If there are 20 chromtids in a cell how many centromeres are there?

10 A group of cells is assayed for DNA content immediately following mitosis and is found to have an average of 8 picograms of DNA per nucleus. How many picograms would be found at the end of S and the end of G2? 16:16 During which phase of mitosis do the chromatids become chromosomes? Telophase Which of the following is a protein maintained at constant levels throughout the cell cycle requires cyclin to become catalytically active? CDK At which stage of mitosis are chromosomes usually photographed in the preparation of a karyotype? Metaphase How do cells at the completion of meiosis compare with cells that have replicated their DNA and are just about to begin meiosis? They have half the number of chromosomes and the amount of DNA When homologous chromosomes crossover, what occurs? Specific proteins break the two strands and re-join them with their homologs What do we mean when we use the terms monohybrid cross and dihybrid cross? A dihybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for two characters and a monohybrid cross involves only one Mendels observations of the separation of alleles in gamete formation has its basis in which of the following phases of cell division? Anaphase I of meiosis Mendels second law of independent assortment has its basis in which of the following events of meiosis I? Alignment of tetrads at the equator When Thomas Hunt Morgan crossed his red-eyed F1 generation flies to each other, the F2 generation included both red- and white-eyed flies. Remarkably, all the white-eyed flies were male. What was the explanation for this result? The gene involved is on the X chromosome What is the reason that linked genes are inherited together? They are located close together on the same chromosome Why does recombination between linked genes continue to occur? New allele combinations are acted upon by natural selection In his transformation experiments, what did Griffith observe? Mixing a heat-killed pathogenic strain of bacteria with a living nonpathogenic strain can convert some of the living cells into the pathogenic form It became apparent to Watson and Crick after completion of their model that the DNA molecule could carry a vast amount of hereditary information in which of the following? Sequence of bases A new DNA strand elongates only in the 5 to 3 direction because DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the free 3 end The nitrogeneous base adenine is found in all membranes of which group?

ATP, RNA, and DNA A particular triplet of bases in the template strand of DNA is 5 AGT 3. The corresponding codon for the mRNA transcribed is 3 UCA 5 Alternative RNA splicing Can allow the production of proteins of different sizes from a single mRNA The tryptophan operon is a repressible operon that is Turned off when ever tryptophan is added to the growth medium The lactose operon is likely to be transcribed when The cyclic AMP and lactose levels are both high within the cell Genomic imprinting, DNA methylation and histone acetylation are examples of Epigenetic phenomena The host range of a virus is determined by The proteins on its surface and that of the host Why do RNA viruses appear to have higher rates of mutation? Replication of their genomes does not involve proofreading Which viruses have single-straded RNA that acts as a template for DNA synthesis? Retoviruses
