How do cells separate from each other?

Biology
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago
8 0

There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Most of the time when people refer to “cell division,” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.

Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by a number of genes. When mitosis is not regulated correctly, health problems such as cancer can result.

The other type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes in each generation. It is a two-step process that reduces the chromosome number by half—from 46 to 23—to form sperm and egg cells. When the sperm and egg cells unite at conception, each contributes 23 chromosomes so the resulting embryo will have the usual 46. Meiosis also allows genetic variation through a process of DNA shuffling while the cells are dividing.

How is the concept of homeostasis related to disease and aging provide examples?
Alinara [238K]

Answer;

-Because of Homeostatic imbalance as we age our body organs become less efficient, and our internal conditions become less and less stable. This event has a risk for illness and produce changes we associate with aging.

Explanation;

-Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment even though the outside world is constantly changing. It involves both positive feedback Loops and the negative Feedback loops.

-Aging is a general example of disease as a result of homeostatic imbalance. As an organism ages, weakening of feedback loops gradually results in an unstable internal environment. This lack of homeostasis increases the risk for illness and is responsible for the physical changes associated with aging.

Is the creation of genetically unique offspring by two parents?
viktelen [127]
The answer is sexual reproduction in which the creation of offspring by fertilization consisting 2 haploid gametes come together to form a diploid zygote with a new genetic combination. The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that asexual reproduction results in a genetically identical offspring whereas sexual reproduction results in a unique offspring in which offspring with a new genetic combination.

b) Nodules in the glans

Some times, due to overstimulation immune system itself attack the thyroid gland thereby producing excess thyroxine and hence causing  the thyroid to swell
