Coin flipping simulates the events of mitosis and the production of sperm or eggs

Biology
1 answer:
a_sh-v [17]4 years ago
5 0
Coin flipping simulates the events of mitosis and the production of sperm. This is because females carry XX chromosomes so all eggs will have a singular X chromosome. It is the sperm that determines the sex of the foetus: males have XY chromosomes and therefore sperm will carry either X or Y chromosomes (a 50/50 chance, just like flipping a coin)

Plasmodium is a parasitic apicomplexan that causes malaria in humans. the figure below illustrates the plasmodium life cycle.
vaieri [72.5K]
Plasmodium is a monocellular parasite causing malaria to humans. The parasite's life cycle always includes two hosts, an insect host and a vertebrate host. The parasite's cells are injected into the vertebrate's (human in our case) bloodstream by the insect host (mosquito). There are several stages in its life cycle but the sexual reproduction occurs only in the insect. In the insect, gametocytes (haploid gametes) merge and form a zygote which in turn becomes an oocyst. Oocysts divide multiple times and that way a great number of sporozoites is produced. These sporozoites travel to the salivary gland of the mosquito and are injected into the bloodstream of the second host, the human. In humans, sporozoites infect liver cells and red blood cells.

According to this information, the four statements about Plasmodium which are true are:
 -Plasmodium cells are transferred to human cells through mosquito saliva.
-The complete life cycle of Plasmodium requires two hosts.
-Plasmodium cells infect two specific types of cells in humans.
- Inside an infected mosquito haploid gametes fuse, forming a haploid zygote that develops into an oocyst.

In DNA, what base pairs with cytosine?
Aneli [31]

Answer: B. guanine

In a double helical structure of the DNA,  the two strands of the DNA lies in a anti-parallel conformation. The complementary strands of the DNA follows the complementary base pairing rule given by Chargaff. It states that any cell of the organism should have 1:1 ratio of the pyrimidine and purine basis. The amount of thymine is equal to adenine and the amount of cytosine is to guanine. Adenine forms double hydrogen bond with Thymine and Cytosine forms triple hydrogen bond Guanine.
