Why can't prokaryotic species be defined as a group of similar organisms that could sexually reproduce together?

Biology
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The prokaryote divides by asexual mode of reproduction.

Explanation:

The concept of species which defines a species as a group of individuals of a population which can interbred and produce a fertile progeny is applicable to the organism which can reproduce sexually.

Since the bacteria divide through asexual means and not through sexual ways therefore the concept of defining a species becomes complicated and does not apply.However the concept of species in prokaryotes is still a topic of research.  

Thus, the biological concept of species is not applicable to prokaryotes.

Meiosis is a process that produces gametes. Using the diagram, what do you notice about the cells produced in meiosis?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is C) Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells each with half the number of  chromosomes of the original cell.</em></u>

Explanation:

There are two main processes by which cell divides:

1) Mitosis

2) Meiosis

All the cells of the body divide by the process of mitosis except the sex cells.<em> Sex cells divide by the process of meiosis.</em>

Meiosis can e described as a type of cell division in which four daughter cells are formed each having half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This is because the cell has to attain half of the maternal and half of the paternal chromosomes at the time of fertilization.

Crossing over and independent assortment are the phenomenon of meiosis which bring genetic diversity among parent and children.
