contrast the chromosome number in gametes and zygotes in sexual reproduction into your answer in the space provided

Biology
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Chromosome number in gametes- haploid (n)

Chromosome number in zygote- diploid (2n)

Explanation:

Sexually-reproducing organisms make use of gametes to reproduce. The gametes are produced via the process of meiosis, which is a cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) that have their chromosomal number reduced by half. A diploid (2n) organism i.e. possess two set of chromosomes undergoes meiosis to produce haploid (n) gametes i.e. contains one set of chromosomes. The male parent produces haploid sperm while the female parent produces haploid egg.

During reproduction, these haploid gametes (sperm and egg) combine in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a diploid ZYGOTE. The diploid zygote then divides and grows into the full organism. Hence, since a zygote is formed by the fusion of two haploid gametes (sperm and egg), it contains a diploid chromosome number i.e. sperm (n) + egg (n) = zygote (2n)

Suppose you plant a seed and observe that a tree of large mass grows from it.The tree achieves a final mass that changes very li
Nadya [2.5K]

The answer should be

B Both anabolic and catabolic reactions took place in the seed and tree when it was young and growing and both continue now even though the tree reached a stable mass.


The trees should be capable to do both anabolic and catabolic reaction when it is seed or when it is already a big tree. Anabolic reaction happens when the plant making bigger molecule from many smaller molecule, such as in photosynthesis. Anabolic reaction could increase the mass of the plants or be used to make food. Catabolism reaction used to extract energy from the food.
