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

Biology

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.

Which of the following actions occurs during DNA replication?
Nata [24]
Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin.

A gastrovascular cavity is a digestive tract with two openings-a mouth and an anus.

the gastrovascular system is also known as the coelenteron, and is commonly known as a "blind gut" or "blind sac", since food enters and waste exits through the same orifice.

PLZ HELP!!!! I'LL GIVE BRAILLIEST!!!<br><br><br> How does a tobacco mosaic virus reproduce???
Dominik [7]

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a simple rod-shaped helical virus that contains single stranded RNA situated at its middle and is surrounded by a protein coat called capsid. After tobacco mosaic virus enters its infected host cells through mechanical inoculation, it removes its capsid to release its single stranded viral nucleic acid which is then transported into the nucleolus. The single stranded viral RNA actuates the production of specific enzymes (RNA polymerases) and it also produces another RNA strand (replicative RNA). The new viral-RNAs are transported from the nucleus into the cytoplasm and functions as messenger-RNAs (mRNAs). Each mRNA, ribosomes, and t-RNA, of the infected host cell all controls the production of protein subunits (capsomeres). After the production of the preferred capsomeres, the new viral-RNAs arrange the capsomeres around it which lead to the production of a complete virus particle (virion). The viruses then migrate from one cell to another. Hence, creating organized infection.
