Answer:
Explanation:
Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in the sex cells of organisms. It ensures the reduction of a diploid cell to an haploid cell to allow for the formation of a diploid zygote after fertilization (contribution of both parents haploid sex cells to give a diploid zygote). Thus, this process is very essential and important.
The reduction is accomplished by 2 divisions after the duplication of chromosomes
- first division: separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes (this reduces the total in half)
- second division: separation of sister chromatids of a chromosome.
The rearrangement in meiosis occurs by crossing over/genetic recombination.
This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous pairs of chromosome bringing about a rearrangement and genetic variation
An example of a chromosomal abnormality that arises as a result of defects in this process is the Down Syndrome which is caused by a nondisjunction of the chromosomes 21 pair in a sex cell.
This condition produces offsprings that have some characteristic facial features, short stature etc
After two half-lives or 60 years, 7.5 g of the element will be left.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>Half-life:</u>
- In simple words, Half-life can be defined as the amount of time needed for a quantity to fall to half its value as contained at the beginning of the time period.
- In this problem the half-life of the element is thirty years, then after thirty years half of the sample would have decayed and half would be left as it is.
- After thirty years (The first half-life ) 30 /2 = 15 g declines and 15 g remains disappeared.
- And after another sixty years (The two half-lives) 15 /2 = 7.5 g declines and 7.5 g remains disappeared.
- After two half-lives or 60 years, 7.5 g of the element will be left.
Answer: they are specific in action
Explanation: The similarity between cell receptors and antibodies is that both are specific in action. They bind to their specific targets.
These targets can be determined by the shape of the receptor or the antibody. shape of a protein has a profound effect on its functions
