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.

Daryl learns that millions of years ago, Earth's climate went through a
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Plants that adapted to the cooler conditions would survive and rapidly evolve into a  new species.

Explanation:

<em>The plants will react by evolving through natural selection.</em>

The plant species that do not have the genes to adapt to the rapid change in climate would become extinct while those with adaptive genes will survive, reproduce, and contribute rapidly to the development of future generations.

In other words, natural selection selects for individuals with adaptive genes and ensures that such individuals reproduce more and give rise to future generations with the adaptive gene while individuals that are poorly adapted to the change in climate gradually fade off the population.

Hence, <u>the plants that adapted to the cooler conditions would survive and rapidly evolve into new species</u>.

The movement of molecules against the gradient from low concentration to high concentration using ATP
Bogdan [553]

It is also possible to move substances across membranes against their concentration gradient (from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration). ... If the energy of ATP is directly used to pump molecules against their concentration gradient, the transport is called primary active transport.

Hope this helps

Which of the following statements supports the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A) A mutation in a single gene can result in a defective protein.

Explanation:

This hypothesis states that one gene codes for one protein-enzyme, so consequently, if mutation occurs in that gene, the enzyme will not work properly. This hypothesis was very important for the fundamental discoveries of molecular biology, but it is oversimplified meaning that relationship between genes and proteins is much more complex.
