Meiosis reduces chromosome number and rearranges genetic information. Explain how the reduction and rearrangement are accomplish
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in the sex cells of organisms. It ensures the reduction of a diploid cell to an haploid cell to allow for the formation of a diploid zygote after fertilization (contribution of both parents haploid sex cells to give a diploid zygote). Thus, this process is very essential and important.

The reduction is accomplished by 2 divisions after the duplication of chromosomes

- first division: separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes (this reduces the total in half)

- second division: separation of sister chromatids of a chromosome.

The rearrangement in meiosis occurs by crossing over/genetic recombination.

This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous pairs of chromosome bringing about a rearrangement and genetic variation

An example of a chromosomal abnormality that arises as a result of defects in this process is the Down Syndrome which is caused by a nondisjunction of the chromosomes 21 pair in a sex cell.

This condition produces offsprings that have some characteristic facial features, short stature etc

Some health science sites may restrict employees from wearing perfume or other scents.
Verdich [7]

The given statement is true.  

Some of the health science sites may restrict employees from wearing perfumes or other fragrances because the chemicals in the fragrances can stimulate reactions ranging from headaches to palpitations of heart in some of the individuals who are sensitive to them, making it tough for them to work efficiently.  

With time, the individuals getting exposed to the chemicals present in the fragrances become more sensitized to them to the point that they can no longer tolerate any more exposure. This can initiate breathing issues, nausea, sneezing, disorientation, and in extreme situations, they can even go into shock.
