How many new cells are produced from each parent cell during meiosis?

Biology
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
6 0
The answer is 4 new (daughter) cells.

In meiosis, it produces 4 daughter cells which are genetically different from both the parent and the other daughter cells.
the parent cell first duplicates its chromosomes, just like mitosis (the kind of division that leads to 2 genetically identical daughter cells) . Then it divides, leading to 2 genetically identical daughter cells. But this does not end here. The 2 daughter cells further divides into total of 4 daughter cells, but without duplicating the DNA. That's why, the daughter cells has different DNA materials.
These daughter cells has half of the parents chromosomes, and we call them haploid.

Haploid cells are usually common in gametes. When an organism reproduces sexually, 2 gametes fuse together and leads to diversity.

The scientific name of the sugar maple is Acer saccharum. What does each part of the name designate?
irinina [24]

Answer:Acer represents the genus name while

saccharum represents the species.

Explanation:

In a way to classify organisms, biologists used certain important common features to structure them into groups. The arrangement of living organisms in this hierarchy from the highest level to the lowest is as follows:

Kingdom--> phylum-->class-->order--> Family-->genus--> species.

The largest group of organisms is kingdom while species is the smallest unit of classification.

The common name of the plant used in the question above is sugar maple. Biologist, however, use a standard system to name living organisms. Each kind of organism is given two names, hence the term BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE.

--> The first name is the name of the genus to which the organism belongs.

--> The second name is the name of the species to which it belongs.

Both names are printed in italics with only the genus name having an initial capital letter. Hence, the scientific name of sugar maple is Acer saccharum( in italics).

Two interactions within an ecosystem are predation and parasitism. In predation, predator organisms feed on prey organisms. In p
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:Predator-prey relations refer to the interactions between two species where one species is the hunted food source for the other. The organism that feeds is called the predator and the organism that is fed upon is the prey. There are literally hundreds of examples of predator-prey relations.

Why do you think it is important to take an average resting heart rate versus relying on one value alone? what are some factors
Marina CMI [18]
2) One value might be distorted; for example it is usual that a heard rate right after sitting down can be higher than the rest rate. Other factors that might affect this is the rate of breathing, exercise. We also have that some bleeding can affect this. Finally, the point that you use to measure the heart rate can also be important in making correct measurements.
1)Taking multiple heart rates leads to more reliable results because you can use the mean and not a single value that might be far off it. You avoid thus the effects of the factors above that happen often enough so that we would appear to be ill many times when we are perfectly healthy; In scientific terms, there is some variance in measurements and that is fine.
3) Even if their resting heart rates are the same, they can react differently to stress. One reason is having low iron in your blood; it is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood and thus it is esssential when one does gymnastics. A person with low iron will have a higher pulse to accomodate his cells' needs for oxygen. The same applies to persons with breathing problems or different fitness (even if the resting heart rate is the same). Also, there could be the case that genetically one has less mitochondria and this also affects oxygen and blood needs in exercise.
4) The average rate for adults is 60-100 beats per minute. While this is not abnormal, it is rather high. An examination might be advised to see what leads to such a high bpm rate. If this yields nothing, it could be that due to age and physics reasons this is normal.

The growth of a plant in size is regulated by a plant hormone. explain​
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Abscisic acid

This growth inhibitor is synthesized within the stem, leaves, fruits, and seeds of the plant. Mostly, abscisic acid serves as an antagonist to Gibberellic acid. It is also known as the stress hormone as it helps by increasing the plant-tolerance to various types of stress.
