If gametes were diploid like somatic cells, how many chromosomes would the zygote contain? if gametes were diploid like somatic cells, how many chromosomes would the zygote contain? half the diploid number with no change in development twice the diploid number, and with every succeeding generation, the chromosome number would continue to double and normal development could not occur. triple the diploid number, and with every succeeding generation, the chromosome number would continue to triple and normal development would not occur. there is no relationship between gametes and somatic cells.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. when most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining populations are widely separated, we expect to see that a. the founder effect becomes increasingly important b. microevolution no longer occurs c. gene flow between populations is reduced d. artificial selection becomes a greater factor in microevolution

If two parents who's blood types are both b produce a child that has blood type o, what can you say about the parent's genotybes? oa) one is ii ob) one is ibi oc) both are bi od) nothing, this is impossible

Dna. we have heard that we are a product of our dna. but where is it? how do we "get" our dna? it is passed to us, from our parents, but in what form? several vocabulary words associated with inheritance are used interchangeably and sometimes, incorrectly. let's see if you can clear this up for someone just learning about inheritance and cell structure.
