Answer:

The correct statements are:

  • maintains chromosome number throughout generations
  • causes genetic recombination
  • causes genetic variation

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which one cell divides to form four daughter cells, each carrying exactly half the chromosomal number of the parent cell.

It is mainly used in the formation of gametes in organisms which reproduce sexually.

The fusion of gametes restores the original chromosome number. Thus, it helps in maintaining the chromosome number throughout generations. In absence of meiosis, the chromosome number would have doubled after each fertilization event or after each generation.

In addition, events like random segregation of chromosomes and crossing over cause genetic recombination as well as genetic variation.

Meiosis is the process of cell division by which involving gametes. Cell division is just the same for sperm and egg cells, but they have distinguishable descriptions and labels in the process. Spermatogenesis is for the males’ sperm cells and oogenesis is the process for females’ egg cells. The cell division of meiosis involves the two phases, respectively meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I like mitosis is the cell division that produces diploid cells<span>. These diploid cells are cells that contain a complete pair of chromosomes which is 46. The result is two diploid cells after the first meiosis. To provide clear explanation, in contrast haploid cells only contain 23 chromosomes and are created after meiosis II which is 4 in number. </span>

What is the difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?
Bas_tet [7]
Dominant- determines the dominant character, more frequently found in the population, produces the complete polypeptide, does not require the presence of a similar gene, more likely to be inherited, more prone to produce diseases

recessive- responsible for the recessive character, expresses the recessive trait, produces an incomplete polypeptide, requires the presence of a similar gene, less likely to be inherited, less prone to produce disease

What are the two supporting evidence of seafloor spreading theory?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: Several types of evidence supported Hess's theory of sea-floor spreading: eruptions of molten material, magnetic stripes in the rock of the ocean floor, and the ages of the rocks themselves. This evidence led scientists to look again at Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift.

A new microorganism has been isolated from hot springs in Yellowstone National Park. It consists of single cells, which appear t
horsena [70]

Answer:

Bacteria

Explanation:

Bacteria are a group of single celled organisms that are neither plants or animals.

Bacteria lack cell organelles such as the nucleus and the chlorophyll.

They can be found in many environments and most of them are adapted to survive in extreme environments such as hot-springs where the temperatures are extremely high.

Unlike the plant cell wall, bacterial cell wall has a layer of peptidoglucan which determines their shape. Their cytoplasm contains both DNA and RNA.

Explain how moving water can cause erosion. PLEASE HELP!!
mart [117]
Rainfall can cause erosion both when the rain hits the surface of the Earth, called splash erosion, and when raindrops accumulate and flow like small streams. Rivers can create a significant amount of erosion over time. They break up particles along the river bottom and carry them downstream. One example of river erosion is the Grand Canyon which was formed by the Colorado River. Ocean waves can cause the coastline to erode. The shear energy and force of the waves causes pieces of rock and coastline to break off changing the coastline over time. Large floods can cause erosion to happen very quickly acting like powerful rivers.

What is an enzyme? Describe using the words enzyme, catalyst, substarte, and active site.
fgiga [73]
An enzyme is a catalyst which means it changes the speed at which a chemical reaction occurs. It never alters the reaction in any way or changes nay chemical properties, only the speed at which it occurs and is completely absorbed in the meantime. The substrates that are reacting just have their reaction faster.
