Gametes are haploid, while somatic cells are diploid. What is the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell

Biology
1 answer:
SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes while diploid cells have 46 (23 pairs) chromosomes

Explanation: Haploid cells are produced in a type of cell division called meiosis. In meiosis, parent cells undergo two cell divisions to produce four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes in the parent cell. Diploid cells are produced by a type of cell division known as mitosis. In mitosis, parent cells undergo one cell division to produce two identical daughter cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Gametes undergo meiosis while somatic cells undergo mitosis.

Is the claimant very cold in the Northeast region all year long
Vilka [71]
It really depends on where in the north west you are. In and around Maine, it's normally pretty cold; even in the summer (at least where I live) but in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, etc. I'm pretty sure it isn't always cold. In the summer, the thermometer can reach up to 110 degrees, but the temperature can lower all the way down to -45 degrees and possibly lower.

1. True/False: DNA replication is considered "semi-conservative" because only half of the chromosomes are copied during S phase
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

1) The statement is false

2) Option A) deoxyribose, phosphate, and a nitrogenous base

Explanation:

1) In semi-conservative DNA replication:

- a parent double-stranded DNA splits in two.

- Each strand is then read by the enzyme, DNA polymerase, to ensure accurate synthesis of a new daughter strand

- the newly synthesized strand contains nucleotides that are complimentary to free nucleotides present in the parent strand.

Thus, because the parent strand is retained in the newly synthesized DNA, DNA replication is described as semi-conservative

2) DNA consists of several repeating units of polydeoxynucleotides where each is made up of a nitrogenous base (Adenine, thymine, cytosine or guanine) linked to

deoxyribose sugar by an N-glycosidic linkage, and then the sugar linked to a phosphate group by phosphoester bond.

aksik [14]

Answer:

They should all have purple flowers.

Explanation:

This is because plants use the reproduction called mitosis, which means that the child will be a direct copy of the parent.

Hope this helps! :)
