Answer:
Egg and sperm cells have to have half the number of chromosomes as in body cells so when they combine to form a zygote, the zygote is diploid and has the correct number of chromosomes. This explanation describes why meiosis produces haploid cells.
Explanation:
Meiosis is a type of cell division in which four haploid cells are produced from a diploid parent cell having two copies of each chromosome, where the number of chromosomes in the parent cell is reduced to half by undergoing DNA replication and nuclear division. Diploid cell contains two copies of each chromosome, one inherited from mother and the other from father while haploid cell contains only one copy of each chromosome. Examples of diploid cells (somatic cells) are skin, blood, muscle cells etc. Eggs or ovum (female gametes) and sperm (male gametes) are haploid reproductive cells. If the total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is represented as '2n', then the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell is 'n'. During the fertilization process in an organism, the correct number of chromosomes is restored when the haploid male and female gamete combined to form a single diploid zygote, which is the first developmental stage of an organism.
a. What is a star's spectrum?
A star's spectrum refers to the <em>"amount of light"</em> that stars they give off according to varying wavelengths. Since we cannot tell the amount of light a star gives off quantitatively from Earth, we can differentiate them according to how bright they appear.
b. Which spectrum is most common in stars?
Stars are classified according to their spectra <em>(elements in the star)</em>. They are classified into 7 types <em>(O, B, A, F, G, K and O). </em>The most common type is M, however, it gives off a dim light.
c. How can it differ from start to star?
Although stars follow a continuous spectrum, the spectra of a star differs from each other because <u>they do not give off the same amount of energy at the different wavelengths. </u>
d. What does the spectrum tell us about the star?
The spectrum can tell the<em> surface temperature</em> of the star. This means that a blue star (we often see it as a white-colored star from Earth) is hotter than that of a yellow star. A red star is considered the coolest star among all.
The spectrum of stars also allows the astronomers to study composition of the stars according to their <em>wavelengths.</em>
Answer: Each indivdual has there own genes so the each will have different traits.
