Which description distinguishes the process of meiosis from mitosis?

Biology
1 answer:
Nitella [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Unlike mitotic cells, meiotic cells undergo two divisions to produce haploid cells, allowing for genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms.

Explanation:

Both meiosis and mitosis are types of cell division. However, unlike mitosis that occur at one division only and yield two daughter cells with diploid number; meiosis involves two division steps:

- Meiosis I

where the parent cell is halved in chromosome number, and genetic materials are mixed between chromatids

-Meiosis II

where the two daughter cells generated in meiosis I is further divided into four haploid cells.

The lock-and-key mechanism refers to
Zinaida [17]
The Lock-and-key mechanism was first proposed by Emil Fischer which described as the enzymatic reactions whereby an enzyme with a single substrate binds temporarily to form a substrate complex. 
The lock-and-key mechanism is usually associated with the complementary shapes of an enzyme with a single substrate, wherein the lock  that is being referred to is the enzyme and the substrate is the key. One right sized substrate (key) fits into the active site (key hole) of the enzyme (lock).
The active site which is mentioned above is structurally complementary to the substrate. This is the temporary binding site on the enzymes. Just like a lock and key, the enzyme as the lock and the substrate as the key is said to fit together.
