Answer:
Four daughter cells are produced each with 40 chromosomes. The daughter cells would exhibit genetic variations and would not be genetically identical to each other.
Explanation:
Meiosis is a cell division that forms four daughter cells from one parent cell as two sequential division meiosis I and meiosis II do not include any DNA replication between them. Crossing over during prophase-I of meiosis-I includes the exchange of genetic segments and occurs between the homologous chromosomes. It produces new gene combinations in the daughter cells which were otherwise not present in the parent cell.
Since there is no DNA replication between meiosis I and meiosis II, the daughter cells have half the number of the chromosomes compared to the parent cell. This occurs as homologous chromosomes move towards the opposite pole during anaphase I.
Therefore, a parent cell with 80 chromosomes will make a total of 4 daughter cells by meiosis. Each daughter cell would have 40 chromosomes. These daughter cells would have some new gene combinations and would be genetically dissimilar among themselves.
Answer:
(a) X: Producers undergo photosynthesis. Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste.
Explanation:
<em>(a) X: Producers undergo photosynthesis. Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste.
</em>
<em>(b) X: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste. Y: Producers undergo photosynthesis.
</em>
<em>(c) X: Decomposers take in carbon dioxide. Y: Producers absorb carbon through their roots.
</em>
<em>(d)X: Producers absorb carbon through their roots. Y: Decomposers take in carbon dioxide.
</em>
<u>Box 2 (X) would be the process through which producers fix carbon dioxide to produce their own food, the carbohydrate. T</u>he process is otherwise known as photosynthesis and can be represented by the following equation:
<u>Box 4 (Y) would be the process of decomposition.</u> Both producers and consumers eventually die and decompose in the soil. During this process, some of the carbon returns to the soil as organic matters while the process of microbial decomposition releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The correct option would be (a).
The paramecium has two nuclei, a big and small one. The big one operates as the director of the cell's activities, rather like a little brain. The smaller one is used for reproduction. The paramecium splits in half (fission) just as the ameba does. First the smaller nucleus splits in half and each half goes to either end of the paramecium. Then the bigger nucleus splits and the whole paramecium splits. Occasionally two paramecium exchange material and form a new paramecium. This is called conjugation.
<span>Conjugation in Paramecia occurs in the following way: </span>
<span>a). The formation of ciliary contacts. </span>
<span>b). Local loss of cilia and formation of narrow contacts between anterioventral somatic cell membranes </span>
<span>c). Formation of small cytoplasmic bridges (which allow for the exchange of molecular components only). </span>
<span>d). Their enlargement enables the cells to exchange micronuclei. </span>
<span>Bacteria exchange plasmid material and the Paramecia exchange micronuclei.
Good luck to Steve! How is it in Neptune? XD</span>
The features or characteristics of organic compounds include:
1. They contain covalent bonds and are mostly non polar in nature
2. Have lower boiling and melting points than inorganic compounds
3. Many organic compounds are thermally unstable, They decompose into simpler molecules when heated at fairly high temperatures
4. Most organic compounds are inflammable and burn exothermically in sufficient air to yield carbon dioxide, water and heat energy.
5. Most organic compounds being largely non polar are insoluble in water.
