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!

(read about that on wikipedia)

​If Clark had no ions in his nervous system, ____. ​his action potentials would be faster ​his action potentials would be slower
telo118 [61]

Answer:

If Clark had no ions in his nervous system, he would not be able to generate an action potentials.

Explanation:

An action potential occurs when a stimulus causes sodium channels to open in a neuron. Sodium floods in, making the inside of the cell more negative and the outside more positive. This is known as depolarization. Then, the Potassium channels open to allow Potassium out (Repolarization). A few too many K+ ions will leave the cell (Hyperpolarization), and finally, the Sodium-Potassium pump will bring the cell back to resting potential.

As you can see, the Sodium and Potassium ions are <em>essential</em> to action potentials in the nervous system. If Clark had no ions in his system, he would not be able to send any action potentials at all.
