Why is there no second interphase in Meiosis II?

Biology
1 answer:
baherus [9]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Cells do not need to replicate their DNA, so there is no need to be in interphase

Explanation:

Interphase is the part of the cell cycle where the cell is not actively dividing. In this stage, the chromatin is decondensed. It is much longer than any stage in mitosos or meiosis, and is the normal state of the cells.

When a meiotic cell is in interphase before it is ready to make daughter cells, it replicates its DNA, ensures that the conditions are favourable for cells to divide (nutrients in good supply, all checkpoints for DNA damage are passed). Then it is able to divide.

Meiosis I generates 2 diploid daughter cells. At the end of this, the cell proceeds straight to meiosis II with no interphase stage, it moves straight to mitosis again.

This is because there is no need for DNA replication or further checks. The purpose of meiosis is to make 4 haploid daughter cells, so the cell will continue until this has happened. The diploid daughter cells made in meiosis I are simply divided again to make 4 haploid cells.

adell [148]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.

b. The woman may have different gender babies.

c. The woman with less stretch marks has larger skin cells.

d. The woman without stretch marks has more cholesterol in her diet, which affects her cell membranes.

Answer:

The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.

Explanation:

The stretch marks on the hips, stomach and breast of pregnant women is a very common problem. These stretch marks appear pinkish in color which is very difficult to treat.

These stretch marks are the result of the collagen to elastin ratio which increases and stretches. This stretching happens due to the sudden or rapid increase in the weight of the body or the affected portion.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
