A student has twenty identical young plants how does the amount of water given to these plants each day effect how tall the plan

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The amount of water given to the plants depends on the effect of how tall the plant can overall grow. For instance, if all twenty identical plants are being given the same amount of water, then they will grow all at equal rates. However, if there is not equal amount/consistency with the amount of water the plants receive, then this factor may contribute to an uneven growth pattern between all twenty plants. However, other factors (such as location, sunlight, etc.) may also contribute to a plant's growth.

Calculate the number of neutrons in an atom of an element that has a mass number of 98 and an atomic number of 42

olya-2409 [2.1K]

There are 56 neutrons. To find them, you just have to subtract the atomic number with the atomic mass. If you dont know, the atomic number is the number of protons (and electrons) in an atom. The atomic mass is the number of both the protons and neutrons. Of you subtract the atomic number, you get protons.

Which of the following mechanisms can prevent more than one sperm from entering the ovum after fertilization? A. syngamy B. acro

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

the answer is c

Explanation:

By creating a new barrier and destroying the initial interface between sperm and egg, the cortical reaction prevents polyspermy, or the fertilization of a single egg by multiple sperm.

What structure is involved in moving chromosomes during mitosis

Ivahew [28]

Explanation:

<u>-Mitotic spindle fibers</u>

Spindle fibers are microtubule derived structures, formed from a region of the centrosome, called the microtubule organizing center. These proteins attach to the cell's genetic material during nuclear division, to separate genetic material.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. In meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

At A, crossing over: the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined. in prophase I

Spindle fibers join sister chromatids together at their centromeres in metaphase I, pulling them to the equator of the cell;

then, in anaphase I, while joined, they are pulled to opposite sides of the cell; the cell body splits and the nuclear envelope reforms in telophase I

Later, in prophase II, the cellular envelope disintegrates and mitotic spindle fibers are formed

independent assortment occurs. in metaphase II of meiosis: spindle fibers attach to centromeres, chromatids align independently at the equator. Genes segregate independently into new combinations as sister chromatids are pulled apart by their centromeres in anaphase II

in telophase II the cells' nuclei and membrane are then formed with each containing the haploid number (n)

Following the formation of gametes in the last stage, randomized fertilization occurs in sexual reproduction sperm cells fertilize an ovum to form a zygote. This occurs randomly by chance, to result in a complete set of chromosomes 2n, that is a novel combination of half each parent's number of chromosomes
