What must happen to a chromosome before a cell starts mitosis?

Biology

The chromosome must be duplicated before mitosis.

Mitosis is where a parent cell divides and produces 2 genetically indentical daughters cells. This process first requires the parent call to duplicate all of its genetic material. This ensures that the daughters cells are genetically identical to the parent cell and also the other daughter cell.

This is important because mitosis is used in many cases in living things such as growth, repair, and more. This ensures us for example not suddenly changed to another organism or another characteristic.

HELP! This is the amount of oxygen present at a specific time that can be used in aerobic cellular respiration.
skad [1K]

Available oxygen

Available oxygen is the amount of oxygen present at a specific time that can be used in aerobic cellular respiration.

Aerobic cellular respiration is a metabolic process that occurs within the cells of organisms. In this process, oxygen is used in the mitochondria to chemically convert organic molecules such as glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), with the release of water and carbon dioxide as waste products. Aerobic cellular respiration results in a larger amount of energy (ATP) which is used by the cell to perform its activities.

A zonkey comes from a zebra(46 diploid chromosomes) and a donkey (62 diploid chromosomes).
MAVERICK [17]
Q1. The answer is 53 chromosomes

Zebra has 44 diploid chromosomes (2n = 44). Zebra's gametes are haploid, so they will have 22 chromosomes (n = 22).
Donkey has 62 diploid chromosomes (2n = 62). Zebra's gametes are haploid, so they will have 31 chromosomes (n = 31).
After fusion of zebra's gamete (n = 22) and donkey's gamete (n = 31), the zonkey's zygote will have 22 + 31 = 53 chromosomes


Q2 and Q3. In the meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half. Since zonkey has 53 chromosomes, after meiosis it should have 53/2 chromosomes, which is not the whole number. This is the reason why they cannot produce normal gametes that will result, after the fusion, in the production of normal diploid zygote

Immunizations that the elderly need to receive on a yearly basis include the following:
lord [1]

Answer:

Option (a), (b) and (c)

Explanation:

At the old age, a person's immune system becomes weak and the person becomes more prone to diseases like influenza or common cold or flu.

These infections are more common at the age above 60 years where a severe condition of cold can also lead to Pneumonia.

Also those people which did not have the Tetanus vaccine at the age of 11 or 12 must have the Tetanus Tdap.

The lack of immunity to fight against seasonal changes make it necessary for the elderly people to get influenza vaccine.

Also Pneumonia vaccine provides protection against 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria thus it necessitates the vaccination of Pneumonia.
