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.

Determine the values of m and n when the following average distance from the Sun to the Earth is written in scientific notation:
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

150000000000\ m=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

Explanation:

A number can be written in the form of :

N=m\times 10^n

Where

m is the real number

n is any integer

In this case, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is given,

d = 150000000000 meters

There are 10 zeroes in this number. We need to write this number in scientific notation. It is given by :

d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

So, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A low resistance light bulb and a high resistance light bulb are connected in parallel with each other. Which bulb is brighter i
sweet [91]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The bulb with low resistance will be brighter.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The brightness of a bulb is a function of both the voltage across the bulb and current flowing through the bulb. The higher the voltage, the higher the current. Hence the brighter the bulb.

Now, according to the question, the bulbs (the high resistance bulb and the low resistance bulb) are connected in parallel with each other. This means that the same voltage passes across them.

Also, we know that according to Ohm's law, the voltage (V) and current (I) through a conductor are related by the following equation;

V =  I x R                -------------------(i)

Where;

R is the resistance of the conductor.

We can re-write equation (i) as follows;

I = V / R               -----------------------(ii)

According to equation (ii), at fixed voltage (V), the current (I) will increase as the resistance (R) decreases.

Now, since the two bulbs have the same voltage, the bulb with the low resistance will allow a larger flow of current than the bulb with high resistance.  Therefore, as said earlier that brightness is dependent on voltage and current, the bulb with the low resistance (and having larger current at some voltage) will be brighter than the bulb with the high resistance (having smaller current at same voltage).
