Chromosomes only exist inside gametes true or false

Biology
1 answer:
netineya [11]3 years ago

The male human has a sperm cell and the female has an egg cell. The cells from the male and female that combine to form a zygote are called gametes. The human sperm and egg cells each contain 23 chromosomes. . A combination of gametes forms a zygote with 46 chromosomes. The type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal chromosome number is the meiosis. Meiosis is the type of cell division used in sexual reproduction. It will occur in the testes and ovaries.<span>Chromosomes get shuffled when eggs and sperm are made. Though most adult cells contain two sets of chromosomes, sperm and egg cells are different. These special cells have just one chromosome from each pair. Which chromosome they get from each pair is random, making each sperm or egg cell unique. There is also a bit of mixing before the chromosomes are sorted into individual sperm or egg cells. Chromosomes from each pair in a mother or father, respectively, make contact and exchange pieces of DNA, creating hybrid chromosomes. </span>

How are oxbows and loess similar<br>​
SVEN [57.7K]
Oxbows and loess both show similarity as they both show the constructive power of erosion. An oxbow lake starts as a curve in a river. Oxbows are formed where the river often empties into another water body. ... A loess is a sediment which is formed by the accumulation of the wind blown silt

Assume you are working for a chemical company and are responsible for growing a yeast culture that produces ethanol. the yeasts
Licemer1 [7]
<span>I believe is answer is the temperature is too low. If the main fermentation products will be always ethanol in the yeasts chosen for alcoholic fermentation, since the yeasts are growing well on the maltose, the temperature may be too low which causes poor extraction of color and tannins in red wines and can also cause sluggish fermentations and production of high levels of ethyl acetate.</span>

Given the mRNA sequence below, what would tRNA anticodons be in response? A-U-G-C-C-U-A-C-G-G-G-G-G-C-C-A
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

U-A-C-G-G-A-U-G-C--C-C-C-C-G-G-U

Explanation:

The mRNA (messenger RNA) is produced via the process of TRANSCRIPTION, which is the first stage of gene expression in living cells. The mRNA sequence formed is further read in the ribosomes in a group of three nucleotides called CODONS. This reading is done by another type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA).

The tRNA uses a set of three nucleotide bases that are complementary to that of the mRNA codons called ANTICODON. The anticodons are complementary to the mRNA codon i.e. A on the mRNA sequence will be read and recognized by U on the tRNA anticodon.

Hence, given the mRNA sequence: A-U-G-C-C-U-A-C-G-G-G-G-G-C-C-A, the tRNA anticodons that will read this sequence will be: U-A-C-G-G-A-U-G-C--C-C-C-C-G-G-U
