Answer:

Each granddaughter cell is haploid (n)

Explanation:

Meiosis in the parent cell with a "2n" chromosome number would produce a total of four daughter cells. Each of these daughter cells would have an "n" number of chromosomes as separation of homologous chromosomes to the opposite poles during anaphase-I reduces the chromosome number to half in the daughter cells. Also, the event of crossing over and random segregation of homologous chromosomes makes the daughter cells of meiosis genetically different from each other.

Each of these four cells enters mitosis and forms a total of eight cells. Since mitosis maintains the chromosome number, each of the eight cells would have an "n" number of chromosomes and would be haploid.

Is the following statement true or false? Explain your
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Cell membrane is made of the lipids and proteins with the attached moieties of carbohydrates. The plasma membrane is the selectively permeable membrane that allows the diffusion of some selected particles only.

The transport along the cell membrane depends on the size and the hydrophobicity of the molecule. The size of oxygen is although higher than magnesium but to its highly hydrophobic nature it can easily pass through the plasma membrane as compared with the magnesium. The oxygen diffuses out faster than magnesium.

Thus, the answer is false.
