Which description distinguishes the process of meiosis from mitosis?

Biology
1 answer:
Nitella [24]4 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.

A client with severe burns and injuries from a bomb blast is admitted in the emergency unit. which triaging priority is preferab
mafiozo [28]
The patient should be triaged in "critical", color coded as red. This is because a bomb blast can lead to multiple gross organ damages such as fractures (pelvic fractures most commonly produce the greatest amount of internal hemorrhage which can lead to shock), liver and spleen rupture that can cause hemorrhagic shock, and burns that can predispose the patient to fluid lose and electrolyte imbalance which then, if untreated, will lead to kidney and cardiac compromise. 

Other triaging priorities for other patients include urgent and non-urgent cases.

a purple flower with an unknown genotype is crossed with a white flower how do you determine the genotype if hte purple flower i
andriy [413]
You have already worked out that the white flower must have genotype pp (two recessive white alleles) and that the purple flower could be homozygous (PP) or heterozygous (Pp). 

<span>Now you need to draw Punnet squares for both possibilities and show that the way to determine the genotype is the proportion of purple offspring. If the genotype is PP, then all the progeny will inherit one P and one p, making 100% purple flowers. If the purple flower is Pp, then half will inherit P and half will inherit p, making for half white and half purple flowers in the next generation.</span>
