Hello! What are two similarities of Mitosis and Meiosis? Thanks :)

Mitosis and meiosis are the two ways by which cells reproduce. As a result, they share several steps in their respective processes. Meiosis adds another division and a step that mixes the genetic material, but in both cases the cell must duplicate its DNA, pull it apart into two sets, place the sets on each end of itself, and then divide down the middle. Both mitosis and meiosis produce fresh new cells based on their parent cells' genes.

Seasons of Change Activity Worksheet—Disappearing Marine Iguanas Case Study
baherus [9]

Answer:

1. Using the map and the minimal knowledge that Liz has at this point, propose three different hypotheses regarding the sudden high mortality of marine iguanas. Record your answers in the worksheet and post your hypotheses to the 03.01 class discussion board before proceeding to the next question.  (3 points possible)

Hypotheses One:  Iguanas are adapted to hot/warm weather, so the weather changed could have affected them.

Hypotheses Two: There was not enough shelter for the iguanas so they started disappearing.

Hypotheses Three: A new species has come close to where the iguanas live and taken them out.

2. Look at your classmates’ hypotheses on the discussion board. Choose one hypothesis that seems most likely to you. Provide the student name and hypothesis and tell what evidence you would need to support (or refute) it. (3 points possible)   Carter Spiers, Hypothesis 1. there was a lot of rain and it washed at the iguanas away. We would have to dive into the water/ ocean and find iguana bodies to be able to prove that this is true.

3. Given what you know at this point about marine iguanas and the abiotic effects of ENSO, develop two possible directions of research that Liz should pursue to understand exactly why the iguanas suffered such a high mortality. Keep in mind that you need to consider indirect effects. While environmental temperature does change metabolic rates of ectotherms, the iguanas are exposed to a wide range of temperatures as they feed and bask on the lava. Direct mortality in response to a temperature change of a couple of degrees is unlikely.  (3 points possible)

Possible Research Direction One: The climate event caused a lot more rainfall which then made it very hard for the iguanas to reach their food source.

Possible Research Direction Two: The temperatures raised very high causing the iguanas to absorb a extreme about of extra heat, which eventually made them very lazy and stopped defending their self from predators.  

4. Choose one of those directions of research and determine what data you would need to find to support your ideas.  (2 points possible)          Specific data of the extreme amounts of rainfall.

Compare and contrast the mechanisms of getting material across the plasma membranes of cells. Tells me what the mechanisms are i
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Materials get transported from the cell by some mechanisms such as Active Transport, Passive Transport, Diffusion, etc.

Explanation:

Active Transport :

It is a process by which, materials are transported from the extracellular membrane to the intracellular membrane with the help of ATP. It has a few types :  

Primary Active Transport :  

This system is standing upon the sodium-potassium pump. It moves out   Na⁺ from the cell and allows the entry of K⁺ into the cell. In this process ATP is a source of energy. E.g, Sodium-potassium pump.

Secondary Active Transport :

It is mainly standing upon Primary Active Transport. In this process, the main key point is the concentration gradient. There is already a concentration gradient set up by the primary active transport. This system uses that up and moves other substances against their own gradient concentration. E.g, assuming, there is a high concentration of sodium outside the cell,  if a route such as a channel or a carrier protein is open then sodium ions will move into the cell.  In this transport system, some cotransporters are used who move in the sodium ion into the sodium gradient.  

Passive transport :

It is a process by which, substances cross the plasma membrane without acquiring any energy from the cell. Here, no energy is needed because the substances are moving from higher concentration to its lower concentration. E.g, cell membrane or plasma membrane works as a permeable or semipermeable membrane.  

Diffusion :

It is the movement of a substance across a membrane, due to the concentration gradient, without any help from other molecules. E.g, movement of the gaseous molecule from cell to cell.
