Mitosis and meiosis similarities

Biology
1 answer:
Artist 52 [7]4 years ago
4 0

The alternation of generations in the life cycle of a plant includes the diploid and haploid multicellular stages. diploid and haploid are copies of the chromosomes. The spores in the plant is unicellular and when they start dividing through mitosis, it produces identical cells. These identical cells are all haploid. Haploid stages contain one set of chromosome from either of the parent. These identical cells create a multicellular system called the gametophytes. A gametophyte is the haploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant. The gametophyte makes the gametes. These gametes are responsible for sexual fertilization. It takes place when a sperm (male gametes) from the male fuses into the egg cell (female gametes) of the female. The formation of both male and female gametes creates a diploid zygote. Diploid stages contain one set of chromosome from each parent. This is where the sporophyte comes in. A sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of the plant. It now contains the two sets of chromosomes from each parent.

The type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal chromosome number is the meiosis. Meiosis is the type of cell division used in sexual reproduction. It will occur in the testes and ovaries.

"abnormal enlargement of air sacs in the lungs can lead to which condition"
Wewaii [24]
The correct answer is emphysema.
Emphysema is the enlargement of air sacs in the lungs.
It is a long-term, progressive disease of the lungs that primarily causes shortness of breath. People who have emphysema, their air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) is damaged. Over a period of time, the inner walls of the air sacs weaken and rupture creating larger spaces instead of many small ones. Normally, the lung tissue holds these small airways called bronchioles, open, allowing air to leave the lungs on exhalation. However, when the lung tissue is damaged like in the case of emphysema, these airway collapse, making it difficult for the lungs to empty and the air (gases) becomes trapped in the alveoli thus causing impaired gas exchange.

True statement. Sperm are continuously produced by males, while a female is born with a full supply of eggs.

Characteristics of egg cells and sperm cells.
*Egg cells are usually formed in a female before birth while sperm cells form during puberty.
*Egg cells are produced in the ovary of a female human being while sperm cells are produced in the testicles of a male human being.
*Egg cells are included in the largest cells in a female body while sperm cells are the smallest cells in the male body.
*Only a single egg cell is produced during ones menstruation cycle while millions of sperm cells are released during a single ejaculation.
*Egg cells formed before birth and are active only until female menopause while sperm cells production started during puberty until death of the male body.
