Yes. During meiosis Diploid (2n) mother cell produces fou haploid(n) daughter cell.

Explanation:

  • Meiosis is also known as Reduction division.
  • It is type of cell division by which a diploid mother cell produces haploid daughter cell.
  • It is termed as reduction division because the number of chromosomes are reduced to half in daughter cell.
  • Meiosis occurs only in sex cells to produce gametes.
  • Significance of meiosis lie in the fact that it reduces the number of  chromosome into half and thus helps to maintain the chromosomal number of the species in the zygote after fertilisation .
  • Meiosis has two steps : Meiosis I and Meiosis II. There is a time gap between two steps, called interkinesis.
  • Meiosis I involves replication , crossing over etc.
  • Meiosis II is similar to mitosis however, no DNA replication occurs prior to meiosis II and the DNA content is thus halved in Daughter cell.

Acetylcholine receptors on skeletal muscles are described as being ionotropic receptors because
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

they are Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ion channels.

Explanation:

Ionotropic acetylcholine receptors are also called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors because beside acetylcholine (Ch) they respond to nicotine. These receptors are  primary receptors in muscle for motor nerve-muscle communication that controls muscle contraction.

Two molecules of ACh are required for receptor to open. Since the receptors are  linked to ion channels, the channels open. Opening of the channel allows positively charged ions to move across it: sodium enters the cell and potassium exits.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

d) They would bind glucocorticoids, and initiate estrogen-dependent synthesis

Explanation:

Both Glucocorticoids and estrogens Hormones have important but distinct physiologic functions. These two hormones belongs to the two classes of steroid hormones. Both of these hormones binds to their specific receptors.

DNA binding domain is the domain that after activation by external factors such as hormones express the specific proteins by binding to specific region of the DNA.

As DNA binding domain of a glucocorticoid receptor is altered with DNA binding domain of estrogen receptor so it means binding site of the glucocorticoid hormone for glucocorticoid receptor remains the same and binds to glucocorticoids but on binding it activates the estrogen DNA binding domain which further binds to specific region in the DNA which initiates estrogen dependent synthesis.
