2. Not all heat shock proteins are chaperones; some are proteins that facilitate the degradation rather than the refolding of other proteins. Explain why the rate of protein degradation would increase during heat shock

Why does meiosis produce cells with half the chromosomes? o a. most of the chromosomes are not necessary to keep an organism alive. b. a gamete needs only half the number of chromosomes because two gametes join together. o c. it makes the gametes easier to move around in the organism. o d. it is faster to produce gametes with fewer chromosomes.

6. in domesticated cats, the following are independently assorting: normal ears (t) is dominant to tufted ears (t); curved whiskers (c) is dominant to straight whiskers (c); the presence of six toes (s) is dominant to five toes (s); gene for hair length is an x-linked codominant. the three phenotypes for hair length are long (xhxh), medium (xhxh), and short (xhxh); medium is the heterozygous condition. given two parents: ttccssxhxh x ttccssxhy how many different gametes could be formed in the female cat with respect to these four traits? how many phenotypes are possible in the offspring from this mating?
