Mitosis
Involves one cell division?
Results in two daughter cells
Results in diploid? daughter cells? (chromosome? number remains the same as parent cell)
Daughter cells are genetically identical
Occurs in all organisms except viruses
Creates all body cells (somatic?) apart from the germ cells? (eggs and sperm)
Prophase is much shorter
No recombination/crossing over occurs in prophase.
In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.
During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Meiosis
Involves two successive cell divisions
Results in four daughter cells
Results in haploid? daughter cells (chromosome number is halved from the parent cell)
Daughter cells are genetically different
Occurs only in animals, plants and fungi
Creates germ cells (eggs and sperm) only
Prophase I takes much longer
Involves recombination/crossing over of chromosomes in prophase I
In metaphase I pairs of chromosomes line up along the equator.
During anaphase I the sister chromatids move together to the same pole.
During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Similarities
Mitosis
Diploid parent cell
Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.
During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Ends with cytokinesis.
Meiosis
Diploid parent cell
Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (but twice!)
In metaphase II individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.
During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Ends with cytokinesis.
Answer:
1. Allele frequency of b = 0.09 (or 9%)
2. Allele frequency of B = 0.91 (0.91%)
3. Genotype frequency of BB = 0.8281 (or 82.81%)
4. Genotype frequency of Bb = 0.1638 (or 16.38%)
Explanation:
Given that:
p = the frequency of the dominant allele (represented here by B) = 0.91
q = the frequency of the recessive allele (represented here by b) = 0.09
For a population in genetic equilibrium:
p + q = 1.0 (The sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%.)
(p + q)^2 = 1
Therefore:
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
in which:
p^2 = frequency of BB (homozygous dominant)
2pq = frequency of Bb (heterozygous)
q^2 = frequency of bb (homozygous recessive)
p^2 = 0.91^2 = 0.8281
2pq = 2(0.91)(0.9) = 0.1638
Your answer would be The microorganism was unicellular and had a well-defined nucleus.
You can use dimensional analysis to figure this out.
× 
= 3 grams
If done correctly, ml and ml will cancel out, leaving you with grams.
If you don't know dimensional analysis, simply multiply <em>3 ml</em> by <em>1 grams </em>and that should still get you 3 grams.
Answer:
Food, substance consisting essentially of protein, carbohydrate, fat, and other nutrients used in the body of an organism to sustain growth and vital processes and to furnish energy. The absorption and utilization of food by the body is fundamental to nutrition and is facilitated by digestion.
