Meiosis and mitosis are both forms of cell division. However, the outcomes of these processes differ. Consider a diploid organis

m with two sexes. Select the reasons why meiosis typically produces genetic variation, whereas mitosis does not. Gametic chromosomes have a different combination of alleles than parental chromosomes as a result of independent assortment. Sister chromatids are not genetically identical as a result of crossing over during meiosis. 1n gametes produced in mitosis fuse to produce 2n cells in meiosis. Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

Answer:

Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

Gametic chromosomes have a different combination of alleles than parental chromosomes as a result of independent assortment

Explanation:

Meiosis and Mitosis are two types of cell division that occurs in living organisms. However, Mitosis produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell. This accounts for the reason meiosis leads to genetic variation.

The production of genetically different cells by meiosis is as a result of the process of the random orientation of chromosomes during metaphase I of meiosis I. This process is called INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT. However, crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.

sweet [91]

Answer:

(d) chemosynthetic forms

Explanation:

Autotrophs are characterized by their ability to produce their own food; parasites, saprophytes, and pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms do not have this ability. Chemosynthetic ones, however, can through the conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules into organic matter.

Potassium channel blockers (such as amiodarone and procainamide) are used to treat abnormal electrical activity of the heart. Th
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

repolarization  

Explanation:

Potassium channel blockers are drugs that interfere with the flow of potassium ions (K+) through potassium channels in cell membranes, thereby prolonging the duration of the action potential (repolarization phase). For example, amiodarone is a class III antiarrhythmic agent whose target is HERG human cardiac K+ channel. This drug (amiodarone) acts by prolonging the repolarization phase of the cardiac action potential.

Which statement is the best example of the law of conservation of energy?
dolphi86 [110]

The law of conservation of energy is where energy is distributed or transported to other objects or things, and energy is never destroyed or created. It would be C because it talks about while driving the thermal energy of the engine is being used and goes into the air. The others dont explain the transfer of energy as well. I hope this helps.
