Mitosis and protein synthesis?

1.What type of information can be determined from a pedigree analysis?


a. One can see which chromosome has a defect, causing a genetic disease


b. One can determine when a recessive allele will express itself in future generations.


c. One can determine how many chromosomes are in the nucleus.


d. One can trace patterns of inheritance through many generations.





2.Which of these is considered a difference between mitosis and meiosis?


a. mitosis produces daughter cells that are identical, meiosis produces daughter cells with reduced amount of chromosomes


b. mitosis produces cells with considerable genetic variation, meiosis does not


c. mitosis only happens in multicellular organisms, meiosis occurs in unicellular ones


d. mitosis is a much slower process than meiosis


3.Which cellular organelle increases the surface area inside the cytoplasm to allow for more protein synthesis?


a. chloroplasts b. spindle fibers c. endoplasmic reticulum d. mitochondria

Mitosis and protein synthesis?
1. a or d


2.a


3.c
Reply:1. D (technically A is possible too but it needs actual alleles each family member has)


2.A


3. C
