Actually make does not do any meiosis in his life ! gametes are produced via mitosis ! so the ploidy level is maintained ie haploid !

Answer:

It differs in the sense that male bees do not undergo a reduction cell division, they undergo mitotic division to produce gametes instead.

Explanation:

First of all, this phenomenon in bees is called HAPLODIPLOIDY i.e. a system where one sex is haploid and the other diploid. As stated in the question, the fertilized egg (by sperm) becomes the female bee (haploid sperm + haploid egg= diploid bee) while the unfertilized egg (haploid bee) becomes the male bee.

In as much as fertilization occurs, it means that gametes are produced via meiosis. Meiosis, normally, is the kind of cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) with a reduced number of chromosome (by half). But in this system (haploidiploidy), only the female bee undergoes meiosis to produce the egg cell, the male does not in its production of sperm cells.

Since the male bee is haploid, it can no longer undergo a reduction division (normal meiosis). Instead, it undergoes mitosis, which is a division that produces identical cells with same chromosome number, to produce haploid sperm cells, which then fuses with some of the haploid egg cells to give rise to the diploid female bee. The haploid egg that does not get fertilized eventually develops into the haploid male.

Which organ is responsible for dehydration and compaction of indigestible materials?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Large intestine

Explanation:

After the completion of digestion process in the small intestine, the indigestible residual materials are passed to the large intestine.

The large intestine serves three primary functions -

  1. Absorption of water and electrolytes
  2. Production and absorption of vitamins
  3. Formation and propelling of feces accomplishing their removal through the rectum.

When water gets absorbed, the indigestible materials get dehydrated and during feces formation they are compacted and then eliminated through the rectum.

What does an alcoholic beverage contain that is a central nervous system depressant? 
Art [367]

Answer:

interferes with release of neural transmitter GABA

Explanation:

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, meaning it slows down brain functioning and neural activity. Alcohol does this by enhancing the effects of the neural transmitter GABA

depressants essentially "look" like the neural transmitter and so they go in and block the plasce in the brain between synapses, so when the body tries to release GABA, it appears as if it is already filled in, but in reality it is the alcohol that has filled it. once they start buidling up, they block enough that it impairs brain activity

Other molecules that make up the cells are
Shalnov [3]
Cells are composed of water, inorganic ions, and carbon-containing (organic) molecules. Water is the most abundant molecule in cells, accounting for 70% or more of total cell mass. Consequently, the interactions between water and the other constituents of cells are of central importance in biological chemistry.
