Synapsis, also called syndesis is the process of pairing between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. The exchange portions of their chromatids enables pairing of homologous chromosomes prior to their segregation and chromosomal crossover. This takes place during prophase I of meiosis and this process is perilous for accurate segregation of the chromosomes.

1. Explain why planarians and flukes are called flatworms.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer and Explanation:

Platyhelminthes are mostly worm like organisms that are dorsoventrally flattened, meaning they look like a leaf and this is why they are coined names like the Tapeworm, Flatworm, Fluke and Planarian.

Compare and contrast the traits of viruses and bacteria. Is a virus considered a living thing? Explain your answer in 3–5 senten
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Bacteria are single-celled organisms that live in different environments, including cold and hot, and they can also live on or inside the human body.

Most types of bacteria are harmless, on the contrary, they help in the process of digesting food, attacking other microbes and fighting cancer cells, and less than 1% of bacteria are bacteria that cause diseases.

As for viruses, they are very small organisms, smaller than bacteria, consisting of DNA and a protein that coat them, and unlike bacteria, a virus does not reproduce without its presence in the cells of living organisms.

A person has too much calcium ion in their blood what gland is most likely working correctly answers
jeka94

The parathyroid glands is group of tiny glands that is located in the neck which controls the calcium levels of the body. This gland produces parathyroid hormone (PTH). This hormone raises the blood calcium level by breaking down the bone causing the release of calcium. It also increases the ability of the body to absorb calcium from the food that we eat and it increases the ability of the kidney to hold on to calcium that would be lost in the urine later on.

The regulation of calcium levels in the body is crucial for the heart, nervous system, kidneys and bones to function normally.

Therefore, the answer is parathyroid glands.
