Answer: C. Homologous chromosomes are separated in meiosis but not in mitosis.
Explanation: There are two main types of division that take place in eukaryotic cells, mitosis, and meiosis. Mitosis is the type of division that is used for growth, repair, and replacement of tissues. Therefore it is not necessary that the cells have different chromosome numbers or are varied genetically in the daughter cells in the case of mitosis.
Meiosis is the division that takes place to form the gametes for sexual reproduction. It is important in the first stages of meiosis I, to introduce variation and to halve the chromosome number.
Chromosomes numbers are halved (from 46 to 23) during meiosis I because the gametes (sperm and egg) come together and fuse during fertilization to form a zygote. When this fusion occurs (23 from the zygote and 23 from the egg), the chromosome number needs to be returned to that of the parent cell (46).
<h2>
Genetic variation is introduced during synapsis which only occurs in meiosis, not mitosis. Homologs exchange genetic information during crossing over of synapsis. Entire chromosomes also separate during meiosis I.
</h2>
At the end of meiosis, four genetically unique cells are produced with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (23 cromosomes) . After the process of mitosis is completed, two cells genetically identical to each pther are produced and have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell (46 cromosomes).
Genetic variation is actually important because of changing environmental conditions.
A. They are made of some of the same matter
ex: humans and horses are both mammals. We both of bones and grow up feeding from our mothers milk. We do not have the same dna, we are not autotrophs, and we need different amounts of energy to survive
The magnification of the ocular lens of a microscope is x10 and the magnification of the objective lens for low, medium, and high power are 4X, 10X, and 40X, respectively. The measured dFOV under medium power is 2.6mm.
Answer:
B Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Explanation:
Genetic continuity ensures that genetic information is passed from one generation to another in correct way so that the resultant progeny has the complete set of genes required for survival. For example, at the end of mitosis, daughter cells should have the same number of chromosomes as parent cell.
Binary fission is a method of reproduction in some organisms like bacteria. It is an asexual mode of reproduction in which the parent cell splits into daughter cells without the process of fusion with another cell. It still maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell and thus have same number of chromosomes and type of genes.
