Answer:

The fusion of two gametes to form a diploid zygote is called SYNGAMY.

Explanation:

During sexual reproduction process, exchange of DNA usually occur and this introduces diversity into the offspring that are produced. One of the ways by which exchange of DNA take place is called syngamy. Syngamy involves the bonding together of two sex cells leading to the formation of cell that has double amount of the chromosomes in the parent cells. The two cells that bond together are called gametes while the diploid cells formed is called zygote.  The major function of syngamy is creation of variation; the genotypes in the formed zygote differ from those of the gametes.

5.A solar nebula forms when the gas and dust are pulled together in a spinning disk. Particles began to clump together due to gravity, and larger chunks of material exert more gravity on nearby dust and gas. These chunks of material grew faster and formed planets or moons. Denser elements such as iron settled closer to the center of the solar nebula.

What is not a contribution of the cardiovascular system to other body systems?
Vinvika [58]

OPTIONS:

a) Blood delivers calcium and phosphate ions that are needed for building bone extracellular matrix.

b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.

c) Blood carries newly absorbed nutrients and water to the liver.

d) Blood circulates cells and chemicals that carry out immune functions.

e) Blood delivers clotting factors and WBCs that aid in hemostasis when skin is damaged

Answer:

b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.

Explanation:

Options a, c, d, e are all true statements about the contributions of the cardiovascular system to other body systems except option b which states that “Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs”.  

Actually, the cardiovascular system works together with the respiratory system to supply oxygen to body tissues as blood is circulated in the body, while carbon dioxide is removed from the body at the lungs. <em>In order words, carbon dioxide is removed, while oxygen is picked up as blood is transported through the capillaries of the lungs. </em>

Which goes where ? Mitosis Vs. Meiosis
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Mitosis, Meiosis, and both are written below

Explanation:

Mitosis: produces more somatic (body) cells, purpose is for healing and growing, the daughter cells are exact replicas

  • This is because mitosis occurs in body cells and is used for growth, so all the daughter cells are the same.

Meiosis: results in sex cells (gametes), results in eggs and sperm, purpose is for creating new individuals (eventually), each daughter cell is different, has 2 separate division stages

  • This is because meiosis occurs in gametes and is used in reproduction.

Both: Chromosomes need to replicate before the whole process begins, a form of reproduction

  • This is because both are reproducing (they are dividing) and DNA must be replicated so each daughter cell has it.
