A cell has 2n=8 chromosomes...how many chromosomes will this cell have in anaphase1,anaphase2,metaphase2?(meiosis)

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is 8 (anaphase 1), 8 (anaphase 2), 4 (metaphase 2).

Meiosis is a cell division which results in a reduction of the number of chromosomes in half and it consists of meiosis I and meiosis II.
Before meiosis I begins, the cell is diploid (2n) and there are 8 chromosomes. In anaphase I<span>, the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells, and after that, there are 8 chromosomes and 16 chromatids. After telophase I, there are, however, <u>4 chromosomes that enter meiosis II</u>.
</span>
Meiosis II is similar to mitosis. So, in metaphase II there is the same number of chromosomes - 4 chromosomes. But, the chromosome number must double so in anaphase II there will be in total 8 chromosomes - 4 chromosomes at the one side of the cell and the 4 on the other side. After telophase II, there are 4 chromosomes.

Why does the oxygen atom in a water molecule have a negative charge

rodikova [14]

In water molecule the electrons between the oxygen and the hydrogen are shared, but the sharing is not equal. Oxygen pulls electrons slightly towards itself. Therefore, the electrons are more near the oxygen, making that part of molecule(oxygen part) slightly negative. Since the electrons are not near the hydrogen so, that part of the molecule is slightly positive.

Some people have low levels of calcium circulating in the blood, a condition known as hypocalcemia. while for many this disorder

kap26 [50]

Answer:

low level of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between pre and post synaptic cells.

Explanation:

The calcium has a main role in signal transmission mechanism and here is the mechanism :

1-the impulse reaches the synapse (depolarization which is a voltage change).

2-the voltage gated calcium channels open and let calcium flow into the cell.

3-the calcium causes the synaptic vesicles to rupture and release chemical transmitters which cross the synaptic cleft and finally bind to receptors on the post synaptic cell (transmitting the signal)

so it's obvious that if calcium concentration decreases, the signal transmission also decreases.
