Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

1. The two daughter cells produced in meiosis I would be identical.

2. There would be less genetic variation among gametes.

3. The two sister chromatids of each replicated chromosome would no longer be identical.

4. The daughter cells of meiosis I would be diploid, but the daughter cells of meiosis II would be haploid.

5. Independent assortment of chromosomes would not occur.

6. The four daughter cells produced in meiosis II would all be different

The answer is 2

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having half number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It is the cell division sexually-reproducing organisms undergo to produce gametes. Meiosis is the only cell division in which the process of CROSSING-OVER occurs.

Specifically in the Prophase stage of Meiosis I, equal chromosomal segments are exchanged between homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent). This process is called CROSSING-OVER or recombination. In this process, alleles on non-sister chromatids are exchanged in a way to bring about genetic variation in the resulting gametes i.e. gametes with different combinations of alleles.

If crossing-over does not occur, the gametes will contain the exact alleles that segregated from each parent, hence, genetic variation will be reduced.

Which of the following molecules is synthesized at specific times during the cell cycle and
arsen [322]

Answer:

D. Cyclin

Explanation:

Cyclins drive the events of the cell cycle by partnering with a family of enzymes called the cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks). A lone Cdk is inactive, but the binding of a cyclin activates it, making it a functional enzyme and allowing it to modify target proteins.

5 facts about the reproductive system
svp [43]
<span>After you ovulate, your egg is fertile for between 24 to 48 hours and a man’s sperm can survive in the female body for 48 hours. There have actually even been documented cases of live sperm surviving in the female reproductive system for eight days after intercourse!One breast is always larger than the other. Most of the time, it goes without notice but it is typical for breast size to be slightly mismatched. Some women can be born with two uteruses or two vaginas and have no idea until they notice abnormal menstruation or excessive bleeding. You are born with all the eggs you will ever have in a lifetime which can be anywhere from thousands to millions however, only about 300 to 400 of these eggs will mature and be released for fertilization. <span>You ovaries take turns each month releasing eggs.</span></span>
