Determine whether each statement describes mitosis, melosis, or both mitosis and melosis.

Biology
1 answer:
Kruka [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks statements, the statements and the answers are as follows:

occurs in organisms that sexually reproduce - MEIOSIS

occurs during growth and development - MITOSIS

the DNA is replicated - MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

occurs in all organisms - MITOSIS

the number of chromosomes remains the same - MITOSIS

the number of chromosomes reduces by half - MEIOSIS

Explanation:

Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cellular divisions that occur in living cells. Mitosis involves the formation of two (2) daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis involves the formation of four (4) daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell.

The following are characteristics of the two division processes based on this question:

MITOSIS:

- It occurs during growth and development of an organism.

- it involves DNA replication

- it occurs in all organisms since every living organism undergoes growth and development.

- the number of chromosomes after mitosis remains the same in the daughter cell i.e. 2n remains 2n

MEIOSIS:

- It occurs only in organisms that sexually reproduce.

- it also involves the replication of DNA

- The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half i.e. 2n to n.

The Great Electron Chase: Describe the flow of electrons from rain falling on your strawberry garden into the strawberry plant (
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

As the rain water is absorbed by the strawberry roots to the leaves, the first step of light independent stage of photosynthesis; Photolysis takes place.

                               H20 = 2H+ + 2e + 2O2.

Generally, the chlorophyll is made up of primary and accessory pigments in its photosystems I and II. These photosystems emitted their electrons through photo activation; these are picked up by electron acceptors; for photophosphorylation in ATPs synthesis. Therefore, these photosystems are positively charged. Hence, PI takes electrons from P II (since it is Cyclic photophosphorylation).Thus P1 is now stabilized, why PII is unstable. To regain its stability, it replaces its lost electrons from the electron of photolysis of water above. This is the electron from the rain water on the (stored in chlorophyll) strawberry. The electron from PI combines with H+and picked up by NAD to NADH. (2H+2e+NADP= NADH).

When the strawberry is consumed, it undergoes digestion and its cellulose metabolized to glucose (the electrons are trapped in the elements C,H,O in the glucose) which flows into the blood stream. As the individual undergoes cellular respiration the glucose with its electrons are the substrate. The glucose, undergoes substrate level phosphorylation (Glycolysis).These electrons are transferred from glucose to the new elements in pyruvate as glucose moves from one stage to another. The electrons are also transferred as part of  H picked up by NAD to NADH. They are transferred from pyruvate to Acetyl, as the latter forms Acetyl Co A with coenzyme A.  

The Acetyl CoA, enters the Krebs’s Cycle, and as, moves from one step to another, these electrons are transferred from one intermediate to another. They are eventually transferred by NADH, FADH2 into the matrix of the mitochondria, where they splits from hydrogen atoms, and carried by electron carriers. As they move from one carries to another, PMF is generated which pumps the H+ across into the inner membranes, to generate the electrochemical gradients for ATPs synthesis, as the protons returns to the matrix.

When these electrons reached the end of the carrier molecule, they are accepted by oxygen the final electron acceptor, to form water. These electrons is transported as water, to the kidney where they are pass through the stages of glomerular filtration, reabsorption, secretion before they are emptied in urine as waste.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The digestion process will slow down.

Explanation:

Pancreas is located on the abdomen just behind the stomach. Pancreas releases various enzymes that helps in the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

The impairment and deficiency of the pancreas enzyme affects the digestion process as the food is not completely digested and broken down into simple amino acids. The improper digestion can cause severe gastric problems in the individual.

Which environmental change occurs fastest?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Volcanic Eruption

Explanation:

The environmental change that occurs faster is definitely volcanic eruption. It may happen in an instant and destroy everything in its way, whereas the process of regrowth of forest after volcanic eruption is a slow one." Oil spills may also have the fastest occurring changes in the environment.2
