Question

Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes by one third reduce the number of chromosomes by one half triples the number of chromosomes both c and e are correct occurs in somatic cells only How many H1 histone protein molecules are associated with a human chromosome that is 166,000,000bp in length ? 442, 800,000 1,000,000 2,000,000 0 not enough information What is the function of helicase? unwind DNA strand wind DNA strand incorporate bases into a growing DNA polymer fix nicks in single-stranded DNA fix nicks in double-stranded DNA In horses, the expression of no pigment results in a while horse, red pigment result in a red horse, and the expression of both pigments results in a roan (pinkish) horse. This is likely due to codominance incomplete dominance incomplete variable expressivity simple dominance In the DNA double helix, the two strands of the helix are: complementary identical mirror images random 5' rightarrow 5' Mendel did not describe the outcomes of crosses between linked genes with alternative traits because the alleles in a heterozygote separate from each other in gamete formation all seven genes he studied were on separate chromosomes the alleles of different genes never depend on the separation of each other the diploid gene number will be restored when sperm and egg unite to form a zygote the alleles will separate from each other when a diploid organism is formed

Explanation / Answer

Ans 5 b. Reduces the chromosomal number by half

Meiosis is also called as reductional division, because it reduces the number of chromosomes by half. It is the process by which gametes are formed, if the number is not halved, it will result into double the number of chromosomes in zygote.
