Why are reduction division and haploid gametes important?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

This is in order to maintain the species number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

Reduction division occurs by meiosis and it is very necessary in organisms that reproduce sexually.

Meiosis will take place in the ovary and testis to produce haploid gametes that have half the number of chromosomes compared to the parent cell .

During fertilization the two gametes will fuse to form the offspring an offspring with the same number of chromosomes as the parent. The species number of chromosome has been maintained.

Without meiosis or reduction division the off-springs would have double the chromosomes as the previous generation did.

A client is admitted to the emergency department after a train derailment. the primary health care provider orders staff members
aleksley [76]
I thin the the emergency staff member that should provide the care for the client is the Emergency Medical technicians. 
These are the appropriate staff who would monitor and track vital signs, perform basic wound care, and also ensure spinal immobilization, as these are basic life support interventions. The paramedics are qualified to perform advanced life support measures. The prehospital care providers on the other hand are the first care providers who help in transportation to the emergency department. Lastly the Emergency medicine physicians recicieve specialized expertise and training  in emergency client management.
