How did the view of the solar system change between Ptolemy and Kepler?

1 answer:

8 0

Claudius Ptolemy is known to as a writer, mathematician, astronomer, geographer, astrologer. His hypothesis in regards to the solar system was that he used a mathematical model of the Almagest to represent the universe as a set of spheres. From there he created epicycles to calculate different dimensions in the solar system that he had created. For example, he calculated that the radius of the sun is about 20,000 times that of the earth.

In the other hand, Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer. He believed that based on his religion the sun was the source of movement in the solar system. In addition, he believed that the sun caused a change in motion depending on how close a planet is to the sun.

First-division nondisjunction will only yield gametes with an extra chromosome, whereas second-division nondisjunction will only

statuscvo [17]

False

Explanation:

During the meiosis, the cell is dividing two times and chromosomes are getting replicated. In this process, there can be errors. One of those errors is called nondisjunction.

As a result of the meiosis one, the cell gets divided into two cells and each will carry 23 chromosomes each. At this stage, These chromosomes are connected in the form of sister chromatids. During the meiosis two, these sister chromatids will pull apart and form four cells. Each one will be haploid cells. In meiosis one, chromosomes will undergo crossing over so this separation of chromosomes in the second meiosis is know as disjunction. However, in this process of separation, the chromosomes do not need to get distributed correctly. The errors that happened in this process are known as nondisjunction.

In humans, meiosis will happen and form sperms or eggs( gametes) which are haploid cells and later they combined to form a zygote which is the diploid cell.

Select all that apply. Mutations _____. are random. delete genes from the gene pool. add new genes to the gene pool. are changes

Svetllana [295]

Mutations are random and rare changes in the DNA sequence that can both add or delete genes. (therefore, all of the answers listed above apply)

In genetics, the term mutation represents any change in the DNA sequence of an organism. Mutations can be limited to a change in just a single nucleotide ( Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) or it can include deletions, insertions or translocation of a longer DNA sequence, sometimes even whole genes. Mutations are rare and random events, but there are some places in the genome that are more prone to genetic mutations, called ''hot spots''.
