Primary spermatocytes are diploid (2n) cells with all of the organelles typically found in eukaryotic animal cells. Spermatogene

sis begins with a primary spermatocyte with 6 chromosomes, which undergoes meiosis 1 to produce two secondary spermatocytes with 3 chromosomes in each. Each of the secondary spermatocytes undergoes meiosis 2 to produce 2 spermatids, with 3 chromosomes in each. The 4 spermatids mature into spermatozoa.
(a) Describe the process in meiosis that ensures that both maternal and paternal chromosomes are passed on to each spermatozoon.





(b) Explain why the genetic content of individual chromosomes in a spermatozoon most likely differs from the genetic content of individual chromosomes in a primary spermatocyte.





(c) In some instances, meiosis of a primary spermatocyte with six chromosomes results in two spermatozoa that contain four chromosomes and two spermatozoa that contain two chromosomes. Predict the most likely cause.

Answer: a. Genetic recombination (crossing over)

b. Can also be explained in terms of crossing over

c. Non disjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1

Explanation:

The process that allows for the transfer of both the paternal and maternal materials to is the crossing over process that takes at meiosis 1 changing them to secondary spermatocytes. While they are still primary spermatocytes, they are still diploid cells having both the maternal and paternal chromosomes. But since the spermatozoon is an haploid cell, it is able to retail some of both parents chromosome by the crossing over event which takes place between homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes allowing them to exchange materials. Thus the chromosomal contents of the primary spermatocyte differs from that of the spermatozoon.

C. This can occur as a result of the one of the homologous chromosome pair refusing to separate at meiosis 1 with one gamete containing 4 chromosomes/8 sister chromatids and the second having 2 chromosomes/4 sister chromatids.

Answer:

That black, sooty-looking substance on the skins of onions is indeed a mold, specifically, Aspergillus niger. It is common on onions, both in the field and once dried, bagged and stored. The fungus typically is found on the outside skins of an onion, and it is harmless, for the most part.

29. What conditions would cause a molecule to diffuse from the outside of the structure shown to the inside?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The conditions that would cause a molecule to diffuse from outside to inside of a structure is a higher concentration of that molecule outside and the presence of a semipermeable membrane that facilitates its passage.

Explanation:

The process by which a molecule passes from a place where it is more concentrated where its concentration is lower - crossing a semipermeable membrane - is called simple diffusion.

<u>Simple diffusion is a mechanism that does not require energy and responds to a concentration gradient</u>. When a molecule is more concentrated in a space it can enter the space where it is less concentrated .

The cell membrane is an example of a semi-permeable membrane where the simple diffusion process occurs.

During stress situations the sympathetic nervous system is more activated, causing a response of either run or fight. Because of that, the body needs to be prepared and there will be elevated blood pressure (the blood is going more to the skeletal muscle, heart,etc), dilated pupils (for better peripheral vision) and increased respiration. </span>

ki77a [65]
The decline in bone breakdown and increased mineralization causes blood calcium to decrease <span>back to normal levels. This happens when there is secretion of calcitonin. This circulation calcitonin is inhibiting </span>osteoclasts<span> and it will stimulate osteoblasts within minutes. The effect of this on osteoclast will cause a decrease in reabsorption and a concurrent increase in deposition because of the osteoblasts activity.</span>
