The esophagus, a tube that carries food to the stomach, is constantly being scraped as food travels through it. Why does the eso

phagus not deteriorate through a person’s lifetime? Cells can anabolize the food prior to entering the esophagus. Cells are constantly dividing and replacing old or damaged cells. Cells promote a fluid to build up along the esophagus to reduce friction. Cells build a type of protein called enzymes that act as an armor.

The esophagus does not deteriorate throughout a persons life due to cellular reproduction. When the cells are scraped off by the food, mitosis, or cellular division occurs resulting in two daughter cells from one which will eventually replace the missing cells.

A cell under a microscope shows Two daughter cells were formed and they are haploid. Which stage of meiosis is the cell showing?
Nadya [2.5K]

The answer is <span>Meiosis I.</span>



<span>Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces two haploid cells. Meiosis II is analogous to mitosis, so each of these two haploid cells will in meiosis II produce two haploid cells. In total, meiosis results in four haploid cells.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore, the production of two haploid daughter cells is in meiosis I.</span>
