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.

What part of DNA gives instructions to a cell for expressing traits?
Verdich [7]

Answer: Transcription

Explanation: Genes consist of sequences of molecules, called bases, in your DNA. During transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase “reads” your genes and copies the information onto molecules of messenger RNA.

Challenge: A chemical equation is balanced when each side of the equation includes the same number of each type of atom.
nirvana33 [79]
If the reactants are the same the equations are balance but if the reactants are not the same you have to make them balance, however if the reactants are not balance  in order to balance the equation you need to use coefficient to balance the reactants and products of particular chemical reaction.
yet for Photosynthesis the equation 
CO_2 + H_2O => C_6H_12O_6 + H_2O + O_2
Find the ugliest Compound in equation and do not balance first the repetitive Element.
A)So the ugliest one is C_6H_12O_6 and the C is not repetitive and have six atoms so there fore we multiply 6 as coefficient with carbon dioxide.
6CO₂+ H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆+H₂O+O₂ but oxygen will get 12 atoms because is to all Carbon dioxide.
B) Then we have carbon balanced then we are going to balance Hydrogen, yet on product side it have 14 but on the reactant side it have 2 but Oxygen on product side is 9 there but on reactant side we have 1 so there fore we have to multiply water on reactant side by 12 and on product side multiply water with six and in addition multiply oxygen with 6 which land you at:
6CO₂+ 12H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆+6H₂O+6O₂.
so we will have 24 hydrogen and 24 oxygen on both sides. 
Hope that helps you.

The ______ becomes the placenta. a. yolk sac b. chorion c. amnion d. allantois
LekaFEV [45]
I think the correct answer would be A. The yolk sac becomes the placenta. It is membranous sac that is attached to the embryo. It provides all the nutrition and the blood cells needed by the embryo. It is also called the umbilical vesicle.

Discuss how microbial world is divided providing at least two unique features of each if the living group
RUDIKE [14]

Microorganisms can be divided into two groups:

1. Archea

• Archea are prokaryotic unicellular organisms without cell nucleus or other membrane bound-organelles.  

• Their membrane is built from ether lipids, which differs them from bacteria’s cell membrane.

•  

2. Bacteria

• Bacteria are also unicellular prokaryotic organisms.  

• Bacterial cell membranes are made from phosphoglycerides with ester bonds. Bacterial genome is in a form of circular chromosome.  

• They reproduce by binary fission or by budding.

Besides, prokaryotes (Archea and Bacteria) a large number of eukaryotes are also microorganisms. Unicellular eukaryotes contain organelles such as the cell nucleus, the Golgi apparatus and mitochondria. Usually, they reproduce asexually by mitosis. An example of eukaryotic microorganism is Protist.
