Two cell divisions mitosis or meiosis

Biology

Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.[1]Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle. In eukaryotes, there are two distinct types of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis),[2] and a reproductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half to produce haploid gametes(meiosis). Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells by undergoing one round of DNA replication followed by two divisions. Homologous chromosomes are separated in the first division, and sister chromatids are separated in the second division. Both of these cell division cycles are used in the process of sexual reproduction at some point in their life cycle. Both are believed to be present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

Prokaryotes (bacteria) undergo a vegetative cell division known as binary fission, where their genetic material is segregated equally into two daughter cells. All cell divisions, regardless of organism, are preceded by a single round of DNA replication.

For simple unicellular microorganisms such as the amoeba, one cell division is equivalent to reproduction – an entire new organism is created. On a larger scale, mitotic cell division can create progeny from multicellular organisms, such as plants that grow from cuttings. Mitotic cell division enables sexually reproducing organisms to develop from the one-celled zygote, which itself was produced by meiotic cell division from gametes. After growth, cell division by mitosis allows for continual construction and repair of the organism.[3] The human body experiences about 10 quadrillion cell divisions in a lifetime.[4]

The primary concern of cell division is the maintenance of the original cell's genome. Before division can occur, the genomic information that is stored in chromosomes must be replicated, and the duplicated genome must be separated cleanly between cells.[5] A great deal of cellular infrastructure is involved in keeping genomic information consistent between generations.

What crosses will reasult in all dominant phentotype offspring
Mars2501 [29]

The dominance or recessivity associated with a particular allele is the result of masking, by which a dominant phenotype hides a recessive phenotype. By this logic, in heterozygous offspring only the dominant phenotype will be apparent.

hope this helps!

Help me past due Write down what you think will happen to the density of water if you add salt or sugar.
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

If I add sugar or salt, the water's density will increase.

Explanation:

Density is the relation between mass and volume. We can represent it with the formula δ= m/v. Where δ stans for density, m for mass,  v for volume.

If we add salt or sugar, we increase the mass, but the volume is the same. As a result, the density will increase.

We can use numbers to understand it better.

Suppose that before adding salt or sugar, the mass is 1 g and the volume is 1 l

δ= 1g/l1t

δ= 1 g/lt

Now, if we add sugar or salt, the mass increases. Suppose that we have 2g of mass and the volume is the same, 1l.

δ= 2g/1lt

δ= 2g/lt

We can see that the density increased when the mass increased.

Three genes control the production of tail structures in dogs. The wag1 gene promotes the production of tail structures. However
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1. <u>ntrdr</u> --><u> brken</u> --|  <u>wag1</u>  --> <u>Tail structures </u>

2. Yes

Explanation:

(1) In this experiment three different genes are present;

     1) Wag-1 - promotes production of tail structures

      2) brkn gene - inhibits Wag-1 which leads to inhibition or inactive Wag1 gene and there is no tail formation.

      3) ntrdr gene - stimulates the activity of brkn gene thus this in turn inhibits Wag-1 gene and results in inhibiting the tail formation.

(2) The ntrdr gene stimulates the brkn gene and active brkn gene inhibits the wag-1 gene. As we know Wag1 gene is essential for tail formation. on removing out ntrdr gene result in inactive gene brkn thus allows the expression of the Wag-1 gene allowing tail growth in dogs.

How do molecules like O2, CO2, and small hydrophobic molecules cross cell membranes?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:   Simple Diffusion Across the Cell (Plasma) Membrane

Explanation:

 pretty much the structure of the lipid bilayer allows small, uncharged substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, and hydrophobic molecules such as lipids, to pass through the cell membrane, down their concentration gradient, by simple diffusion.
