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.

Define and describe the following terms: amplitude, wavelength, frequency, period, tension.
maw [93]

Answer:

Amplitude—distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave

Frequency—number of waves passing by a specific point per second

Period—time it takes for one wave cycle to complete

wavelength λ - the distance between adjacent identical parts of a wave, parallel to the direction of propagation.

Tension - described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

a = 1.152s

b = 0.817 m

c = 7.29m/s

Explanation: let the following

From the first equation of linear motion

V = u+at..........1

parameters be represented as :

t = Time taken

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

s = Displacement

V = 0

Substitute the values into equation 1

0 = 4-9.8(t)

-4 = -9.8t

t = 4/9.8

t = 0.408s

From : s = ut+1/2at^2.........2

S = 4×0.408+0.5(-9.8)×0.408^2

S= 1.632-4.9(0.166)

S = 1.632-0.815

S = 0.817m

Her highest height above the board is 0.817 m

Total height she would fall is 0.817+1.90 = 2.717 m

From equation 2

s = ut+1/2at^2

2.717 m = 0t+0.5(9.8)t^2

2.717 m = 0+4.9t^2

2.717 m = 4.9t^2

2.717/4.9 = t^2

0.554 =t^2

t =√0.554

t = 0.744s

Hence, her feet were in the air for 0.744+0.408seconds

= 1.152s

Also recall from equation 1

V= u+at

V = 0+9.8(0.744)

V = 7.29m/s

Hence, the velocity when she hits the water is 7.29m/s

Finally,

a = 1.152s

b = 0.817 m

c = 7.29m/s
