Answer:

The unique things happen in meiosis are there is no DNA replication, the time taken for completion is longer. This is reductional division having two divisions i.e. meiosis-1 and meiosis-2. The meiosis-2 division is similar to the mitotic cell division.

Explanation:

The meiotic cell division is reductional while the mitosis is equational division. The meiotic cell division occurs in germ cells while the mitotic cell division has seen in body cells. The meiosis has certain peculiarities that are not found in mitotic cell division.  

The meiotic cell division takes longer time than the mitosis. It can be taken years to complete. Mitotic cell division takes one or two and a half hours to complete.  

There is no DNA replication in both the meiotic cell division as it reduces the number of chromosomes. In mitosis during the cell cycle DNA replication occurs.  

In meiosis, the exchange of genetic materials occurs between the homologous chromosomes takes place in prophase-1 of the meiosis. The prophase-1 is the longest stage and have 5 substages.

Another peculiarity in meiosis is the daughter cells formed during telophase-1 of the first division, directly enters into the metaphase-2 of second meiotic division.

The second division of meiosis-2 is similar to the mitotic cell division. The only difference is mitosis produces 2n cells as output while the end of the second meiotic division results in 'n' number of cells.

In cardiac muscle

a. an action potential spreads throughout the Z discs.

b. intercalated discs connect the muscle fibers together.

c. calcium enters the cell from storage chambers called intercalated discs.

d. potassium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Answer:

b. intercalated discs connect the muscle fibers together.

Explanation:

Intercalated discs are components of the muscles found in the heart(cardiac muscles).

Intercalated discs join the cardiomyoctes (muscle cells or fibers) together so that they can function as one and transmit signals amongst themselves during the contraction of the heart.

Intercalated discs are made of up desmosomes and gap junctions.

Intercalated discs are found on the lining of the sacromere and can only be seen by using a microscope to observe the longitudinal section of the heart tissue.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B. They are small because they lack a nucleus.

Explanation:

Red blood cells or erythrocytes are specialized cell that produce in bone marrow and have specific role such as carrying oxygen from lungs to deliver it to the various organs and carry out carbon dioxide.

In mammals these cells lack cell organelles such as nucleus and mitochondria, a major factor that determined its smaller size. The size of RBC are move through narrow vessels throughout a organism because of its specific size and shape that provide it space for hemoglobin and allow to be flexible and bend to move through narrow vessels.

Thus, the correct answer is : option B. They are small because they lack a nucleus.

If a bowler rolls a bowling ball at a constant speed, would the force increase if he or she changes the weight of the ball? Expl
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

This is what we call Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

If the bowler is rolling a ball, let's say 5 LBS, It should travel at normal speed.

The speed is also dependent on how the bowler throws the ball.

If they were to change the weight of the ball. It would most likely slow the ball down more, as it would be too heavy to go as fast if it was a lightweight ball.

It's like a person. The bigger and heavier they are, the slower they will move with their own consecutive speed. If they are lighter, they'll most likely go faster
