Answer:

Testes

Explanation:

Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid mature spermatozoa is produced from diploid germ cells through meiosis and cell differentiation in the male reproductive organ, TESTIS. Spermatogenesis is one of the forms of gametogenesis that occurs in males, as the other (oogenesis) occurs in females.

The testes are composed of numerous thin, tightly coiled tubules known as the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, whose wall the production of sperm takes place.

The process of spermatogenesis begins when diploid germ cells called Spermatogonia, undergoes mitotic division to produce two identical daughter cells. One of these cells (A-spermatogonium) will be used to replenish the pool of spermatogonia i.e ensure that the male is fertile throughout his adult life, while the other (B-spermatogonium) will eventually form the mature sperm cell.

This B-spermatogonium replicates by undergoing mitosis to form identical cells known as Primary spermatocyte. The primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis I to produce two haploid cells called secondary spermatocytes. These two cells undergo meiosis II to produce a total of four haploid cells called Spermatids.

N.B: This series of mitotic and meiotic divisions is called Spermatocytogenesis.

The Spermatids are released into the lumen of the seminiferous tubules from the seminiferous epithelium, a process known as Spermiation. In the seminiferous tubules, the spermatids undergo series of metarmophic change and differentiation into mature spermatozoa, until they reach the epididymis. This structural change, where the spermatids undergo nuclear condensation, formation of acrosomal cap and development of a tail, is known as Spermiogenesis.

The spermatozoa becomes stored in the epididymis and undergoes further maturation.

Answer:

seminiferous tubules

Explanation:

Spermatogenesis is the process by which the male gametes, called sperm, are created. Spermatogenesis takes place in the seminiferous tubules, which are an intricate system of tubules in the testes where spermatogenesis takes place.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The correct answer is - osmosis.

Explanation:

Paramecium lives in freshwater like the Potomac River which is hypotonic to the cytosol of the paramecium. Paramecium uses contractile vacuoles to transport the water from the lower concentration (outside of the cell) to a high concentration of solvent to the inside of the cells.

This process of cell transport is carried out by osmosis as their cytoplasm contains a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This excess water is collected into vacuoles called contractile vacuole that swells and finally internalized the water to the outside of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is - osmosis.

Cite the three main types of RNA and describe briefly the function of each.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

mRNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to protein; serve as template for protein synthesis.

tRNA: Serves as adapter molecule and deliver specific amino acid from the cell pool to the mRNA-ribosome complex.

rRNA: Structural component of ribosomes.

Explanation:

There are three types of nongenetic RNAs: mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.  

1. The messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription in the nucleus. Transcription uses template strand of DNA to specify the nucleotide sequence in mRNA. The mRNA enters cytoplasm to join ribosomes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA serves as a template and specifies the amino acid sequence of proteins.  

2. The transfer RNA (tRNA) serves as an adapter molecule during the process of protein synthesis and binds to the specific amino acids to deliver them to the protein-synthesizing machinery. The anticodon of tRNA binds to the complementary mRNA codons.  

3. The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) serves as structural components for ribosomes. Each of the subunits of ribosomes is made up of rRNA and proteins.

Setler [38]

Answer:

Because of evolutionary traits based on the environment.

Explanation: This is probably because they live in a similar environment, so they both evolved to have similar adaptations to make them excel in that specific enviroment
