Introduction:
Reproductive cells which pass on genetic traits from the parent to child are produced by the process of meiosis. In order to maintain the same number of chromosomes in each generation, an organism produces gametes. Gametes are sex cells and have half the number of chromosomes.
Answer to Problem 3STP
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option C. 3 and 7
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option C. 3 and 7 −During metaphase of meiosis I, pairs of homologous chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell. During anaphase I the homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. At the end of meiosis I the daughter nuclei have half the number of chromosomes. One chromosome from each pair of homologous chromosomes enters the daughter cell. In anaphase II the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles. At the end of meiosis II, four new cells are formed with nuclei containing only one sister chromatid of the homologous pair. During gamete formation, the sister chromatids separate and they are randomly distributed. So in gametes, the chromosome 3 and 7 are more likely to be found together. Hence, this is the correct option.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option A. 1 and 2- Chromosomes 1 and 2 form homologous pair. During gamete formation, they will separate and enter different gametes. Hence, this is not the correct option.
Option B. 3 and 6- Chromosomes 3 and 6 will separately enter different gametes so they will not be found together. Hence, this is not the correct option.
Option D. 5 and 6- Chromosomes 5 and 6 are sister chromatids so they will separate during meiosis II. Hence, this is not the correct option.

- "One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forwardIf four babies are born on a given day What is the chance all four will be girls?

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward
