The micronucleus of each cell divides once, producing two nuclei, and each cell exchanges one nucleus with the other cell. In each partner the two micronuclei fuse, forming a diploid zygote micronucleus in each cell. c. the micronucleus of each of the disengaged partners divides meiotically. Macronuclei divide again in each cell, and the original micronucleus breaks down. Each cell has two haploid micronuclei; one of the macronuclei develops into a micronucleus. d. the mating cells join together at opposite sites of their oral depression. e. the micronucleus in each cell undergoes mitosis. When mitosis is complete, there are four diploid macronuclei; the micronucleus then breaks down.arrow_forward

When certain haploids come into contact, they fuse their cell walls and membranes, followed by the fusion of their nuclear membranes. The single nucleus now has 32 chromosomes, 16 from each parent strain, and is thus a diploid. Haploid yeast strains divide mitotically to give rise to haploid progeny, and diploid strains divide mitotically to give rise to diploid progeny. Certain haploids can fuse to form diploids. Haploid S. cerevisiae exists in two "mating types," called a and a. Mating occurs only between a and a cells; no mating occurs between cells of identical mating type. We have a collection of eight a haploid mutant strains and eight a haploid mutant strains of yeast unable to synthesize tryptophan (trp). These will be combined (mated) in all possible combinations to yield diploid strains. If the diploids can grow on minimal medium,…arrow_forwardIn a particular plant species, 2n=12.

- Alternation of generations means -One phase of the life cycle is photosynthetic and the other is heterotrophic. -One phase of the life cycle is unicellular and the other is multicellular. -One phase of the life cycle takes place on land and the other in water. -One phase of the life cycle is multicellular diploid and the other is multicellular haploid. -One phase of the life cycle is motile and the other is stationary.arrow_forwardUnder the endosymbiotic theory for the origin of the eukaryotic cell. The ancestor of mitochondria and chloroplasts original became part of mutualism with a larger host cell. Which of the following best explains this mutualism? A) The mitochondria and chloroplasts provided specialized reproduction as part of the proto-germ line while the larger host cell provided energy for growth and reproduction. B) The mitochondria and chloroplasts provided gene products that could be used by the larger host cell for improved parasitization. C) The mitochondria and chloroplasts provided molecular energy in return for protection by the larger host cell. D) The mitochondria and chloroplasts produce toxins that the larger cell utilized to defend itself from other cells mutually increasing the defense of all those involved.arrow_forwardAn infectious disease research group is studying a microbe that can cause infections and gastrointestinal disease in humans, and which can also survive and reproduce in hamsters. A dormant cyst form of the microbe infects human hosts through fecal-oral transmission if they come in contact with hamster droppings and don’t wash their hands before eating. The organism exhibits active, motile morphological forms at other stages of its life cycle. Sexual reproduction (fusion of haploid gametes) occurs in the hamsters; only asexual reproduction occurs in humans. It has a nucleus, but does NOT have a cell wall.
