How do cells separate from each other?

Biology

Aliun [14]3 years ago

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.

Which structure is thick to protect some of the reproductive structures in flowers?
marin [14]

Answer:

C. Sepal

Explanation:

The flower of a plant is the reproductive structure of that plant where all reproductive activities of the plant takes place. However, some structures in the flower performs respective duties to aid this reproduction process. One of those structures or parts of a flower is the SEPAL

The sepal is a usually green external part of a flower that functions to protect some of the other reproductive structures in flowers e.g petals, due to its thick epidermis. Note that, the collection of sepals in a flower is called CALYX

Given RRYY x Rryy, what will the parents be? (no links please)
Tema [17]

I'm guessing the genotypes given (RRYY x Rryy) are the offspring (if this isn't the case this answer may be wrong)

RRYY has both dominant alleles. So we can safely say that the parents are both RRYY.

For Rryy :

Rr is heterozygous (the alleles are not the same), so the parents could be:

RR x rr

RR x Rr

Rr x Rr

(if you do a small punnet square, you can double check these!)

Since yy has both recessive alleles, the parent is yy as well.
