Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

One of the common issues among adults with age is the itchy and dry skin. The reduction of oil glands that assists in keeping the skin soft is the prime reason for the condition. It is very rare that the itchy and dry skin is a sign of kidney disease, diabetes, or any kind of liver disorder.  

Some of the ways, which helps the person with dry and itchy skin are:  

1. Take bath less often and use milder soap. Use warm water as warm water is less drying in comparison to hot water.  

2. Application of moisturizers like creams, lotion, or ointments.  

3. Application of humidifier in the room, that is, an apparatus, which supplements moisture to a room.

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
