How are male and female gamete production different

Biology
2 answers:
Nitella [24]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Males produces gametes at a steady, constant pace every day, whereas females only produce gametes once a month.  

Explanation: The average male will produce roughly 525 billion sperm cells over a lifetime and shed at least one billion of them per month. Females are born with approximately 1 million eggs in their ovaries. By the time a woman reaches sexual maturity, only about 300,000 of those eggs remain viable. During her reproductive lifetime, only 300 to 400 eggs will be ovulated during her monthly cycles.

KIM [24]

Answer:

Option E, C tactile (CT) afferent

Explanation:

Whenever a slow moving gentle touch experienced, the response is due to the nerve fibers called C-Tactile afferents (CTs).  

C-Tactile afferents (CTs) are unmyelinated mechanoreceptors  of low threshold and low conduction velocities.  

In humans, CT neurons are found in hairy skin.  

The pleasant feeling observed during a slow gentle touch is due to the interaction of  

CT neurons project to the insular cortex in the brain

Hence, option E is correct

Now, assume the individuals with the filled symbols in the kindred have the O blood type, whereas all the individuals with the o
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

When we talk about the inheritance of traits, or the passage of traits from parents to future generations down the line, we are not just talking about the visual (phenotypical) expression of those traits, but also, their underlying explanation, which is the genotype. A genotype is basically how the genes of the parents combine in such a way that the children inherit a set of traits from the parents, and express them phenotypically, or not.

In the case of blood types, we have four phenotypic groups: A, B and O. Each one of these types is characterized by the underlying set of genes that are responsible for what is expressed. While the O blood type presents a genotype ii, which is recessive, the A and B types will have the following genetic patterns: Ia Ia, or, Ia i (characteristic of the O genetic material) for the A type and: Ib Ib, or Ib i, for the B type. When there is a genetic conjugation from parents genetic material, regarding blood type, we would have these sets of genes combining. In most of the possible combinations genetically speaking, we have the recessive i gene appearing, including in the A and B dominant blood types. This means that when crossed, there will always be a chance of at least one offspring presenting the O blood type, even if one of the parents is dominant A, or B.

In answer: it is the fact that all three types present the recessive allele i, typical of the O blood type, that when pairings of genes happen between parents, the genetic characteristic of the O type may present itself in a dominant fashion, instead of the usual recessive pattern.
