What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis

Biology
1 answer:
musickatia [10]3 years ago
5 0
Meiosis has two rounds of genetic separation and cellular division while mitosis only has one of each. In meiosis homologous chromosomes separate leading to daughter cells that are not genetically identical. In mitosis the daughter cells are identical to the parent as well as to each other.

Solnce55 [7]
Since the blood is already separated form the cellular components and the plasma, blood typing can be a challenge if the medical technologist does not know the theory. Antigens are membrane proteins on the red blood cells. There are 2 types of antigens namely the A antigen and B antigen. Blood types are according to the antigen present in the red blood cells. Blood type O has no antigens in the red cell surface, blood type A has A antigen, blood type B has B antigen, and blood type AB has both A and B antigens. In identifying the antigen, the researcher should extract the cellular components rather the plasma. The plasma, on the other hand, contains antibodies.

A purple-flowered pea plant is crossed with a white-flowered pea plant. All the F1 plants produced purple flowers. When the F1 p
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Parentals: PP (purple) and pp (white)

F1: Pp (purple)

Explanation:

When the two parental plants of differing phenotypes (purple or white flowers) cross, the F1 is 100% purple. This result suggests that the parentals were true breeding (homozygous), with purple flowers being the dominant allele.

When the F1 self pollinates, the F2 shows proportions very similar to 3/4 purple and 1/4 white (401/532 ≅ 3/4 and 131/532 ≅ 1/4). The 3:1 phenotypic ratio is typical of the offspring resulting from a cross between two heterozygous individuals.

The results make sense if the genotypes of the different generations are:

Parentals: PP (purple) X pp (white)

F1:                          Pp (purple)

F2:  1/4 PP, 2/4 Pp, 1/4 pp

Phantasy [73]
Pinching in of fluids by a unicellular organism is the process of pinocytosis or fluid endocytosis. The cell takes in surrounding fluids, including all of the substances available, without differentiating. It is a non-specific process. The membrane of the unicellular organism elongates, captures the fluid and small vesicles are pinched off intracellularly. These vesicles then are processed by the organelles of the cell.

A _______ is a segment of a chromosome that codes for a specific protein.
Alex Ar [27]
<span>The correct answer is gene. Genes are carriers of the genetic material that get transferred from a parent to an offspring after sexual reproduction. If the proteins and the codes are synthesized badly, things like genetic disorders are created and these are diseases that get transferred from a parent to a child like Huntington's disease or anything similar.</span>
