What is the different between somatic cells and haploid gamete cells?

Biology
1 answer:
cricket20 [7]4 years ago
3 0
Somatic cells or body cells have a dipliod or full set of chromosomes. Gametes or sex cells, also called germ cells, have a hapliod number of chromosomes or half the number. Somatic cells are diploid cells, whereas the gametes are haploid cells. Meiosis does not take place during the production of somatic cells, whereas meiosis takes place during gametogenesis (production of gametes) giving rise to haploid cells. Somatic cells do not fuse during sexual reproduction, whereas gametes fuse during sexual reproduction giving rise to a diploid zygote.Somatic cells are found almost everywhere in the body, whereas gametes are restricted to certain parts

This would have nothing to do with the DNA it's self, and also protein has nothing to do with it also.<span>Nucleic Acid would be small particals in the cells that would consists of molecules would some sort of chain which would then lead to the DNA, but it would actually have not resemblance of the nucleic acid at any point.

The fatal human illness called Huntington disease is caused by a dominant mutant allele. Calculate the probability that a couple
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: There is a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit Huntington's disease

Explanation:

Huntington's disease is expressed by a dominant allele.

Since the father is heterozygous for Huntington's disease, his genotype would be as follows:Hh

Even though he carries a normal allele, the dominant allele is disease causing and thus masks the effects of the normal allele, therefore he expresses the disease.

The mother does not have Huntington's because she is homozygous recessive, in other words, she carries 2 copies of the normal alleles.with the genotype hh.

If you do a punnet square, and you cross the mother and father, the following genotypes can be produced:

Hh, Hh, hh, hh

Therefore, there's a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit the disease causing allele and 50% chance that the offspring will not inherit it.

Activity 2<br> Label the parts of the female reproductive system​
amm1812

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The female reproductive system is composed of internal and external sex organs. These organs are immature at birth but develops during puberty and enable the production of gametes or sex cells, and are also equipped with structures to carry a foetus during pregnancy.

The exterior of the female reproductive organ consists of the vagina and its associated structures. The vagina now leads to other internal structures in the female reproductive system such as uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix, and ovary.

An image of the full anatomy of the female reproductive system is shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

Invasive species are animals or plants from another region of the world that don’t belong in their new environment. They can be introduced to an area by ship ballast water, accidental release, and most often, by people.
