Gametes have how many sets of chromosomes?
Gametes, the sex cells, have only one set of chromosomes. The process in which a gamete from two sexually reproducing organisms fuse is called fertilization and creates a new organism with one set of chromosomes from each parent.
How many chromosomes do birds have?
Nearly each species of bird has its own unique number of chromosomes. It can be very difficult to determine the exact number because many of these chromosomes are highly fragmented into multiple 'microchromosomes.' In short, the answer is: "It depends..."
How is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy inherited monosomy or trisomy?
Duchenne affects approximately 1 in every 3500 boys, or 20,000 babies born each year worldwide. Because the Duchenne gene is on the X chromosome, the disorder manifests primarily in boys. In nearly 35% of cases, Duchenne is caused by random genetic mutation.
Calico cats are nearly all females because the alleles for the different colors that appear are carried on the X chromosomes. Males are never multicolored because they can only carry one form of the a?
It is most common for calico cats to be female because the alleles for the different colors are carried on the X chromosome, which female organisms have two of (XX in female versus XY in males). Male calicos do exist and can be multicolored, but they are rare because they only carry one X chromosome.
What are the paired chromosomes in eukaryotes?
in eukaryotes, there is usually a double set of genome (whole genetic information needed to build the organism). The genome is represented by chromosomes. For example, human cells possess 23 chromosomes. But, there are another 23 chromosomes in the cells, called homologous chromosomes. Their genetic information is very similar, nearly the same. The reason why the information is not 100% the same, is that one set of the 23 chromosomes comes from mother's egg and the second set comes from father's spermatozoon.
How many base pairs do real human chromosomes consist of?
Approximately ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY MILLION140,000,000

Each chromosome of a eukaryotic cell consists of a pair of identical structures called?
Chromosomes exist in somatic cells as nearly identical copies of each other called homologous chromosome. The formation of daughter cells that occurs during cytokinesis signals the end of cell division.

Mongolian ruler Genghis Khan spread an unusual chromosome to nearly 16 million men living today resulted from studies of?
The Y chromosome. Also, the #1 reason for hostile work environments.
What is found within the nucleus?
The nucleus contains nearly all the cell's DNA. * In the nucleus are chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of one (or, after replication, two) molecule of DNA, with proteins, most of which are histones, along its length. One region of the nucleus is the nucleolus, in which most of the genes for synthesizing ribosomal RNA are found.

Can cailco cats only be female?
Now that a calico cat has been defined as a cat with three colors, the question is: why are they nearly always female? The answer is in genetics. Coat color in cats is a sex-linked trait, a physical characteristic (coat color) related to gender. Female animals have two X chromosomes (XX), males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY). The genetic coding for displaying black or orange color is found on the X chromosome. The coding for white is a completely separate gene. Since females have two X chromosomes, they are able to "display" two colors (orange and black, or variations thereof) and white; creating the 3-color calico mix. Since males have only one X chromosome, they can only be orange OR black. It is more complicated than simply having the color genes -- it is a complex process of dominant and non-dominate genes interacting on the X chromosomes, but that is the basis for coat color in calico cats. For those of you interested in the detailed coat color genetics, please see the "Related Reading" articles at the bottom of this FAQ. Can a calico cat ever be male? Yes, in rare instances. In this situation, the cat has two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome (XXY). Cats with this chromosomal configuration are usually sterile (not able to breed). This is similar to a condition in humans called Klinefelter's syndrome, or XXY Syndrome.
Is there a planet smaller than earth?
Yes Mercury (smallest), Mars and Venus (nearly the same size asEarth).

What is the smallest pyramid?
The Pyramid of Menkaure, located on the Giza Plateau in the southwestern outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, is the smallest of the three great Pyramids of Giza. Most pyramids were made nearly equal in size.
