What is the major difference between a somatic cell and an egg cell?

Biology

kiruha [24]3 years ago

In humans, a diploid cell has 46 chromosomes. Gametes are sex cells, so the egg and sperm. They are considered haploid because each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes that an organism's somatic cells will have. Produced through meiosis, human gametes each have 23 chromosomes.

For fertilization to occur in humans, only one sperm is needed to weaken the barrier that surrounds the egg.
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Approximately 200 out of 200 million sperms ejaculated during intercourse reach the general vicinity of the egg.  They sperms must undergo capacitation during which dilute inhibitory factors fluids of the female reproductive tract weaken the membrane of the sperm head so that head of the sperm can be broken easily when it came in contact with the egg.

The first sperm to reach an egg isn’t the one to fertilize it because the egg is surrounded by a gelatinous membrane called the zona pellucida. Outside this layer, a layer of small granulosa cells also present.

Therefore, it requires numerous sperm to clear a path through these barriers before one of them can penetrate the egg and fertilize it.

tatiyna

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

The initial days and even weeks of pregnancy may happen without a woman being aware of the pregnancy. Even though the baby grows quickly, it starts out as just a fertilized egg. So it takes a while to be noticed. And there is plenty of room at first.

But with an ectopic pregnancy, the baby attaches, instead of in the uterus, outside of the uterus. In most cases, the baby attaches inside the fallopian tube. Outside of the uterus is not designed to provide support and space for the baby. As growth occurs, it can cause severe problems. This is dangerous and can cause bleeding, pain, and possibly shock of the woman's condition is not identified and treated.  

Hope this helps! Have an awesome day!! :-)

Winding mills are made on hills. Why?​
Leni [432]

Answer:

Winding mills are made on hills because of air flow and currents.

Explanation:

Winding mills capture wind to turn blades and produce energy. In order to do so, it needs winds! Strong winds, in order to turn the blades. You will notice that if you ever scale a mountain or go higher, it starts to become windier/the wind blows harder.

If the wind mills are placed higher, it can capture these windier conditions, thus moving the wind blades to produce energy. The higher the hill, the stronger the wind current, the more energy it produces.

How does anatomy provide evidence for evolution?
Alenkinab [10]
The study of comparative anatomy predates the modern study of evolution. Early evolutionary scientists like Buffon and Lamarck<span> used comparative anatomy to determine relationships between species. Organisms with similar structures, they argued, must have acquired these traits from a common ancestor. Today, comparative anatomy can serve as the first line of reasoning in determining the relatedness of species. However, there are many hidden dangers that make it necessary to support evidence from comparative anatomy with evidence from other fields of study.</span>
