Answer:

No information can be inferred

Explanation:

Chromosome number provides no reference for establishing any relationship between organisms. The number of chromosome cannot depict whether a living species belong to plant kingdom or animal kingdom. It cannot even depict the evolutionary history of any species. Thus, the organism with lesser chromosome has not necessarily evolved from the species having larger number of chromosome or vice versa.  

Chromosome number can only depict the quantity of genetic material with in an organism and hence no relationship can be established living species only on the basis of chromosome number.

B and D. The xylem and the phloem make up the vascular tissue of plants and transport water, sugar, and other important substances around a plant.

The cells that die are emptied, leaving hollow cell walls with their ends open, thus forming pipe-like structures

Record the stages of meiosis in eukaryotic cells realizing that there are two cell divisions involved, each having their particu
Leya [2.2K]
1.1
Meiosis I
The first meiotic division: diploid → haploid
    Prophase I: Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, homologous chromosomes join and occurs crossing over.
    Metaphase-I: the homologous chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. Spindle fibers from the centrosomes connect to the chromosomes.
    Anaphase -I: Spindle fibers contract and split the homologous chromosomes, moving them to opposite poles of the cell.
    Telophase -I: Chromosomes decondense; cell divides to form two haploid cells.

1.2 Meiosis II
The second division: separates sister chromatids (these chromatids may not be identical due to crossing over in prophase I)

     Prophase II: Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, centrosomes move to opposite poles (perpendicular to before)
    Metaphase-II:  the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. Spindle fibers from the centrosomes connect to the chromosomes (at the centromere)
    Anaphase-II: Spindle fibers contract and split the sister chromatids, and moves them to opposite poles of the cell.
    Telophase-II: Chromosomes decondense,cells divides again to form another 2 haploid daughter cells. Final: 4 new cells.


2. The differences:
Mitosis:
- has 1 division per cycle
- one cell produces 2 new cells
- the genetic information in the mother-cell and the daughter-cells are the same. ( the number of chromosomes is also the same)
- it occurs in somatic cells
Meiosis:
- two divisions per cycle
- one cell when divides produces 4 new cells
- the new cells have different genetic information. mixes the genetic material from the parent cells
- the number of chromosomes of the daughter cells is half of the mother's.

3. Prokaryotic organisms don't divide through mitosis, they use a different process called binary fission. Only eukaryotic organisms, or those whose cells have a defined nuclei, undergo mitosis. Bacteria, for example, are prokaryotic organisms that use binary fission.

4.
 It can't occur. Cross over is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes.  That will result in recombinant chromosomes during sexual reproduction. It can't occur on different chromosomes because they don't code for the same genes.

5. There are a lot of different theories about that, but it's mostly believed that meiosis must evolve before sexual reproduction. That's because The cell replicates their information first and then divides. Plus the cell does that even though it didn't recombine DNA with another organism (sexual reproduction).

(IMPORTANT IN NEED OF HELP!!)
bija089 [108]

Clean or green energy helps in releasing lesser air pollution and lesser carbon dioxide. That contributes in lowing down global warming and subsequent disasters like tsunami because of glacier melting , more unexpected climate changes like unexpected long-period storms, flood, typhoons,  etc.

Hope this would help.
