Summarize the steps of sexual reproduction and explain how it increases genetic diversity

Biology

schepotkina [342]2 years ago

Sexual reproduction occurs through the stages of meiosis. Meiosis itself has two different rounds.

In the first round, the cell grows, copies its chromosomes, and readies itself for division (Interphase). Then, the chromosomes themselves condense and match up perfectly with a partner (specifically called a homologue partner) in Prophase I. These partners trade parts in what is called crossing over. This increases genetic diversity because it creates new combinations of chromosomes with unique alleles. After Prophase I, the chromosomes prepare for splitting (Metaphase I), and the homologues are then separated and moved to different sides of the cell (Anaphase I). Lastly, the chromosomes successfully arrive at the opposite ends, forming two daughter cells (Telophase I and Cytokinesis). This ends the first round of meiosis.

In the second round, the cell skips Interphase, but goes through the rest of the phases, resulting in 4 cells.

Can someone help? Describe the ADP molecule and its function within a cell.
iogann1982 [59]
<span>The function of an ADP, or Adenosine diphosphate molecule, is to assist in the flow of energy throughout the cell. The basic structure of the molecule itself is made up of three main parts - a sugar backbone, which is attached one adenine molecule and two phosphate groups, which is then bonded to a 5' carbon atom of ribose. </span>

If you have just eaten, your body secretes ______ to uptake glucose; if you have not eaten all day, your body secretes ______ to
pav-90 [236]
If you have just eaten, your body will secrete insulin. Insulin is the hormone that allows glucose to enter cells. That way they will have the proper energy for their normal functions.
If you have not eaten for a while, your body is running out of glucose to feed the cells so it needs to secrete another hormone called glucagon. This hormone is the complete opposite of insulin because it breaks down glycogen, proteins and fats into glucose.

Explain the effects of osmosis on cells and tissues:
viva [34]

Answer:

In explanation.

Explanation:

Effect of osmosis on cells:

-Osmosis is the movement of water across a cell membrane. Cells use osmosis to maintain concentration equilibrium (the concentrations of solute inside and outside the cell are equal). Changing the amount of water allows the cells to achieve equilibrium.

Effects of osmosis on tissues:

-Red blood cells placed in a solution with a higher water concentration compared to their contents (eg pure water) will gain water by osmosis, swell up, and burst. Water will diffuse from a higher water concentration outside the cell to a lower water concentration inside the cell.

Hope this helps.

Associations detected between measures of neighborhood environmental conditions and human microbiome diversity.
Musya8 [376]

Associations that were detected between measures of neighborhood environmental conditions and human microbiome diversity is shown below;

  • There was a regular, positive associations that between diversity and NDVI sd in regards to  mouth microbiome.
  • There was a constant, significant, and a negative associations that was said to exist between percent grassland and that of the diversity of the nose microbiome.

<h3>What are the other result?</h3>

Further result from the study of Amber L. Pearson<em> et al.,</em> (2020) reveal that the outcome for the mouth microbiome, she shows that a little effect of percent trees was seen on diversity and Clay loam soil was said to be negatively and positively associated or linked with rectum microbiome diversity, when liken to loam soil.

The study reveals that  no potential indicator taxon among NDVI quartiles was found and further research is needed.
