At which point does the cell transform from diploid to haploid during meiosis? Explain in

Biology

Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

During Meiosis I the cell transform from diploid cell to haploid and ends after Telephase I.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The one and only purpose of Meiosis is to produce gametes-sex cells or sperm and eggs in the human body. The objective is to make daughter cells with precisely half the same number of chromosomes as the starting cell. In humans, meiosis is a cycle of division that .allows cell transformation from a diploid cell (one with two sets of chromosomes) to haploid cells (one with one set of chromosomes).

Their is a two-step division cycle in meiosis. During the first round of cell division, homologue pairs divide, called meiosis I. During a second round, sister chromatids split, called meiosis II. As the cell division during meiosis occurs twice, one starting cell can produce four gametes (eggs or sperm). Cells pass through 4 stages in each round of division like prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The cycle can be understood as follows:

<u>Meiosis I: </u> Before entering meiosis I, a cell must under go an interphase. The meiosis-I involve prophase-I , metaphase-I , anaphase-I  and telophase-I. The starting cell is diploid (2n=4)

  • during prophase-I homologous chromosomes pair-up and exchange fragments called as "crossing over".
  • during metaphase-I homologue pairs line up at the metaphase plate.
  • during anaphase-I homologues separate to opposite ends of the cells and then sister chromatids stay together.
  • during telophase-I the chromosomes reach at opposite poles of the cell and result each chromosome has two sister chromatides, non identical in nature.
  • Finally the newly forming cells are "haploid" i.e n=2.

Active transport and facilitied diffusion relation
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Both facilitated diffusion and active transport are selective processes. Only selective molecules are allowed to cross the membrane. They utilize carrier proteins to move across the membrane.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the process by which molecules move across a membrane respective of the concentration gradient. The plasma membrane is a <em>selectively permeable membrane</em> which allows specific molecules to move across the concentration gradient.  

Molecules migrate from a region of higher concentration to a lower concentration in case of diffusion. It can be classified into simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. These are examples of <em>passive transport</em>.

In facilitated diffusion molecules move across the concentration gradient with the help of <em>carrier proteins or channel proteins</em>. The carrier proteins bind to the molecule which has to be transported and change conformation to allow it to cross the membrane. For example glucose molecule is carried across through <em>GLUT transporter</em>. <em>Channel proteins</em> open a channel inside the membrane and molecules get transported across the gradient.

Active transport carries molecules against the concentration gradient with the assist of energy. ATP hydrolysis is utilized to generate energy. As a result of active transport, the molecules are aggregated on one side of the membrane.
