Answer:

25 and 21

Explanation:

if a homologous pair does not separate, then the homologous pair (when the spindle fibers are dragging it over to the other pole), then that chromosomes DNA will be the exact same as the paternal and maternals' DNA. During Meiosis I, there is the stage where the homologous pairs are lined up and pulled apart (where an exchange tends to happen), but if there pair doesn't mix, then the exact same DNA is duplicated, and thus, the same traits can be found in the daughter cell. If you are talking about an entire homologous pair being pulled over to one side of the nucleus, depriving the other side of a chromosomal pair, the daughter cells would then have 21 chromosomes, and the other one would have 25 chromosomes. The gametes, similarly, would have 21 chromosomes and 25 chromosomes.

Which statement does NOT accurately describe eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

You did not provide any options so i will give some facts that will hopefully help you in figuring out the correct answer.

For prokaryotic cells, the cell wall is a tough, fibrous layer that protects the cell and gives it shape and rigidity.

Prokaryotic cells are found in the domain(s) Bacteria and Archaea.

True: Prokaryotic cells have nucleoids and eukaryotic cells have nuclei.

A prokaryotic cell is distinct from a eukaryotic cell because a prokaryotic cell lacks _a nucleus_.

There is only  _1_ eukaryotic domain, it is Eukarya.

A mugger steals your wallet causing all of the following to happen EXCEPT ________.a.) increased metabolic rateb.) increased rat
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

c.) increased glucose uptake to the liver from blood

Explanation:

During stressful conditions such as facing a mugger, the sympathetic system of the autonomic nervous system is activated. There is a release of stress hormones from the adrenal glands to produce the flight or fight response. One of the physiological events occurring during these conditions is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose in liver cells and the release of glucose into the blood. The release of glucose by the liver increases blood glucose levels. This is done to ensure glucose availability as fuel. There is no uptake of glucose from the liver cells under such emergency conditions.
