Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) transporting ions against an electrochemical gradient

B) cell-cell recognition

C) maintaining fluidity of the phospholipid bilayer

D) attaching to the cytoskeleton

E) establishing the diffusion barrier to charged molecules

The answer is B

Explanation:

Generally, oligosaccharides are short chains of polysaccharides/carbohydrates. They make up the structure of membranes including the plasma membrane. Oligosaccharides attached to the protein content of the cell membrane to form a substance called GLYCOPROTEIN. The attached oligosaccharides functions in the ability for a cell to recognize another cell.

According to this question, if an animal whose cell is lacking oligosaccharides on the external surface of its plasma membrane, the most likely impairment would be that of CELL-CELL recognition.

Meiosis is sometimes called reduction division. what does this mean and why is it important
vaieri [72.5K]
Meiosis is a kind of cell division. It will lead to 4 daughter cells which each has only half of their chromosomes comparing to the parent. The end product has less chromosomes than the original that's why it's called reduction division.

Meiosis is important because the products are usually seen in gametes, which is sperms and eggs. If they get fertilized, they will form a zygote, and this is reproduction. Meiosis makes sure that the zygote has the right number of chromosomes, like half and half equals the correct amount chromosomes the organism should have. This also leads to diversity which is very important and a must in sexual reproduction.
