In this case of trisomy 18, how many chromosomes would have been present in the first polar body?

Biology

lora16 [44]3 years ago
3 0
Polar bodies serve to eliminate one half of the diploid chromosome set in meiotic division in the egg, leaving behind a haploid cell. That means that 23 pairs (46) of chromosomes are going to be separated equally, 23 for the polar body and 23 for the egg cell. In case of trisomy 18, the division is not equal. Instead, the egg cell receives 23 +1 chromosomes and the polar body receives 23 - 1= 22 chromosomes.

That chromosome that was misplaced is the chromosome 18.

How many years would it take the Atlantic Ocean to grow 500 centimeters? Show your work.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

250 years

Explanation:

The Atlantic Ocean is not static, but instead it is very active, and it is actually spreading from its central part. In its central part, this ocean has a mid-ocean ridge. This basically means that there is constant formation of new crust from the magma that comes out, and the old crust is pushed sideways as the new one is formed. On an annual level, the mid-ocean ridge is spreading out by an estimated 0.02 meters, thus that is how much the Atlantic Ocean is spreading out each year. In order to get to the result as to how many years are needed for the Atlantic Ocean to spread 500 cm, we just need to multiply the annual spreading with the number of cm in question:

0.02 x 500 =250

Thus we get a result of 250, meaning that in 250 years the Atlantic Ocean will spread out 500 cm in total.

How would exercising, sleeping well, eating healthy foods, and receiving recommended vaccines affect a person's immunity?
VladimirAG [237]

D. The body will be able to produce the antibodies and memory cells needed to fight disease and recover quickly.  Exercise and vitamin C is what creates antibodies and white blood cells that fight diseases. Plus exercise can clear the lungs of any dangerous germs that can cause illness like a cold or flu. And sleeping well and resting would remove any kind of stress one would receive from exercising.
