What are 2 ways in which gametes differ from somatic cells?

Biology

tatuchka [14]3 years ago

Gametes are the cells in human body used for reproduction, such as sperms or eggs, and somatic cells are the other body cells, such as muscle cells, skin cells and all other.

First, they have different number of chromosomes. Gametes have only one set of chromosomes, while somatic cells have a complete 2 set of chromosomes. This is because fertilization requires 2 gametes joining together and this will help maintain the correct amount of chromosomes at last.

Second difference between them is that gametes are products of meiosis, while somatic cells are products from mitosis. Both are types of cell divisions but meiosis produces 4 genetically different cells while mitosis produces 2 genetically indentical daughter cells.

Drag labels at left into the appropriate targets on the right to complete this concept map about oxidative phosphorylation
almond37 [142]

*The key function of each of the two photosystems is to absorb light and convert the energy of the absorbed light into redox energy, which drives electron transport.

In PS II (the first photosystem in the sequence), P680 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes water), and the PS II primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

In PS I, the PS I primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces other compounds that ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH), and P700 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

The gametophyte is green and nutritionally independent in
aev [14]

Answer:

The gametophyte is green and nutritionally independent in mosses, liverworts, and fern.

Explanation:

The gametophyte is the sexual stage of growth in plants and algae.

During this stage, there is production of reproductive organs which produce sex cells.

During this stage, the gametophyte is independent since it relies fully on itself for food production.

The presence of chlorophyll enables this independence.

The gametophyte produces its own food through photosynthesis.
