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

Biology

tatuchka [14]3 years ago

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.

A scientist discovers a cell that has chloroplasts, cytoplasm, DNA, and a cell membrane. Which statement best describes how the
Zina [86]
<span>The correct answer is The cell is eukaryotic because it has chloroplasts. Prokaryotic cells don't have chloroplasts as they are only found in eukaryotic cells. The closest thing there is to chloroplasts are the cyanobacteria who function similarly and also photosynthesize but are in the end not chloroplasts themselves.</span>

Some problems with use of DNA analysis for forensic evidence may occur because of
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: Option D " all of the above "

Explanation: DNA can be a great source of information when used as a forensic evidence. This technique has many advantages and disadvantages when used as a source of information in case of crime.

Identical twins: There are some common fragments of DNA that is same in identical twins so it can be a difficulty in deciding the criminal.

Not enough of a sample: DNA should be present in a detectable amount to be used an sample for evidence, less than this detectable amount is a waste and cannot be used as a sample for evidence.

Contaminated and degraded sample: If the sample of DNA is contaminated or degraded then the result might be incorrect and might not be used as a sample for forensic evidence.

Hence, the correct answers are all of the above.
