The reduction in chromosome number occurs during <u>meiosis I.</u>

Chromosomes are long molecules of DNA that contain some or all of an organism's genetic material. In most chromosomes, very long, thin strands of DNA are coated with packaging proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the histones are the most important of these proteins.

Within the nucleus of all cells, DNA molecules are packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly wrapped many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Another type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes from generation to generation. This is a two-step process in which the number of chromosomes is halved from 46 to 23 to form sperm and eggs.

How can mutations lead to human evolution?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

How Mutations Can Lead to Human Evolution?

Explanation:

A mutation is the random change in the nucleotide sequence or in the DNA organization (genotype) of a living being, [1] that produces a variation in its characteristics and that is not necessarily transmitted to the offspring. It occurs spontaneously and suddenly or due to the action of mutagens. This change will be present in a small proportion of the population (variant) or the organism (mutation). The genetic unit capable of mutating is the gene, the unit of hereditary information that is part of DNA.

In multicellular beings, mutations can only be inherited when they affect reproductive cells. A consequence of mutations can be, for example, a genetic disease. However, although they may seem harmful in the short term, mutations are essential to our long-term existence. Without mutation there would be no change, and without change life could not evolve.

You are watching sleep researchers monitor the sleep of a normal adult. The participant is hooked up to an EEG. What brain waves
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "Alpha eventually replaced by theta".

Explanation:

Electroencephalogram (EEG) techniques allows researchers to monitor the phases of sleeping according of what brain waves are seen in the equipment. A normal adult connected to EEG will respond with alpha waves during a wakeful state. However, as the person becomes drowsy and enters to the first stage of sleep, the alpha waves will be eventually replaced by theta waves. Theta waves are the dominant waves during sleeping, and also could be seen during deep meditation.

Which labeled placemark in the layers folder represents the stratosphere?
Leya [2.2K]
The atmosphere is divided into different regions, called layers. The layer closest to the surface is known as troposphere, after which comes the stratosphere. The stratosphere begins at an altitude of 10 miles above the surface of the earth and stretches up to 31 miles above the surface of the earth. It is the second layer of the atmosphere (beginning from the surface of the earth) and it is the region which contains ozone, which plays a vital role in stopping ultraviolet radiation from reaching the earth's surface.
