Record the stages of meiosis in eukaryotic cells realizing that there are two cell divisions involved, each having their particu

lar terms and characteristics. 2. list the key differences between mitosis and meiosis. 3. do prokaryotes have mitosis or meiosis? 4. crossover occurs between homologous pairs of chromosomes, but can it occur between two different chromosomes, say between #1 and #17? 5. was it an evolutionary necessity that meiosis evolved at the same time as sexual reproduction?

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).

Consider the parts of the digestive system, particularly the place where water is removed before feces are excreted. Which organ
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The colon.

Explanation:

The colon, also known as the large intestine is one of the major organs of the digestive system and plays a vital role in the processing of food and excretion of waste. It is divided into the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon.

The colon has a large surface area and plays a major role in the reabsorption of fluids and the processing and formation of waste which it pushes towards the rectum to be expelled.

Diarrhea is a condition which is characterized by frequency of bowel movements and passage of loose and watery stools. It has various causes most of which affects the normal functionality of the colon thereby limiting it's ability to reabsorb water and fluids. Such causes which affect the colon include; Bacterial infections, laxative abuse, diseases of the colon such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease etc.

Not all members of a species are the same. Every species exhibits__. __, like eye color, are passed from parent to offspring.
rodikova [14]

Variations, traits

Not all members of a species are the same. Every species exhibit variations. Traits, like eye color, are passed from parent to offspring.

Genetic variation is the subtle differences in the DNA sequence in each individual’s genomes. Genetic variation results in various forms or alleles of genes that determines distinct traits such as eye color, skin color, shape of face, and hair color that can be passed on from parents to offspring.

Name to types of evidence that scientist used to support the theory of evolution?
Sergio [31]
Evidence of evolution. Scientists support the evidence of evolution because of the adaptations organisms used to have in the past compared to the present. For example, humans have organs in their bodies they don't need, but must have been used in ancient times. They can also find that humans have a common ancestor such as monkeys because of the DNA similarities and many adaptations. Hopefully this answered most of your question.
