Why do cultural universals exist?

2 answers:

8 0

Cultural universals (elements of a culture that exist in every society such as food, religion, language, etc.) exist because all cultures have basic needs and they all develop common features to ensure their needs are met. ... Countercultures reject the norms of society and replace them with their own.

Within a given species, which two types of cells have the equivalent amounts of dna?

kiruha [24]

The original question has a set of choices. This is within the context of cell division. The choices are:

A. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell in G2 of interphase
B. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell immediately after the completion of meiosis II
C. A cell in G1 of interphase and a cell in metaphase II of meiosis
D. A cell in G2 of interphase and a cell in metaphase II of meiosis
<span>E. None of the above.
</span>
The correct answer is C. A cell in G1 is diploid and the cell in meiosis II is haploid but the amount of DNA still equivalent as each chromosome in the haploid cell consists of two chromatids. G2 cells already had been through the S phase therefore the genetic material is already doubled. A cell immediately after meiosis II has half the genetic material.

6. Why does meiosis increase genetic variation in the offspring, but mitosis does not? (1 point)

brilliants [131]

Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.

The wall of the alveolus (air sac) in the lung is composed of which type of epithelium? hints the wall of the alveolus (air sac)

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer;

-Simple squamous epithelium

Explanation;

-Simple squamous epithelium is the single layer of thin, flat cells that line body surfaces which are not exposed substantially abrasive forces. The primary function of the columnar cell is that secretion and absorption simple squamous epithelium a single layer flat scale shaped cells.

-Simple squamous epithelium lines the air sacs, or alveoli, of the lungs. The alveoli are sites where air is exchanged in the lungs. Simple squamous epithelial cells in the alveoli allow oxygen from the air to enter the blood in the capillaries of the lung.

Ecosystem services include processes that increase the quality of the abiotic environment. Which of the following processes woul

slega [8]

Answer:

Option D, only II, III, and IV

Explanation:

Complete Question

Ecosystem services include processes that increase the quality of the abiotic environment. Which of the following processes would fall under this category?

I) Keystone predators have a marked effect on species diversity.

II) Green plants produce the oxygen we breathe.

III) The presence of land plants builds soil.

IV) The presence of diverse wetlands helps in flood control.

A) only II and IV

B) only I and III

C) only I, II, and IV

D) only II, III, and IV

Solution -

The services of ecosystem has been classified into four groups

a) Provisioning – Where essential abiotic and biotic substance are produces such as production of food and water, reproducing offspring etc.

b) Regulating – the ecosystems is controlled through environmental factors such as control of climate and disease

c) Supporting – Ecosystem support the activities that are essential for survival. Primarily includes all nutrient cycles, oxygen generation etc.

d) Cultural – Provide aesthetic view and recreational benefits

Option II co mes under supporting service of ecosystem

Option III co mes under Provisioning service of ecosystem

Option IV co mes under Regulating service of ecosystem

Hence, option D is correct
