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.

How is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
professor190 [17]

Answer: 1) Recessive allele is unable to express its effect in the presence of dominant allele WHILE a dominant allele is able to express itself even in the presence of its recessive allele.

2) Recessive allele produces its phenotypic effect only in the presence of a similar allele. E.g; tt is dwarf. WHILE a dominant allele does not require another similar allele to produce its effect on the phenotype. E.g; Tt is tall.

3) Recessive allele forms a defective polypeptide or enzyme so that the expression consists of absence of the effect of dominant allele. E.g; white flower colour in Pea. WHILE a dominant allele can form a complete polypeptide or enzyme for expressing its effects. E.g; red colour of flower in Pea.

Feather color in budgies is determined by two different genes, Y for pigment on the outside of the feather, and B for pigment on
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The two blue budgies are most likely to be yyBb each

Explanation:

there are 3 different scenarios possible for crossing blue budgies:

1) yyBB crossed with yyBB

this is not possible because it does not allow for the genotype yybb (white budgies)

2) yyBB crossed with yyBb

again, this cross will not yield the genotype yybb required for white budgies as given in the problem statement

3) yyBb crossed with yyBb

which leaves us with this option being most likely the genotype of the parent budgies who will have white budgies as offspring

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

What is one way that matter moves from<br> the geosphere to the hydrosphere?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Water in the geosphere can be discharged into surface water, becoming part of the hydrosphere once again, or it could be drawn up into the roots of a plant and become part of the biosphere. Water in the biosphere can be released into the atmosphere through transpiration in plants, or respiration in animals.
