Answer:

independent assortment occurs in metaphase I and anaphase I

Explanation:

Independent assortment is the development of haphazard combinations of chromosomes in meiosis and of genes on separate pairs of homologous chromosomes through the passage as stated by the laws of probability i.e  one of each diploid pair of homologous chromosomes pairs into each gamete independently of each other pair. This principle describes and demonstrates how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develops.

Part of the significance of independent assortment is to produce new genetic combinations that increase genetic variations within a population.

To increase the genetic diversity in the offspring.

What second messenger most directly causes calcium ions to be released from intracellular stores?
NemiM [27]

Answer: adenylyl cyclase inositol triphosphate mainly known as IP3 causes the release of Calcium ions directly from the inracellular stores and causea contraction.

Explanation:

IP3, inositol phosphate is a second messenger a signaling molecule. It is made by hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a phospholipid that is located in the plasma membrane, by an enzyme phospholipase C.

IP3 binds to the calcium channels and opens Ca2+ channels that are embedded in the ER membrane, releasing Ca2+ into the cytosol. Calcium ions released may cause contraction and regulate the Ca2+ channels in the membranes.

A phospholipid

a. has both polar and nonpolar regions.

Explanation:

Phospholipids, as amphipathic molecules, consist of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol.  The phosphate group is the negatively-charged hydrophilic (water-loving) polar head, which face outward and are attracted to the intracellular and extracellular fluid.  The fatty acids are the uncharged, hydrophobic (water-fearing) nonpolar tails, which face the inside, away from the water and meet in the inner region of the membrane.
