What do N and 2N indicate in biology?
This indicated the difference between a haploid and a diploid, or rather if a cell has 1 or 2 sets of chromosomes. N = Haploid (A gamete or sex cell) 2N = Diploid (Somatic cell)
What is the probability that a particular allele will be in a gamete?
chromosome segregationIf the character is governed by a single allele and it is dominant, than its probability to be in the gamete is 75%.
How do prophase 1 and prophrase 2 differ?
Well if you're talking about mitosis, the differences are insignificant. If you're talking about meiosis, then the differences is that DNA replication only occurs prior to prophase 1 and does not occur prior to prophase 2 in order to produce haploid gamete cells, rather than diploid somatic cells. I hope this was detailed enough. There are more differences, but I doubt you need to know them, based on your question.
What are the 4 gamete combinations?
The four gamete combinations arise from the segregation of alleles during meiosis. If considering a dihybrid cross (e.g., AaBb), the combinations are AB, Ab, aB, and ab. This occurs due to the independent assortment of the alleles for different traits, resulting in these four unique gametes. Each combination represents a different allele configuration that can contribute to offspring genetic variation.
What effect does nondisjunction have on the chromosome number of the gametes?
It gives one of the gametes an extra chromosome and leaves the other gamete with one less chromosome.
Is an ovum an diploid gamete or haploid gamete?
An ovum is a haploid gamete. It contains one set of chromosomes (23 in humans) and is produced through meiosis from a diploid cell. When the ovum fertilizes with a sperm cell, it forms a diploid zygote with a full set of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes would be present in a zebra gamete after meiosis the zebra has 50 chromosomes in its diploid cells?
A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.
What portions of the pine nut are diploid?
The embryo and endosperm of the pine nut are diploid. The embryo is formed from the fusion of a male gamete (sperm) and a female gamete (egg), both of which are haploid, resulting in a diploid zygote. The endosperm is also formed from a fusion of a male gamete and a central cell in the female gametophyte.
Is an egg cell diploid or haploid?
As a gamete, it's haploid.
What are the possible gametes for AAA AAA?
A gamete is haploid (1N) so 'Aa' & 'AA' are diploid and during cell division (mitosis) gametes are formed and then 2 gametes merge together to make a diploid (think of sperm and egg, each is haploid or 1N, when fertilization occurs the egg and sperm form 1 cell that is 2N or diploid). So the possible gametes for 'Aa' would be 'A' & 'a' while for 'AA' the only gametes possible are 'A' If the question is asking what the possible gametes are for 'AaBB' the haploid (gamete) can be 'AB' or 'aB'
How many gamete types can be formed from the following diploid individual TtPp?
Four gamete types can be formed from the diploid individual TtPp. This is because during meiosis, the two parent alleles for each gene (Tt and Pp) will segregate into separate gametes, resulting in four possible combinations of alleles (TP, Tp, tP, tp).
Certain type of diploid cell contains 58 chromosomes How many chromosomes would you expect a gamete of this organism to contain?
A gamete would be haploid, containing half the number of chromosomes compared to a diploid cell. Therefore, a gamete of this organism would be expected to contain 29 chromosomes.
How can nondisjunction in meiosis result in a diploid gamete?
If all of the chromosomes fail to separate in meiosis, then nondisjunction can result in a diploid gamete. This is a type of chromosomal mutation. In animals, a zygote produced from the union of a mutated diploid gamete and a normal haploid gamete will have triploidy, which is lethal. In plants, this is not necessarily lethal.
In an animal in which the diploid number is 28 the chromosome number of each gamete will be?
The chromosome number in each gamete will be 14, which is half of the diploid number. During meiosis, the diploid cell undergoes two rounds of cell division to produce four haploid gametes, each containing 14 chromosomes.
Are the gamete cell of your body haploid or diploid?
Human muscle cells are diploid.All human cells are diploid except for gametes (sperms and ova) and the cells that divide to form them (secondary spermatocytes and secondary oocytes).
How many chromosomes are contained in a human male gamete cell?
In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.
What happens if a gamete has the same number of a chromosome?
You'd be a multicellular diploid adult (2n=46)
