The stages of meiosis are classified into two phases. explain why there is in need of two phases

Biology

choli [55]3 years ago

The two phases meiosis is divided into is Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Because Meiosis is not asexual reproduction is uses sexual reproduction by combining the chromosomes of the mother and father. Since each parent give 23 chromosomes to make the whole 46 a human needs, when the chromosomes come together they create tetrads. these are pairs of replicated chromosomes. There are 2 phases because the first phase separates the tetrads leaving the two sister chromatids. During Meiosis II, the sister chromatids are separated like in Mitosis. Overall, the reason that there are two phases is because the maternal and paternal gametes give replicated chromosomes to the zygote.

UNO [17]

Answer:

<u>-blue and red light</u>

Explanation:

Plants produce sugars or carbohydrates during the process of photosynthesis. They absorb light energy from the electromagnetic spectrum with pigments within the thylakoid membrane, like chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b.

Chlorophylls are made of ringed molecules chlorine, a hydrogenated form of porphyrin with a magnesium ion bonded to four atoms of nitrogen. Chlorophyll a shows the most absorption of red light  (642 nm) and blue light (372 nm); while chlorophyll b shows the most absorption at 626 nm and 392 nm.  

Different types of chlorophyll sidechains change the molecules' absorption ranges; A's methyl group is bound at carbon 7,  B's aldehyde (CHO) ring is bound at carbon 7.  Both absorb light from orange-red and violet-blue wavelengths. As such, the best light wavelengths for photosynthesis are within the blue and red wavelengths (425–450 nm) and (600–700 nm).

Alveolar type ________ (VIII) cells are responsible for producing surfactant
lord [1]

Answer:

Type II cells

Explanation:

Type II alveolar cells are the round-shaped or cuboidal epithelial cells. These cells have a free surface with microvilli. The function of the type II alveolar cells is to secrete the alveolar fluid to keep the surface of the cells moist.

A mixture of phospholipids and lipoproteins is present in the alveolar fluid that serves as surfactant and reduces the surface tension of the alveolar fluid. The overall effect of the presence of surfactant in alveolar fluid is to protect the alveoli against collapsing during exhalation.
