13) Independent assortment of a result of chromosomes is random and independent way in which each pair of homologous chromosomes A) the B) lines the metaphase plate during shared by chromosomes. the relatively small degree of homology the x and Y random nature of the fertilization of ova by sperm. during random distribution of the sister chromatids to the two daughter cells C) D) the anaphase II. E) All of the above 14) ich of the following is true of a species that has a chromosome number of 2n-16? A) The species is diploid with 32 chromosomes per cell B) The species has 16 of chromosomes per cell. sets C) Each diploid cell has eight pairs of chromosomes. D) A gamete from this species has four chromosomes. 15) A plant has a unique photosynthetic pigment. The leaves of this plant appear to be reddish yellow. What wavelengths of visible light are not being absorbed by this pigment? violet D) green, blue, and A) green and yellow E) red and yellow B) blue, green, and red C) blue and violet 16) The oxygen consumed during cellular respiration is involved directly in which process or event? A) the citric acid cycle B) the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA C) the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP transport chain D) accepting electrons at the end of the electron E) glycolysis Solution 1.when two or more characteristics are inherited, individual hereditary factors assort independently during gamete production, giving different traits an equal opportunity of occurring together. Independent Assortment occurs in metaphase I. So answer is A 2.Only the body cells will be having 8 homologous chromosomes not each cell, if it does than gamate cell won\'t be haploid. So its only the body cell that will be having 8 homologous chromosomes. So answer is C 4..The electron transport chain in the mitochondrion is the site of oxidative phosphorylation in eukaryotes. So answer is D 3. The set of wavelengths that a pigment doesn\'t absorb are reflected, and the reflected light is what we see as color. So answer is C.
