Light-independent reactions are the second stage of photosynthesis. They make sugars. Light-independent takes place in the stroma and doesn't require light. They need carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to build the sugars. These sugars are used to build starches and cellulose in a cycle of chemical reactions.
<span>Radioactive H will show up in the sugar, C6H12O6, and radioactive oxygen will show up in the O2 emitted to the air.</span>
The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. Meiosis has both similarities to and differences from mitosis, which is a cell division process in which a parent cell produces two identical daughter cells.
C. the basic unit on inheritance
