Both mitosis and meiosis begin with a diploid cell that contains replicated chromosomes. Explain the main differences between th

ese two processes and what types of daughter cells produced by each.

Maurinko [17]3 years ago
4 0

<span>Mitosis is a cell division in which one diploid cell divides into two identical diploid cells. On the other hand, a</span> cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half  in daughter cells is called meiosis. Meiosis consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. After meiosis I, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half and the result is two haploid cells. Meiosis II is actually analogous to mitosis. So, in meiosis II, haploid cell divides into two identical haploid cells. In total, meiosis results in four haploid cells while mitosis results in two diploid cells.

Lactic acid fermentation occurs in
Trava [24]
Lactic acid fermentation is a biological process by which glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and the metabolite lactate. It is an anaerobic fermentation reaction that occurs in some bacteria and animal cells, such as muscle cells. If oxygen is present in the cell, many organisms will bypass fermentation and undergo cellular respiration; however, facultative anaerobic organisms will both ferment and undergo respiration in the presence of oxygen.Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+. 

<span>In homolactic fermentation, one molecule of glucose is ultimately converted to two molecules of lactic acid. Heterolactic fermentation, in contrast, yields carbon dioxide and ethanol in addition to lactic acid, in a process called the phosphoketolase pathway. </span>

The anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary differ in that _____.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

many anterior pituitary hormones regulate other endocrine glands whereas posterior pituitary hormones regulate nonendocrine tissues

Explanation:

Anterior pituitary or adenohypophysis is the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Secretion of endocrine cells of the anterior pituitary is controlled by regulatory hormones released by hypothalamus. The hypothalamic releasing hormones bind to anterior pituitary endocrine cells, upregulating or downregulating their release of hormones. Anterior pituitary hormones stimulate endocrine glands: FSH and LH (ovaries and testes), TSH (thyroid), and ACTH (adrenal cortex).

Posterior pituitary or neurohypophysis is the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It  is not glandular it is just a collection of axonal projections from the hypothalamus. Posterior pituitary hormones regulate nonendocrine tissues: ADH-vasopressin (kidney tubules) and oxytocin (mammary glands, uterine tissues, brain).

Sedbober [7]

The bacterium, which is able to survive in both aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions are known as facultative anaerobes.

The facultative anaerobes are the organism, which can use oxygen for the synthesis of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule, but in the condition, where the oxygen is less or absent, they shift to fermentation or anaerobic respiration.

Hence, the correct answer is facultative anaerobes.
