Why do gametes contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells?

Biology
1 answer:
Marat540 [252]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because meoisis division occurs in gamates which are sperm cell and egg cell . And in meoisis division the number of chromosomes for the daughter cells is half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell have. This is because when there is a fussion of male and female sex cells ,the zygote which is the daughter cell should have the 46 chromosomes which is the normal chromosomes for humans and when this chromosomes are in pairs then they should be in 23 pairs of chromosomes which are haploid and later be used for another cycle when the person matures and ready to reproduce

Peripheral resistance depends on all of the following factors except __________.
pantera1 [17]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

blood vessel length

blood viscosity

blood vessel diameter

blood colloid osmotic pressure

Answer:

blood colloid osmotic pressure

Explanation:

  • Peripheral resistance is the resistance to blood flow by blood vessels.
  • It is directly proportional to blood vessel length as more the distance to travel, more will be the resistance.
  • It is also directly proportional to blood viscosity as more energy is required to push viscous material.
  • It is indirectly proportional to blood vessel diameter. More the diameter of the vessel, easier it is for the blood to pass.
  • However, it does not depend on blood colloid osmotic pressure. Colloid osmotic pressure is created by the protein components of blood and they do not have any direct impact on blood flow.
