True or False: Meiosis halves the chromosome number, whereas mitosis maintains the same chromosome number.

Biology
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Meiosis is the kind of cell division that results in the production of daughter cells with each cell having half number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is the cell division employed by reproductive cells to produce gametes/sex cells. Meiosis occurs in two stages i.e. Meiosis I and II. The chromosome number reduces by half in gametes in order to ensure that after fertilization of both male and female gamete, the resulting organism has the correct set of chromosomes. e.g diploid organism produces haploid gametes which fuses to produce a diploid organism again.

Mitosis is another type of cell division that results in identical daughter cells. They are identical in the sense that they possess the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell that divided. For example, a diploid cell undergoes mitosis to produce two diploid daughter cells.

Which element has one valence electron and six energy levels?
Vadim26 [7]

There is no element with one valence electron and six energy levels. Only two valence electrons and six energy levels.

Answer:

Calcium

Explanation:

A: Calcium is a group 2 element with two valence electrons. Therefore, it is very reactive and gives up electrons in chemical reactions. It is likely to react with an element with six valence electrons that “wants” to gain two electrons. This would be an element in group 6, such as oxygen.

Calculate the frequency of b cells specific for antigen a on day 36 if the antibody concentration on day 36 is about 8 × 103. (f
matrenka [14]
-The number of B cells producing the antibody is proportional to the concentration of that antibody.

-On day 16, one out of  100000 B cells are specific for antigen A
\frac{1}{100000} = 1 x 10⁻⁵ B cells

- on day 16, Antibody concentration is  2 × 10¹= 20 Antibodies
- on day 36, antibody concentration 8 × 10³.= 8000

20 antibodies ------------ 1 x 10⁻⁵ B cells
8000 antibodies--------------x

x= (8000 x 1 x 10⁻⁵)/ 20
x= 4x10⁻³ or 1 in 250 are <span>B cells specific for antigen A</span>
