How does the Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates?

Biology

The Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates because the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

<h3>How does the Foucault pendulum work?</h3>

The Foucault pendulum was able to demonstrate experimentally that the Earth revolves around itself with an angular velocity Ω, in a period of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

Thus, Foucault knew that the longer the string attached to the weight, the slower the swing of his pendulum. He could attach the string above to an almost frictionless pin, and if he used a very large weight, the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

Meiosis Foldable Activity 515.2
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Explanation:

During the process of prophase I, the nuclear envelope containing chromosomes has only partly broken down homologous chromosomes are joined together by proteins and a complex or pairing call synapsis- corresponding genes on sister chromatids are aligned precisely.

The syanapsis allows for crossing over which is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. In meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved to 23 chromosomes (haploid number)through meiotic divisions, producing 4 haploid (n) germ cells or gametes (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

In Meiosis I

  • homologs pair off into bivalents
  • At crossing over: the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined in prophase I  forming bivalents; tetrads are formed.
  • Spindle fibers from centrioles join sister chromatids together at their centromeres in metaphase I, pulling them to the equator of the cell;
  • then, in anaphase I, while joined, they are pulled to opposite sides of the cell; the cell body splits and the nuclear envelope reforms in telophase I

In Meiosis II...

  • Later, in prophase II, the nuclear envelope disintegrates and mitotic spindle fibers are formed
  • independent assortment occurs. in metaphase II of meiosis: spindle fibers attach to centromeres, chromatids align independently at the equator. Genes segregate independently into new combinations as sister chromatids are pulled apart by their centromeres in anaphase II
  • in telophase II the cells' nuclei and membrane are then formed with each containing the haploid number (n)
  • Following the formation of gametes in the last stage, randomized fertilization occurs in sexual reproduction sperm cells fertilize an ovum to form a zygote. This occurs randomly by chance, to result in a complete set of chromosomes 2n, that is a novel combination of half each parent's number of chromosomes

Cual es la importancia de la genética y la herencia, desde el punto de vista científico y social?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

La genética ayuda a explicar: Lo que nos hace únicos. Por qué los miembros de la familia tienen rasgos en común. Por qué algunas enfermedades, como la diabetes o el cáncer, vienen de familia, La genética médica es una especialidad médica que trata con el diagnóstico y manejo de las enfermedades hereditarias. La finalidad de esta especialidad es brindar una medicina personalizada al paciente y por ende en algunos casos, tratamientos personalizados,los científicos pueden hacer ciertas combinaciones entre genes de diferentes especies, para así solucionar problemas y mejorar el rendimiento económico-comercial de las explotaciones. Se pueden buscar curas a enfermedades genéticas para que las nuevas generaciones nazcan más sanas.
