A cell that just fertilized has to divide 6 times to form a 64 cell blastomere.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Human reproduction begins with the fusion of male gamete sperm and female gamete ovum. The fusion of sperm and ovum forms the zygote that is diploid. The zygote then undergoes mitotic division to develop into embryo.
The zygote first divides into two and the two individual cells divide again to form four individual cells and so on. Thus the number of cells after each division can be represented by the equation
where n is the number of divisions. in the question it is given that the blastomere has 64 cells.
n=6
This means that the fertilized cell has to divide 6 times to develop into 64-celled blastomere.
Tumor suppressor genes encode for proteins that inhibit or slow the progression of the cell cycle through a specific stage.they also encode for check point control proteins that arrests the cell cycle if the DNA is damaged or the chromosomes are abnormal. Mutation in the tumor suppressor genes that cause a loss or decreased function would lead to uncontrolled cell cycle leading to abnormal proliferation and the cell may become cancerous.
Explanation:
Meiosis is beneficial as it produces gametes that are genetically different to the parent cell, and when the gametes combine the offspring produced is made from combination of genes from both mother and father. The offspring is genetically unique, there is no other organism on the Earth with the exact same DNA sequences on their chromosomes.
Arteries: any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body.
Capillaries: any of the fine branching blood vessels that form a network between the arterioles and venules.
Veins: any of the tubes forming part of the blood circulation system of the body, carrying in most cases oxygen-depleted blood toward the heart.
They are all similar because not only are they all connected to the heart, but they transfer blood and nutrients all around the body. They are different by where they are located and how effective their function is.
