How cells know whether sister kinetochores are properly attached to the mitotic spindle?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. When sister chromatids are correctly attached to microtubules, their kinetochores are under tension. Mitotic spindle attached to the kinetochores pull at them, and the cohesin molecules that hold the sister chromatids together withstand these forces, creating tension at kinetochores.
  2. When sister chromatids are correctly attached to microtubules, their kinetochores are not under tension. One kinetochore attaches to microtubules emanating from two opposite spindle poles.
  3. When sister chromatids are correctly attached to microtubules, their kinetochores are not under tension. Both sister kinetochores attach to microtubules emanating from the same spindle pole.
  4. When sister chromatids are correctly attached to microtubules, their kinetochores are not under tension. Only one of the two sister kinetochores attaches to microtubules.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Assume that three loci, each with two alleles (A and a, B and b, C and c), determine the differences in height between two homozygous strains of a plant. These genes are additive and equal in their effects on plant height. One strain (aabbcc) is 10 cm in height. The other strain (AABBCC) is 22 cm in height. The two strains are crossed, and the resulting F1 are interbred to produce 1000 F2 progeny. what is number of F2 progeny having intermediate height?
