Why do sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in a organism?

Biology
1 answer:
Viktor [21]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Since a species' chromosome count doesn't change from generation to generation, meiosis requires that the number of chromosomes in germ cells be cut in half. Meiosis, unlike mitosis, achieves this accomplishment by requiring a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division.

How is DNA copied?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The DNA is copied by B: The sense strand of DNA is used as a template to create both strands of the new double helix.

Explanation:

Ok, the DNA is "copied" in the tanscription process. The transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). Also, the DNA safely stores genetic material.

During the process of transcription a single strand of RNA is synthesized using a double stranded DNA molecule as a template.  The two strands of the DNA molecule are separated from one another, exposing the nitrogenous bases. Only one strand is actively used as a template in the transcription process, this is known as the sense strand, or template strand. The complementary DNA strand, the one that is not used, is called the nonsense or antisense strand.

Why are a plants stomata generally open during the day and closed at night brainly?
bagirrra123 [75]
To keep in the stored enzymes so it can keep synthesizing at night, even when there is no sunlight. -- Stomata serve two main functions - they allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells in the leaf where the majority of photosynthesis takes place and they allow water to be transpired out off the leaf. During the day, stomata are generally open to allow photosynthesis to take place as quickly as possible. At night, when the lack of light means photosynthesis can't take place, many plants close their stomata to reduce water loss. There is one group of mainly desert plants, known as CAM plants, that keep their stomata closed during the day when water loss would be greatest, and open them at night, using a biochemical method to effectively store carbon dioxide in the leaf overnight.
