What kind of cell results when a diploid and a haploid gamete fuse during fertilization?

Biology
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: a triploid cell.

Explanation:

A triploid cell is the result of the fertilization of a diploid cell and a haploid cell. Triploid cells have 3 sets of chromosomes, diploids have 2 sets, and haploids have only 1 set.

Humans, besides many other species, have diploid cells - one set of chromosomes comes from the mother and the other set of chromosomes comes from the father. <u>In order to maintain this number, </u><u>gametes</u><u> (the sex cells: spermatozoids and oocytes) become haploid through meiosis</u>. This way, when the spermatozoid fertilizes the oocyte, the resulting cell will be diploid.

A gamete being diploid is a result of an <u>error during meiosis</u>, and will most likely generate a triploid cell during fertilization.

A triploid cell, unfortunately, <u>won't be able to survive,</u> so they are almost always spontaneously aborted in the first two weeks of pregnancy.

Summary of Differences Between DNA and RNA<span>DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. The only difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second (2') carbon in the ring.DNA is a double stranded molecule while RNA is a single stranded molecule.DNA is stable under alkaline conditions while RNA is not stable.<span>DNA and RNA perform different functions in humans. DNA is responsible for storing and transferring genetic information while RNA directly codes for amino acids and as acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins.</span></span>

julsineya [31]

<u>Answer</u>: Natural selection.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The concept of <em>natural selection</em> was given by <em>Charles Darwin.</em>
  • According to this concept, in a given environment the organisms that possess <em>better adaptations</em> have<em> higher chances of survival</em> and, leave behind a <em>greater number of progenies</em>.
  • When malaria outbreak occurs, the allele frequencies change and only the organisms that possess the alleles which help them to <em>survive</em> this outbreak due to resistance against malarial infection will be selected by nature and<em> hence, this is an example of natural selection.</em>
