What is the goal of meiosis? How many daughter cells do you have at the end of meiosis?

Answer:

Goal of meiosis: To produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes as compared to the somatic cells.

Each parent cell produces four daughter cells by the end of meiosis.

Explanation:

The goal of meiosis is to produce gametes for sexual reproduction. Since male and female gametes fuse to produce a zygote, each of the gametes should have half the number of chromosomes as compared to the somatic cells to prevent the doubling of chromosomes by the end of each round of sexual reproduction.

Therefore, meiosis produces haploid gametes from diploid gamete mother cells. Absence of DNA replication between meiosis I and meiosis II ensures that the number of chromosomes is halved in the daughter cells of meiosis. Additionally, meiosis also imparts genetic variations to the progeny by the process of crossing over.  

A diploid parent cell enters meiosis I and produces two haploid daughter cells which in turn enter meiosis II to produce a total four haploid daughter cells.

Answer:

B. Thermal energy will move from the plate to the fruit pop.

Explanation:

If you leave a frozen fruit pop that has a lower degree than the object you place it on, the object with the higher temperature will transfer heat to the colder object, which leads the cold object to melt.

MrRissso [65]
Given 
E dominant allele for wet
e recessive allele for dry

that means
for phenotype wet, the possible genotypes are EE, or Ee, and
for phenotype dry, the only possible genotype is ee.

Therefore we also know that the child who has dry earwax has genotype ee.
Since the child inherits one allele from each parent, therefore each parent must have a recessive allele "e".

If both parents have phenotype wet earwax, they both must be heterozygous for wet/dry earwax, namely Ee.

Define Nucleosynthesis and describe what it was like in the first few minutes after the Big Bang
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Actually, in physical cosmology, Big Bang nucleosynthesis (or primordial nucleosynthesis) refers to the production of nuclei other than H-1, the normal, light hydrogen, during the early phases of the universe, shortly after the Big Bang. About first millisecond, the universe had cooled to a few trillion kelvins (1012 K) and quarks finally had the opportunity to bind together into free protons and neutrons. Free neutrons are unstable with a half-life of about ten minutes (614.8 s) and formed in much smaller numbers. The abundance ratio was about seven protons for every neutron. Before one neutron half-life passed nearly every neutron had paired up with a proton, and nearly every one of these pairs had paired up to form helium. By this time the universe had cooled to a few billion kelvins (109 K) and the rate of nucleosynthesis had slowed down significantly.
