Why are reduction division and haploid gametes important?

Biology
1 answer:
prisoha [69]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

This is in order to maintain the species number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

Reduction division occurs by meiosis and it is very necessary in organisms that reproduce sexually.

Meiosis will take place in the ovary and testis to produce haploid gametes that have half the number of chromosomes compared to the parent cell .

During fertilization the two gametes will fuse to form the offspring an offspring with the same number of chromosomes as the parent. The species number of chromosome has been maintained.

Without meiosis or reduction division the off-springs would have double the chromosomes as the previous generation did.

What are the photosynthesis and respiration reactions? (i need a short answer)
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Reactions to respiration is -Cellular respiration is the chemical reaction in which glucose and oxygen are turned into water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP). In this reaction, glucose and oxygen are reactants, while water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP) are products.The  reaction to photosynthesis is -process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.
