Why are the cells produced by meiosis considered gametes?

Biology
1 answer:
BigorU [14]4 years ago
5 0
Gametes are cells used to sexual reproduction. they are haploids and that means they have just one set of chromosomes (most of the cells of our body have 2 sets). that kind of cells is produced mainly by meiotic division of the gamete's stem cell (called oogonium or spermatogonium) and that's why meiosis usually leads to the production of gametes. gametes are haploids so that they could combine (egg with sperm cell) and create the whole new organism (adult organism is almost always diploid).

In a certain population of rabbits, the allele for brown fur
Kisachek [45]

The allele frequency for the recessive allele is B. 0.10. Thus, option "B" is correct.

<h3>How, explain your answer?</h3>

The Hardy-Weinburg equation is p + q = 1, or p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1, where p is dominant and q is recessive.

If 10 out of 100 rabbits have white fur, 10% of the rabbits have white fur. Therefore, 90% of the rabbits have brown fur, which can be substituted into the first equation to becoming 0.9 + 0.1 = 1. Now that we know what p and q equal, we can solve the rest of the equation.

0.9^2 = 0.81

0.9 * 0.1 * 2 = 0.18

0.1^2 = 0.01

Therefore, the allele frequency of the recessive allele is 0.1.

Assume a thylakoid is somehow punctured so that the interior of the thylakoid is no longer separated from the stroma. This damag
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The light-dependent reaction of the photosynthesis process takes place in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

The electron transport chain takes place in the thylakoid membrane which leads to the flow of protons out of the membrane producing the disequilibrium in the membrane potential across the membrane. This difference in the membrane potential results in the flow of protons which help in the synthesis of ATP.

If the thylakoid membrane is punctured will disturb the membrane potential across the membrane.  This will lead to the disturbance in the flow of protons into and out of the cell which will affect the synthesis of ATP by ATP synthase enzyme.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
