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:

cAMP dependent pathway is important for processing of life.

Explanation:

cAMP pathway is also called as adenynyl cyclase pathway.

This mechanism requires different steps like-

  1. G protein coupled receptor is a integral protein that is activated by different external stimuli which binds with the specific ligand.
  2. Extracellular ligand causes activation of GPCR which in turn is responsible for conformational change  in the receptor and allows it to bind with the intracellular heterotrimeric G protein complex.
  3. The Gα  stimulate G protein complex to exchange GDP for GTP and then the complex is released.
  4. Activated Gα binds with adenylate cyclase and catalyzes ATP to form cyclic AMP.
  5. Activation of cAMP leads to the activation of nucleotide gated ion channel, and PKa(Protein kinase A) which is also called as cAMP dependent enzyme.
  6. Once, PKA is activated,it causes phospholylation of other proteins like AMPA receptor,transcription factors which regulate gene expression, and convert glycogen into glucose.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Proteins, Liver, Osmotic, Fluid, Into The Blood, Decrease.

Explanation:

Blood is considered a colloid because it contains proteins in the plasma.

Most of these are produced by the liver.

Collectively, these substances exert osmotic pressure and prevent the loss of fluid from the blood as it moves through the capillaries.

The pressure exerted by the plasma proteins is called colloid osmotic pressure.

This force is responsible for moving fluids into the blood and preventing excess fluid loss between blood capillaries and the interstitial fluid.

If plasma protein levels decrease, colloid osmotic pressure will decrease.

I hope this answer helps.
