<span>A mature sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from 2n to n. Because meiosis is a key step in the alternation of generations, it is likely that meiosis has a fundamental adaptive function. The nature of this function is still unresolved (see Meiosis), but the two main ideas are that meiosis is adaptive because it facilitates repair of DNA damages and/or that it generates genetic variation. The haploid spores germinate and grow into a haploid gametophyte. At maturity, the gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis, which does not alter the number of chromosomes. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) fuse to produce a zygote, which develops into a diploid sporophyte.</span>

How Light Bleaches Rhodopsin
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Salut!

  1. Light enters the eye through the cornea.
  2. Light travels to the macula within the retina.
  3. Rhodopsin absorbs light, and the Vitamin A changes shape.
  4. Vitamin A detaches from the rhodopsin, and some vitamin A is lost.
  5. Vitamin A from the bloodstream replenishes what is lost. The vitamin A returns to its original shape.

Explanation:

Retina is the part of the eye that contains photosensitive cells that capture light and produce the electrical signals that the brain perceives as images. These photosensitive cells are of two kinds:

  • Rods
  • Cones

Rods contain the photosensitive pigment, rhodopsin that is needed for vision at night or in dim light. Cones function in bright light.

Rhodopsin Bleaching:

Vision in bright or excessive light requires a process called rhodopsin bleaching which is the degradation of rhodopsin upon exposure to light. Upon contact with light, rhodopsin goes through structural changes characterized by the conversion of a pigment derived from Vitamin A, 11-<em>cis</em> retinal to all <em>trans</em> retinal. This chemical conversion initiates a photo-transduction reaction (reaction in which a photon of light is converted into electrical signals) that produces the electrical signals that travel to the brain via the optic nerve. The brain converts the electrical signals to images. This is followed by rhodopsin regeneration in the dark in which all <em>trans</em> retinal is converted back into 11 <em>cis</em> retinal.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

<em>The mushroom in the picture and the option choices are included in the attached image. below...</em>

The highlighted region of the mushroom in the picture represents the mushroom's <em>"Gills"</em>, and paticularlly the multicellular structure carrying the <em>Hymenium</em> called <em>"the basidiocarp"</em> aka basidioma; the Hymenium or underside of the mushrooms is comprised of vertical plates arranged radially, and if a cross section of this is exposed by making a straight cut through the basidiocarp on a microscope, it would appear as option: (A. )
