What is parthenogenesis? give an example

Biology
1 answer:
ANEK [815]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It's a form of asexual reproduction!

Development of the offspring happens without fertilization in this type of reproduction.

The two main ways in which parthenogenesis happens is by apomixis or automixis. Through apomixis , the egg cells are produced by mitosis. Through In automixis, egg cells are produced by meiosis.

Mitosis = a part of cell cycle: replicated chromosomes are separated into 2 nuclei

Meiosis = type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half. So now there is four haploid cells that are  genetically distinct from their parent cell.

Example:

An example of an animal that can use this reproduction is a bonnethead shark! Once a shark had a baby in a tank that only had three females!

Stimulation of Ca2+ entry into the neuron

Release of acetylcholine into the synapse

Depolarization of the muscle fiber membrane

Explanation:

The following events takes place in the vertebrate neuromuscular junction

a) Nerve Action Potential - Action potential reaches the axon terminal

b) Entry of calcium ion - The calcium ion reaches the axon terminal and enter into the presynaptic terminus after which the Synaptic vesicles fuse with the membrane of axon terminal

c) Releasing of Arch Quanta - Acetylcholine is released into synaptic cleft which then  binds to the receptor sites on motor end plate

d) The  Na+/K+ channels opens and Motor end plate becomes depolarized.
