to act as an organizer of the spindle. The centrosome is the differentiated region of cytoplasm containing centriole, which is a minute granule present just outside the nuclear membrane. After the disappearance of the nuclear membrane, the centriole is doubled and the two centrioles move apart from each other to form the poles of the spindle.

The spindle fibers are probably bundles of protein molecules. A distinction may be made between continuous fibers and chromosomal fibers. The continuous fibers run from pole to pole whereas the chromosomal fibers connect the centromeres to the poles.

In the case of bipolar spindles, the equatorial plane is located perpendicular to the long axis, which is the midway between the poles. As the prometaphase proceeds, the chromosomes arrange themselves with their centromeres, on the equatorial plane of the spindle. It is the most dynamic stage which gives rise to a relatively static Metaphase.

A local biologist needs a program to predict population growth. the inputs would be: the initial number of organisms, as an int the rate of growth (a real number greater than 1), as a float the number of hours it takes to achieve this rate, as an int a number of hours during which the population grows, as an int

Answers

"A local biologist needs a program to predict population growth. the inputs would be..." The resultant code is

tp=sp

hours = 1

while (hours < t):

tp *= g

hours += r

print("The total population is " + str(int(tp)))

# the call function

What is a program?

Generally, a program is simply defined as programming written into a computer or other equipment in order to do a certain task

In conclusion, to write a program that takes these inputs and displays a prediction of the total population must consider  the parameters and the code platform (python), Hence

# on python interface required library is explored

import math

# describe the functions needed

def prediction():

sp = int(input("Enter the initial number of organism: "))

g = float(input("Enter the rate of growth [a real number > 0]: "))

while(g<1):

print ("Invalid.. growth rate.")

g = float(input("Enter the rate of growth [a real number > 0]: "))

r = int(input("Enter the number of hours to achieve the rate of growth: "))

t = int(input("Enter the total hours of growth: "))

tp=sp

hours = 1

while (hours < t):

# the calculation for tp

tp *= g

hours += r

print("The total population is " + str(int(tp)))

#call the created function

CQ

A local biologist needs a program to predict population growth. The inputs would be: 1. The initial number of organisms 2. The rate of growth (a real number greater than 1) 3. The number of hours it takes to achieve this rate 4. A number of hours during which the population grows.                           For example, one might start with a population of 500 organisms, a growth rate of 2, and a growth period to achieve this rate of 6 hours. Assuming that none of the organisms die, this would imply that this population would double in size every 6 hours. Thus, after allowing 6 hours for growth, we would have 1000 organisms, and after 12 hours we would have 2000 organisms. Write a program that takes these inputs and displays a prediction of the total population.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

analogous structures

Analogous structures are similar in function but do not necessarily suggest that the organisms are related.

What are analogous structures?

The term “analogous” is used to describe biological structures that have similar or analogous functions but are not of the same evolutionary lineage. This means that the same biological structures are used by the same species for the same purposes, but the species are from different evolutionary origins. This type of evolution is called convergent evolution.

For example, similar structures of different species might have similar or equivalent functions, even though they originated from a different evolutionary point of view.

The wings of birds and insects are similar organs. Both birds and insects have wings that allow them to fly. However, their wings come from different ancestors. This is an example of analogous structure.

Radiocarbon dating

Explanation:

Radiocarbon dating is a technique for determining the age of carbon-based materials derived from live beings. By measuring the quantity of carbon-14 in a sample and comparing it to an internationally accepted reference standard, an age may be determined. Radiocarbon dating is based on the basic principle that all living organisms absorb carbon from the atmosphere and food sources around them, including a small quantity of naturally radioactive carbon-14. When a plant or animal dies, it stops absorbing carbon, but the radioactive carbon it has stored decays.

Next, envision those pieces of debris colliding with each other, explosively creating even more smashed bits, as they continue zooming through space. Now, try to imagine a cloud of this debris encircling our planet.You have just created a picture of space junk.Space junk is a term used to describe the different bits and pieces of debris that orbit earth and other planets at mind-boggling speeds.What is this junk, and how did it end up in outer space?This junk is actually debris from objects sent into space. It includes everything from parts of space shuttles to satellites. Pieces from rocket launchers, bits of metal fallen off of satellites, nuts and bolts, and even chips of paint are all considered space junk. The Space Surveillance Network, a group that keeps track of the debris, has seen garbage bags, lens caps, and even a spatula!Currently, there are around 900,000 pieces of debris between 1 centimeter and 10 centimeters in length orbiting in our space system, and this number is growing. The pieces vary in size from softball-sized to those the size of marbles, or even smaller. Additionally, there are millions of debris pieces too small to measure.But isnt space HUGE? Isnt there enough room for these little bits of junk to pass each other?Although space is extremely vast, most of the junk that is worrisome is orbiting earth. It is estimated that there are about 22,300 bits of trash the size of golf balls, in addition to half a million smaller pieces whizzing around earth in the low earth orbit. This means that the junk is within 1,250 miles of earths surface. Sharing this space are active satellites, so there is growing concern about how to keep the satellites from being hit by the debris. There have been a few incidents where this has already happened. For example, in 1996, some debris from a French rocket damaged a French satellite. Surprisingly, the rocket had been launched ten years previously! In 2009, a non-operational Russian satellite smashed into an American satellite. This collision added another 2,000 pieces of junk to the growing pile of space debris.Scientists have labored for years to try to protect both active satellites and the International Space Station (ISS), a space laboratory run by astronauts from different nations. To protect the ISS, scientists have developed the capability to maneuver the station out of harms way. There are also emergency plans in place to protect the astronauts working at the ISS. These plans would isolate the crew to another part of the station to keep them safe in the event of a collision.Still, these measures do not solve the problem of what to do about space junk.In our modern world, we have become more and more dependent on satellites to help us with many things. Among these are communication systems, weather predictions, and navigation. The more we rely on advanced technology, the more likely it is that we will send additional satellites into space. It is not realistic to assume that the number of items launched into space will decrease.Scientists are working on solutions to deal with the problem. For example, Japan has designed a device that looks like a giant rope with a 444-pound weight attached to one end. The weight could swing around and basically knock debris out of orbit. Then it would burn up in earths atmosphere. Other ideas for debris removal have included harpoons, giant magnets, and nets that would capture the debris. Some solutions propose an end-of-life plan for future launches, in which the debris would be sent farther into space or destroyed.Because humans interest in exploring space continues to grow, there is little chance that the number of objects in space will decrease. However, as people become more aware of the problem of space junk, the same energy dedicated to exploring space must be directed toward creative ways of cleaning it up.Read this sentence from "Space Junk!"In our modern world, we have become more and more dependent on satellites to help us with many things.
