if cytokinesis did not occur after mitosis?

Biology questions about RNA, mitosis, and definitions of genetics terms
1. What are the three types of RNA? What is the function of each?
2. Define mitosis and cytokinesis. What would a daughter cell look like if cytokinesis did not occur after mitosis?
3. Define the following terms: gene, allele, dominant, recessive, true breeding, homozygous, heterozygous, cross-fertilization, self-fertilization.
The answer to the first question briefly describes RNA and the difference between RNA and DNA, then describes the three main types of RNA. The answer to the second question defines mitosis and the different stages of mitosis, in addition to answering the questions given. The answer to the third question consists of a definition of each term.

- Heredity. Life on earth (biological concepts from the non-science major perspective) - Here is how the question reads: Heredity. Choose a human trait which follows Mendelian genetics; controlled by a simple gene with a dominant and a recessive allele. Describe this trait; either a c ...
- Fruit fly genetics is configured. - In fruit flies, vestigial wings (v) are recessive to normal wings (V). In a breeding study, 6,000 flies homozygous for vestigial wings mate at random with 4,000 flies homozygous for the normal allele ...
- Mating among offspring is summarized. - Why is mating between related people result in genetic disorders? Ideas are expressed.
- Homozygous recessive individuals are discussed. - Is it possible for offspring of a homozygous recessive individual to show the dominant phenotype? If yes, what would have to be true? Ideas are debated.
- Mendelian Genetics - "a" is a dominant mutant allele of the A gene, and "b" is the recessive mutant allele of the B gene. To see the mutant phenotype, one requires either an "a" mutant phenotype or a "b" mutant phenotype ...
