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.

A space probe lands on a newly discovered planet. A small canister is released from the probe and falls a distance of 3 m in 0.5
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

24m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Distance S = 3m

Time of fall = 0.5sec

Required

Acceleration due to gravity

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

3 = 0+1/2g(0.5)²

3 = 1/2(0.25)g

3 = 0.125g

g = 3/0.125

g = 24

Hence the value for the acceleration of gravity on this new planet is 24m/s²

A vehicle moving with a uniform a acceleration of 2m/s and has a velocity of 4m/s at a certain time .
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1 second later the vehicle's velocity will be:

v(1)= 6\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\

5 seconds later the vehicle's velocity will be:

v(5)=14\,\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the velocity of an object under constant accelerated motion (with acceleration "a"):

v(t)=v_0+a\,t

Therefore, in this case v_0=4\,\,\frac{m}{s}  and a=2\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

so we can estimate the velocity of the vehicle at different times just by replacing the requested "t" in the expression:

v(t)=v_0+a\,t\\v(t)=4+2\,\,t\\v(1)=4+2\,(1) = 6\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\v(5)=4+2\,(5)=14\,\,\frac{m}{s}

What is the change in momentum of a 50-kg rock that falls freely for 3 seconds?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

1470kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the rock = 50kg

Time taken for the free fall  = 3s

Unknown:

Change in momentum = ?

Solution:

The change in momentum will be difference between the ending momentum and finishing momentum.

  Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

       Momentum  = mass x velocity

Initial momentum  = 0, the velocity is 0

Final momentum = mass x final velocity

      let us find the final velocity;

                V = U + gt

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

                 V  = 0 + 9.8x3 = 29.4m/s

So;

 Change in momentum  = 50 x 29,4  = 1470kgm/s
