Answer:

1. Maintain the chromosome number of a species over generations.

2: Impart genetic variations that serve as raw material for evolution.

Explanation:

Meiosis forms haploid gametes in sexually reproducing organisms which in turn fuse to form diploid zygote. Without meiosis, the number of chromosomes would have doubled with each round of reproduction. Crossing over during meiosis generates new gene combinations which may confer survival advantage to the species. The genetic variations also serve as raw material for evolution.

Zara had a birthday and was able to choose a pet. The pet that she chose was a beautiful clownfish named Bozo, a common salt wat
White raven [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The advice I would give  to Zara would be that she should keep Bozo in a separate tank with common salt water away from the goldfish. Bozo is a salt water fish while the goldfish can only survive in freshwater.</em>

If Bozo is kept in a saltless water/freshwater tank with the goldfish, the water would be hypotonic to Bozo. Consequently, water will osmotically diffuse into the cells of Bozo, the cells would become turgid and lyse, and this would lead to the death of the fish.

If the goldfish is kept in the same salt water tank with Bozo, the salt water would be hypertonic to the goldfish. Consequently, water will osmotically diffuse out of the cells of the goldfish into the surrounding salt water, the cells of the goldfish would become flaccid, and this would lead to the death of the fish.

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a. false

b. true

c. true

Explanation:

NORs (Nucleolus organizer regions) are chromosome regions in which ribosomal genes are encoded, while nucleoli (singular = nucleolus) are nuclear territories where ribosomes are produced and assembled. A nucleolus may contain one or more NORs.

Nucleoli are composed of DNA, RNA and proteins arranged around NORs.

The transference RNA (tRNA) genes are known to be spatially associated with the nucleolus as happen, for example, in <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>.
