12 chromosomes. A gamate has half the amount of genetic information.
Answer:
Asexual reproduction is through the formation of asexual spores. They are produced by one parent only and are genetically identical to that parent (Mitosis).
Sexual reproduction in the fungi has three stages plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis.
Explanation:
AR: Spores may be dispersed by moving water, wind, or other organisms. The spores far from the parent organism. This helps to ensure that the offspring will not have to compete with the parent for space or other resources.
SR: Sexual reproduction occurs when spores from two parents fuse and form a zygospore.
Surface tension in water owes to the fact that water molecules attract one another, as each molecule forms a bond with the ones in its vicinity. ... This inward net force causes the molecules on the surface to contract and to resist being stretched or broken.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
There are several reasons that genetic variation occurs. Some of them are as follows: mutation, random fertilization, recombination event during meiosis etc. The way in which this variation in genetics is distributed is in a continuous way. In case of the human species, it is reported that 85% of all variation is within a certain population, while the remaining 15% of genetic variation is between populations.
Mitosis
Involves one cell division?
Results in two daughter cells
Results in diploid? daughter cells? (chromosome? number remains the same as parent cell)
Daughter cells are genetically identical
Occurs in all organisms except viruses
Creates all body cells (somatic?) apart from the germ cells? (eggs and sperm)
Prophase is much shorter
No recombination/crossing over occurs in prophase.
In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.
During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Meiosis
Involves two successive cell divisions
Results in four daughter cells
Results in haploid? daughter cells (chromosome number is halved from the parent cell)
Daughter cells are genetically different
Occurs only in animals, plants and fungi
Creates germ cells (eggs and sperm) only
Prophase I takes much longer
Involves recombination/crossing over of chromosomes in prophase I
In metaphase I pairs of chromosomes line up along the equator.
During anaphase I the sister chromatids move together to the same pole.
During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Similarities
Mitosis
Diploid parent cell
Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.
During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Ends with cytokinesis.
Meiosis
Diploid parent cell
Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (but twice!)
In metaphase II individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.
During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Ends with cytokinesis.
