According to the law of independent assortment, with the tetrads in this position, answer the following questions: a. Draw what each of the daughter cells will look like by the end of this process, make sure you indicate which alleles are present in each daughter cell (3pts). b. What is the genetic content of the starting cell? What is the genetic content of the daughter cells (1pt)? c. Is this the only possible arrangement of the chromosomes in the starting cell? Briefly explain why or why not (1pt, you may type this answer (answer c only) in the text box below if you wish).  

A relatively new, experimental procedure for the destruction of cancer cells is called Boron Neutron Capture Therapy. Boron-10, a non-radioactive isotope, concentrates within cancerous tumors. The patient is then irradiated with neutrons, which are absorbed by the boron to produce high energy alpha particle radiation which can target and destroy the cancerous cells of the tumor. How many protons, electrons and neutrons would an atom of the isotope B-10 have?
