Answer:

C. A haploid cell produced by meiosis

Explanation:

The reason being is that meiosis takes diploid cells and splits them in half again giving it half of the organism's DNA so then when it mates it joins the other gamete to give the zygote a complete set of DNA.

Meiosis reduces chromosome number and rearranges genetic information. Explain how the reduction and rearrangement are accomplish
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in the sex cells of organisms. It ensures the reduction of a diploid cell to an haploid cell to allow for the formation of a diploid zygote after fertilization (contribution of both parents haploid sex cells to give a diploid zygote). Thus, this process is very essential and important.

The reduction is accomplished by 2 divisions after the duplication of chromosomes

- first division: separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes (this reduces the total in half)

- second division: separation of sister chromatids of a chromosome.

The rearrangement in meiosis occurs by crossing over/genetic recombination.

This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous pairs of chromosome bringing about a rearrangement and genetic variation

An example of a chromosomal abnormality that arises as a result of defects in this process is the Down Syndrome which is caused by a nondisjunction of the chromosomes 21 pair in a sex cell.

This condition produces offsprings that have some characteristic facial features, short stature etc

Describe relationship between observation and scientific theory
SOVA2 [1]
37. Observation and scientific theory are both related. Because it needs hypothesis and experiment to be able to have an actual data to show. For example: If you want to know how a monggo seeds grow on a wet cotton. Then you should be preparing the needed things and perform the experiment. You need to observe to be able to get the scientific theory of how this experiment works. That’s how observation and scientific theory is related. They will always be together in science.
