The correct answer is C. Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces 4 genetically unique haploid cells.

Mitosis is where a parent cell duplicates its genetic information before dividing into 2, therefore, the daughter cells from mitosis are completely identical to their parent cell and the other daughter cell, and we call the cells which has complete genetic information as diploid. Mitosis is very useful in repairing, growth, asexual reproduction etc.

Meanwhile, meiosis involves 2 times of division. The parent cell first duplicates its genetic information, but then swapping them, and divide. 2 new cells are produced. Then these 2 cells are further divided but without duplicating the genetic material. Therefore, this results in 4 genetically different cells. We call them haploid, as they only have half of the chromosomes from their parent, which is the opposite of diploid. Meiosis is important in producing sex cells.

For some Gram-negative bacterial infections, antibiotic treatment can cause a more severe reaction than that caused by the base
Anni [7]

Answer:

Polymyxin because, it inserts into the cell membrane and disrupts homeostasis.

Explanation:

Antimicrobial effect reacts with the cell membrane of the gram negative bacteria and causes disruption in their cell membrane by creating pores.

The cell membrane of bacteria release endotoxin for creating defense mechanism.

But the effect of certain antimicrobial peptide disrupt the effect of membrane by releasing electrostatic interaction and creates membrane pores.

The interaction between the microbial peptide and the cell membrane causes disruption of the cell.

Thus polymyxin is used to treat against the gram negative bacteria as they breaks the cell membrane of the bacteria.

Why don't people's cells starve from lack of glucose while they are fasting​
GenaCL600 [577]
Answer:


Fasting can definitely raise blood glucose. This is due to the effect of insulin falling and the rising counter-regulatory hormones including increased sympathetic tone, noradrenaline, cortisol and growth hormone, in addition to glucagon. These all have the effect of pushing glucose from liver storage into the blood. This is normal. If you are not eating, you want to use some stored glucose. The question is this – if you are not eating, and your blood glucose went up, where did that glucose come from? It can only have come from your own body (liver). So, it’s a natural phenomenon, and the fasting now allows your body to use some of the glucose for energy.
