Mitosis and meiosis are both forms of division of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. They are both preceded by one round of DNA replication. The purpose of mitosis is cell regeneration, growth, and asexual reproduction,while the purpose of meiosis is the production of gametes for sexual reproduction. The main differences between mitosis and meiosis occur in meiosis I.

Anatomy<br> Label each of the following structures or processes.
RSB [31]

Answer:

A - DNA

B - mRNA

C - nuclear pore

D - tRNA

E - ribosome

F - rRNA

Explanation:

<em>The entire structure illustrates the process of transcription and translation in a typical eukaryotic cell.</em>

The DNA (A) in the nucleus of the cell is first transcribed to mRNA (B). The mRNA produced is transported to the cytoplasm through the openings within the nuclear membrane - the nuclear pores (C). On getting to the cytoplasm, the mRNA binds to the ribosome (E) (carrying rRNA, F). The tRNA (D) carrying the specific anticodon for a particular codon on the mRNA then binds to the structure and the corresponding amino acid is released. A polypeptide bond is formed between subsequent amino acids and the ribosome moves along the mRNA chain until the translation process is complete.

Meiosis produces cells in the haploid state.In which process is the chromosomes number restored to the diploid state
Ne4ueva [31]
The diploid number is restored when the two haploid cells combine to create a zygote. Basically when the sperm cell enters the egg cell and makes the offspring.

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans
Charra [1.4K]
<span>The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy. 

More Explainable: </span><span>The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy. </span>
