Explain how the number of chromosomes differ from Mitosis vs Meiosis

Biology

Mitosis is the process by  which your cells make copies of themselves before they die. Therefore, the new cells end with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. one cell beginning= 12 chromosomes; two cell ending= 12 chromosomes each. (2N)

Meiosis is the process by which your cells make sex cells (gametes- sperm or egg) cells. Because you will get the other half of the sex cells from your mate, each cell ends with half the number of chromosomes. one cell beginning= 12 chromosomes; four cells ending= 6 chromosomes each. Half the number of chromosomes (1N)

N= the number of sets of chromosomes

When Mitosis occurs it is allowing more cells to be made with only the one organisms Chromosomes, meaning that you can have the full 23 pairs of chromosomes. However in the case of Meiosis, the data for the new cells have to be taken from more than one cells saved DNA so it will mix with the reproductive cells of the opposite sex.

postnew [5]

Answer: hopefully this helps? :)

Which of Mendel's postulates do these families demonstrate? Select all that apply. Select all that apply. Unit factors exist in
elena-s [515]

Answer:

If the question is referring to Mendel's postulates, all options are correct

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel discovered that certain components he called UNIT FACTORS determine inheritance. This unit factors were later described to be genes in modern genetics. He discovered that an organism receives two forms of this unit factors from each parent, which he called ALLELES. In his experiments, he observed that one of the pair of alleles have the ability to mask the expression of its variant pair. He called the allele that masks, DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked, RECESSIVE allele.

During his cross experiment, he discovered that the alleles of a gene (unit factor) separates into gametes, he called this LAW OF SEGREGATION. He notably discovered in his cross involving two different characters that the segregation of the alleles of one gene into gametes does not influence the segregation of the alleles of the other gene. He termed this his LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT.

Using a food label, explain what each section will tell you and why that would be important to, say, a long-distance runner.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The following are the sections which can be seen in a food label:

1) Product dates:

Under this section look for the production date and the expiry date ( best before). The production date tells when the food was made. The expiry date tells the date before which the food has to be used.

2) Ingredient list:

The list of all the ingredients used for the preparation of the food is mentioned.

3) Nutrition Facts Label

At the top of this label, we will see the total number of servings and size of the container. Thus table shows some key nutrients and the percent of them present in the container of food. It also shows the calories of each. Percent Daily Value (DV) shows the percentage of each nutrient present.

The nutrient label are important to an athlete because he/she needs to take a diet which is capable of filling us nutrient requirements. Athletes tend to perform well when they have a balanced diet. To get a balanced diet, they need to look at the nutritional values.
