Biology

Answer:

Haploid cells are produced when a parent cell divides twice, resulting in two diploid cells with the full set of genetic material upon the first division and four haploid daughter cells with only half of the original genetic material upon the second.

Animals store most of their excess energy reserves as what?

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Animals store most of their excess energy reserves as fat within the body. Whenever carbohydrates are not available, this stored fat provides the required energy. Fat is a very important part of the diet as it helps to maintain the body temperature. Fats also help to absorb certain vitamins like A, D, E and K.These vitamins are highly essential for our body and is present in our daily diet that we eat. These vitamins are also called fat soluble vitamins. It should also be kept in mind that there are good fats as well as bad fats. The increase in the amount of bad fats can be fatal and can be a reason for heart attack.

Explain how humans would benefit from replacing fossil fuels with geothermal energy.

drek231 [11]

Answer:

There are many advantages of geothermal energy. It can be extracted without burning a fossil fuel such as coal, gas, or oil. Geothermal fields produce only about one-sixth of the carbon dioxide that a relatively clean natural-gas-fueled power plant produces. Binary plants release essentially no emissions.

Determine whether each statement describes mitosis, melosis, or both mitosis and melosis.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks statements, the statements and the answers are as follows:

occurs in organisms that sexually reproduce - MEIOSIS

occurs during growth and development - MITOSIS

the DNA is replicated - MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

occurs in all organisms - MITOSIS

the number of chromosomes remains the same - MITOSIS

the number of chromosomes reduces by half - MEIOSIS

Explanation:

Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cellular divisions that occur in living cells. Mitosis involves the formation of two (2) daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis involves the formation of four (4) daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell.

The following are characteristics of the two division processes based on this question:

MITOSIS:

- It occurs during growth and development of an organism.

- it involves DNA replication

- it occurs in all organisms since every living organism undergoes growth and development.

- the number of chromosomes after mitosis remains the same in the daughter cell i.e. 2n remains 2n

MEIOSIS:

- It occurs only in organisms that sexually reproduce.

- it also involves the replication of DNA

- The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half i.e. 2n to n.
