The origin of congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs when circulating cortisol levels are low.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease which results from mutations of genes for enzymes involved in the biochemical steps of production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids or sex steroids from cholesterol by the adrenal glands (steroidogenesis). <span>Low cortisol production results in rising levels of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) because cortisol usually inhibits ACTH production. This increased ACTH production induces overgrowth (hyperplasia) and overactivity of the steroid-producing cells of the adrenal cortex.</span>

K. Which stage does the following occur
dangina [55]

The stages of the cell division at which each process occur would be as follows:

  • Chromatin condenses into chromosomes - prophase
  • chromosomes align in the center of the cell - metaphase
  • The longest part of the cell cycle - interphase
  • the nuclear envelope breaks - prophase
  • the cell is cleaved into two new daughter cells - cytokinesis
  • daughter chromosomes arrive at the poles - telophase

The cell cycle is characterized by two major events:

  1. The interphase
  2. The m phase

The cell prepares itself at the interphase by growing and increasing in volume, synthesizing DNA and proteins. Thus, the interphase takes a large chunk of the entire cycle.

The m phase represents mitosis. It is characterized by the following phases:

  • Prophase: nuclear envelope dissolves, chromatin condenses to become chromosomes
  • metaphase: chromosomes align at the center of the cell. Each chromosome gets engaged by spindles
  • anaphase: chromosomes are pulled apart by spindles. Sister chromatids start moving to opposite poles
  • telophase: migration to the pole is completed by chromatids

Once the chromatids reach poles, they decondense and a nuclear envelope emerges to surround them. The cytoplasm then divides to give rise to 2 daughter cells in a process known as cytokinesis.

Why must sexually reproducing organisms produce sex cells that have half the genetic information (DNA) as they have in all their
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Because offspring with two parents will share half of each parent's DNA.

Explanation:

Sex cells contain half of the genetic information of an organism's regular cells. This is because a sexually-produced organism will be unique; it will share genetic information with both of its parents, rather than be identical to its bearer (like an asexual organism would be). When a sex cell meets another sex cell, their DNA will meet as well and change/adapt to suit the organism. If a sex cell had all the information needed to create an embyro, instead of half, which requires another cell's information to fill the DNA void.... well, it would just do it.
