Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between meiosis and mendel’s law of independent assortment? crossing over occurs in metaphase and leads to variation. sister chromatids separate in anaphase 2. homologous pairs randomly separate in anaphase i. non-sister homologs break off and reform on different chromosomes.

Athermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. what would cause the liquid in the thermometer to rise?

Clara wrote the following hypothesis for an experiment about acidophilic bacteria. bacteria cells will stop dividing in a basic (alkaline) environment because of the high ph. which statement is the best way to restate the hypothesis so that it is more specific? growing acidophilic bacteria in some environments will cause the cells to stop dividing because of ph. if the ph of their environment is changed, acidophilic bacterial cell division will be affected. if the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing. the more alkaline an environment, the less cell division will occur in bacteria.

Red–green color blindness is an x-linked recessive trait in humans. polydactyly (extra fingers and toes) is an autosomal dominant trait. martha has normal fingers and toes and normal color vision. her mother is normal in all respects, but her father is color blind and polydactylous. bill is color blind and polydactylous. his mother has normal color vision and normal fingers and toes. if bill and martha marry, what proportions of children with specific phenotypes would they be expected to produce? the answers only include the proportions of some of the possible phenotypes; other phenotypes are also expected to occur but are not included.
