PLEASE HELP!!!! A Carp fish has 104 chromosomes. Explain why its germ cells CANNOT go through MITOSIS to create egg or sperm cel

Answer:

Mitosis can be described as a type of cell division in which the daughter cells are exactly similar to the parent cell. On the other hand, as a result of meiosis, the daughter cells made have half the number of chromosomes as compared to the parent cell.

The egg cells and the sperm cells divide by meiosis instead of mitosis because when the egg cell and the sperm cell will unite, the resulting zygote will maintain the stable number of chromosomes. For example, the egg cell of the carp fish will have 52 chromosomes, the sperm cell will also have 52 chromosomes. When this egg cell and the sperm cell unite, then only a stable zygote with 104 chromosomes will be formed.

If the zygote had 104 chromosomes and the sperm had 104 chromosomes (if they divided by mitosis), then the resulting zygote would have  208 which will not be stable.

Which of the following best explains why what we know about cells is called a theory and not a law?
postnew [5]

Answer:

I would say We don't have enough evidence or Cell theory is still changing.

Explanation:

There are so many cells in everything so it's almost impossible to know exactly what is going on. Theories about cells have been going on for over 500 years, and we still don't know exactly what is what.

The operon model of the regulation of gene expression in bacteria was proposed by _____. the operon model of the regulation of g
aleksley [76]

<span>Discovery</span>

The operon model (Lac operon) of the regulation of gene expression in bacteria was proposed by Jacob and Monod and hey got noble prize in 1965 in Physiology and Medicine for this discovery.

 Definition

<span>                 “</span><span>Operons are cluster of coregulated bacterial genes which regulate other genes responsible for protein synthesis” </span>

Explanation

                     <span>Operons were first studied in the bacterium E.coli, and they involve the enzyme of lactose metabolism and tryptophan biosynthesis. </span>

Structure of Operon

<span>                     </span>Operon is generally composed of three basic DNA components:

1. Promotor:

<span>                     It is a nucleotide sequence which is recognized by RNA polymerase and initiate transcription.</span>

2. Operator:

                     It is a segment of DNA that is present between the promotor and other genes to be transcribed. In presence of repressor, RNA polymerase is physically obstructed and cannot transcribe the genes. In the absence of repressor, operator is active and start transcription of other proteins.

3. Structural genes:

                                   <span>These genes are responsible for synthesis of targeted proteins under the influence of operator<span>.  </span></span>

Example of operon model:

                                      <span>          In bacteria two operon model have been extensively studied, these are:</span>

<span>                  a. Lac Operon, and</span>

<span>                  b. Tryptophan operon</span>

Describe two ways evolution of organisms can have a harmful effect on humans.
spin [16.1K]
Looks like the question is asking how evolution of a specific species affects humans negatively.
<span>Think of co-evolution examples such as predator-prey and host-parasite relationships.
</span>One example that comes to mind is <span>the use of pesticides in agriculture. It has driven the evolution of resistant insects, requiring the use of harsher chemicals in greater quantity to kill them. This can have a harmful effect on agriculture and in turn affect humans negatively. Does that makes sense?</span>

Explain how the discoveries by Rosalind Franklin
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

In 1951 Franklin joined the Biophysical Laboratory at King’s College, London, as a research fellow. There she applied X-ray diffraction methods to the study of DNA. When she began her research at King’s College, very little was known about the chemical makeup or structure of DNA. However, she soon discovered the density of DNA and, more importantly, established that the molecule existed in a helical conformation. Her work to make clearer X-ray patterns of DNA molecules laid the foundation for James Watson and Francis Crick to suggest in 1953 that the structure of DNA is a double-helix polymer, a spiral consisting of two DNA strands wound around each other.

Describe the functions of the lens, cornea, and retina in the human eye in terms how each reacts to light entering the eye.
Dominik [7]
The cornea is a transparent membrane which bends or retracts the light to focus the light through the pupil
The second refraction occurs in the lens which help focus the image on the retina
The retina is light sensitive cells that lines the inside of your eyes it contains cells called rods and cones. Rods are sensitive and detect dim light while cones detect brighter light and colors
