Organisms that reproduce sexually produce sex cells, or gametes, that carry a single set of chromosomes, the haploid number for the species. In contrast, body, or somatic, cells are the regular cells that form the organism’s tissues and organs. Somatic cells of sexual organisms have the diploid number of chromosomes, one set from each parent. Both cell types undergo mitosis, but only the primary reproductive cells, or gametocytes, also undergo meiosis.

The main similarity between reproductive cells and body cells is that they are both made up of the person's DNA

Body cells are found in every area of your body including your skin, and other organs. Reproductive cells are found in organs making up the reproductive system

Match the following.

lianna [129]

Answer:

The correct match is given below:

Explanation:

A flower containing a pistil, stamen, calyx, and corolla – Complete flower. When a flower consists of essential whorls pistil and stamen and accessory whorls calyx and corolla, the flower is said to be complete.
The collective term for the petals of a flower- Corolla. The corolla is a accessory whorl which consist s of its unit called petal.
It has pistils, but no stamens - Female flower. A flower with only pistil is called unisexual pistillate flower.
A stalk which supports the anther – Filament. A typical stamen consists of an anther, connective and a filament.
A flower that lacks one or more of the following parts: pistil, stamen, calyx, or corolla corolla.—Incomplete flower. A flower which lacks any of the essential or accessory whorl is called incomplete flower.
A flower that has male parts only – Male flower. A flower with only stamen is called unisexual staminate flower.
A spore produced by meiosis – Meiospores. Spores can produced by mitosis or meiosis. If it is produced as a result of mitosis it is said to be mitospores.

Imagine that five hypothetical genes are arranged on a chromosome in the following order: G--H--I--J--K. Which two genes are mos

andrezito [222]

Answer:

G and K

Explanation:

Crossing-over is a genetic phenomenon that occurs in meiosis, specifically, Prophase I. It is when chromosomal segment (genes) are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Crossing-over occurs only to genes that are UNLINKED i.e. genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.

This unlinked genes are said to have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY. Crossing-over allows genes on the same chromosome but far apart from each other, assort independently, which allows alleles to be recombined on the same chromosome. This phenomenon does not occur to genes that are close on the same chromosome as they will be inherited together as a unit.

In this case, G and K are the farthest apart, hence, they will have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY i.e. the likelihood for homologous crossing-over to take place during meiosis.

Compare and contrast transcription and translation

tangare [24]

So first transcription takes place which is a RNA that translates DNA Template. So an example would be DNA has AGCGTCAATCTA this will be translated into UCGCAGUUAGAU

Then this message is send off to become a protein with the MRNA which then comes Translation which is the process of converting UCGCAGUUAGAU into a protein and the way it’s done is by this message going through a ribosome and gets translated by TRNA that brings amino acids together to form codons and create your protein.
