Answer:

creates the necessary male and female gametes

creates gametes with one set of chromosomes

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division employed by sexually-reproducing organisms. It produces four genetically different daughter cells that have their chromosome number reduced by half i.e. from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). Meiosis is the process whereby organisms produce their necessary gametes needed for sexual reproduction.

Male organism produces haploid male gametes(n) while female organisms produce haploid female gametes (n). These gametes contain one set of chromosome (haploid) because they have to unite in a process called FERTILIZATION. When they do, they form a diloid zygote (2n), which has the same number of chromosomes as each parent cell. That is n+n= 2n.

In the context of energy transfers with hot and cold reservoirs, the sign convention is that _______________.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

B. QC > 0; QH < 0

Explanation:

Given that there are two reservoir of energy.

Sign convention for heat and work :

1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.

From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

Q_H

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

Q_C>0

That is why the answer will be

Q_H ,Q_C>0
