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.

The question is incomplete as it lacks the question and has only information regarding the question. however, the correct question is as follows :

How many different genes are contributing to the wingless phenotypes in these mutant fly strains?

Answer:

The correct answer is - Two genes.

Explanation:

In the given question there are two mutation groups based on the given seven results:

1st group :

Mutations 1, complement with 2,4, and 7 and also complement each other, thus, are on the same gene.

2nd group:

Mutations 3, 5, and 6 did not complement each other but complemented with mutations 1, 2, 4, and 7. Thus, these three mutations are present together on a different gene.

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Mitosis is the cell division in which a single is divided into the two daughter cells. The genetic constituent remain same in this type of division and known as equational division.

Four phases of mitosis are metaphase, prophase, anaphase and telophase. Prophase is the first stage in which the nuclear envelope disintegrates. The cohesion joins the sister chromatid together. In metaphase stage the chromosomes gets arranged at the metaphase plate and microtubules are attached to the kinetochores. The cohesin break downs and the sister chromatid moves towards the opposite poles at the anaphase stage. The telophase stage results in the formation o the nuclear envelope and spindle microtubules disassemble at this stage.

The statement that for each force their is an equal and opposite force refers to which law?

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The laws of physics.

Explanation:

Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

How does physical weathering affect plants and animals?

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer

__________________________________________________________

According to EarthEclipse, Plant and animals have a significant effect on the rocks as they penetrate or burrow into the soil respectively. Biological weathering can work hand in hand with physical weathering by weakening rock or exposing it to the forces of physical or chemical weathering. For instance, some plants and trees grow within the fractures in the rock formation.
