Answer:4 haploid daughter cells

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction. During reproduction, when the sperm and egg unite to form a single cell, the number of chromosomes is restored in the offspring.

Meiosis begins with a parent cell that is diploid, meaning it has two copies of each chromosome. The parent cell undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear division. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.

Answer:

Dehydration

Explanation:

Dehydration is the condition of the body which involves the loss of body fluid compared to the amount of water the body gets. Water is an important constituent of the human body making up to about two-third of the body. The normal body metabolism is affected when the amount of water in the body drops below the required level of water necessary for optimal functioning of the body.

Athletes usually suffer from dehydration, most especially long distance runners, as they tend to lose a lot of body fluid through sweating while the body tries to regulate the body temperature during the race. When the body is dehydrated, the heart works harder to pump blood to various parts of the body leading to loss of strength of the muscles.

Common signs a dehydrated person shows include feeling tired and lightheaded, loss of body weight etc.

A communications satellite transmits a radio wave at a frequency of 9.4 x 10^9 Hz. What is the signal’s wavelength? Assume the w

sergejj [24]

To calculate this we will use the light equation:
$c=$ λ $*f$

We have Frequency $f=9.4* 10^{9}Hz$ .
We know that speed of light in vacuum is $c =3.8* 10^{8} m/s$ .
Since a unit of speed of light is m/s, we can change the unit of frequency Hz to 1/s, since Hz means cycles per second (f=1/T).

So:
$f=9.4* 10^{9}1/s$
 $c =3.8* 10^{8} m/s$

 $c=$ λ $*f$
⇒ λ $= \frac{c}{f}$
⇒ λ $= \frac{3.8* 10^{8}}{9.4* 10^{9}}$
⇒ λ $=0.04 m$
