The answer is <span>B. secondary spermatocytes.

A diploid organism (2n) has 12 chromosomes (2n = 12) in its germinal cells. Spermatogenesis actually consists of mitosis and meiosis (the reduction division). It starts from spermatogonia (germinal cells) that are diploid. Through the mitosis, they divide into identical primary spermatocytes. As they are the result of mitosis, they are diploid (2n), too. However, primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis. After meiosis I secondary spermatocytes are formed and they are the first that are haploid (n) and have 6 chromosomes.

During DNA Replication, a DNA strand that has the bases 3'ATACGC5' produces a strand with the bases
Gemiola [76]

During DNA Replication, the DNA strand that has the bases 3'ATACGC5' produces a strand with the bases 5'TATGCG3'  

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The DNA Replication produces the newly formed two complimentary base pair strand from the two template base pair strand, so basically the already existing DNA strand is replicated, in order to produce complimentary DNA strand, with the template giving one strand to new each.

Thereby, here the given base was 3' ATACGC 5' so the first thing to produce the strand will be that the coding end will be reversed so the 3' end will have 5' end and 5' end will have 3' end. Then A bonds with T and T bonds with A and, so C bonds with G and G bonds with C, therefore, ATACGC will produce TATGCG. Thereby, answer would be 5'TATGCG3'.

Use complete sentences to explain how the mass of hydrogen is conserved during cellular respiration.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The mass of hydrogen is conserved during cellular respiration as it follows the Law of Conservation of Matter. This shows that hydrogen has been conserved throughout the entire process (H representing Hydrogen) as the product has the same amount of hydrogen as the reactants.

The AMOUNT of carbon-dioxide atoms released by respiration are EXACTLY EQUAL to the atoms of these materials contained in the oxygen and carbon converted. In this way respiration has conserved the mass or material and in this way followed the law of conservation of mass.
