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, 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, 4 chromosomes that enter meiosis II.

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.

What happens in the thylakoid

horsena [70]

Answer:

Reactions performed in the thylakoid include water photolysis, the electron transport chain, and ATP synthesis. Photosynthetic pigments (e.g., chlorophyll) are embedded into the thylakoid membrane, making it the site of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis.

Muromonab-cd3 can activate T cells to release cytokines within the body. This excess of cytokines is likely what is producing these symptoms in the client. The client should start taking some type of glucocorticoid, as well as acetaminophen and diphenhydramine to reduce global inflammation and counteract the effects of the Muromonab-cd3.

Which of the following represents an important outcome of looping?

frutty [35]

Answer:

a. establishment of left-right asymmetry

Explanation:

Cardiac looping is the process in which the heart transforms itself from a straight embryonic heart into a loop that is wounded helically.
The looping of the heart takes place on the 23rd day of development.
As a result of this looping, there is bending of the cranial portion of the heart to the towards the right end and the caudal portion of the heart towards the left end.
At the end of this looping the atrium takes up a dorsal and cranial position and the ventricle is displaced towards left.
Thus, the outcome of looping is the establishment of left-right asymmetry.
