Answer:
Fibrinogen
Explanation:
Fibrinogen is one of the proteins present in the blood plasma. It makes 7% of the plasma proteins. During the process of blood clotting, the active thrombin enzyme serves to convert soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin. These insoluble threads of fibrin form the clot. Both thrombin and fibrinogen are produced in the liver. If fibrinogen is less than 4%, the process of blood clotting will be disturbed due to the production of insufficient threads of fibrin.
1. False. They are similar, though.
meiosis- A kind of cell division involving having the chromosome number. It is responsible for genetic recombination.
Gametogenesis- It's the process when gametes or germ cells are produced in an organism. They undergo meiosis to form gametes.
2. Spermatogenesis- happens in the testes of males. 4 gametes are produced. Spermatogenesis involves a metamorphosis stage called spermiogenesis. Spermatogenesis produces small, motile spermatozoa
Oogenesis- takes place in the ovary in a female. 1 gamete produced. in oogenesis there is no metamorphosis stage. In oogenesis the ovum is spherical, and isn't motile and is bigger with more food reserves and cytoplasm.
3. Because The one egg cell that results from meiosis contains most of the cytoplasm, nutrients, and organelles.
Answer:
The placenta is the temporary association of fetus and maternal tissue. It is meant for nutrition and transport of different substances.
Explanation:
The placenta is a temporary association of fetal and maternal tissues. The placenta is formed from the trophoblast of the blastula. These trophoblasts form chorionic villi which later forms the placenta. The chorion and allantois also take part in the formation of the placenta. Hence, the human placenta is known as the chorioallantoic placenta. The process of formation of the placenta is known as placentation.
The placenta has several functions but the major function is to provide nutrition to the fetus. The developing fetus gets nutrition from the mother's body by the placenta. The placenta provided with blood vessels which help in the transportation of different substances. It also helps in gas exchange between the mother and baby. Thus it plays a vital role in fetal respiration. The metabolic wastes diffuse through the placenta. Placenta also stores fat, glycogen, which participates in protein metabolism.
