A diploid (2n) cell divides by meiosis, producing four daughter cells. Next, each daughter cell divides by mitosis, producing a

total of eight granddaughter cells. Which of the following statements about the granddaughter cells is true?Four of the granddaughter cells are genetically identical.Each granddaughter cell is diploid (2n).Each granddaughter cell is haploid (n).All of the granddaughter cells are genetically identical.

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.

Eva8 [605]
<span>A mature sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from 2n to n. Because meiosis is a key step in the alternation of generations, it is likely that meiosis has a fundamental adaptive function. The nature of this function is still unresolved (see Meiosis), but the two main ideas are that meiosis is adaptive because it facilitates repair of DNA damages and/or that it generates genetic variation. The haploid spores germinate and grow into a haploid gametophyte. At maturity, the gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis, which does not alter the number of chromosomes. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) fuse to produce a zygote, which develops into a diploid sporophyte.</span>

Which part of the cell is affected by the movement of molecules through diffusion, osmosis and active transport?
kolezko [41]

Ans.

Diffusion, osmosis, and active transport are mechanism of cellular transport that involves movement of molecules through plasma membrane. Diffusion shows movement of small, hydrophobic particles without the help of protein molecules through cell membrane along the concentration gradient.

Osmosis involves movement of water molecules against concentration gradient (from an area of high solvent concentration to an area of low solvent concentration) through cell membrane.

Active transport shows movement of particles, against the concentration gradient, means from a region of higher to lower concentration of molecules through cell membrane. It involves transport through membrane proteins.

Thus, the part of cell, which is affected by the movement of molecules through osmosis, diffusion, and active transport is cell membrane or plasma membrane.

Suggest one reason why the population of the woodland caribou has declined in the united states?
schepotkina [342]
Well its most likely over hunted but if its endangered and not allowed to be hunted then it would be because of natural predators in the area being over populated and taking out the caribou to fast

zvonat [6]
To limit the hazard of creating nephrotoxicity, the patient should remain all around hydrated by drinking no less than eight 8-oz glasses of water day by day. Eating light dinners or taking the medication on an unfilled stomach would not diminish the hazard of creating nephrotoxicity. A medical attendant ought to never change the medication measurement without counseling the prescriber.
