In the attached files you will find the sentences used to complete this problem, and their corresponding boxes.

Answer:

Mitosis:

Homologous chromosomes do not pair
One row of chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
The cell nucleus divide only once
Two diploid daughter cells form that are identical to their parental cells

Meiosis:

Each replicated chromosome pair with its corresponding homologous pair
Tetrads form, and crossing-over sometimes occur
Paired homologous chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
Four haploid daughter cells form that are not identical to their parental cells

Explanation:

There are two principal types of cells in the organism: Somatic diploid cells (2n) that reproduce by the process of mitosis, and germ cells that are diploid reproductive cells in charge of gamete production. These germ cells suffer both mitosis (to form more sexual cells) and meiosis (giving place to haploid gametes, called sperm and egg cells, through the gametogenesis process). Both somatic cells and germinal cells will end their cycle becoming two daughter cells with the same genetic dotation.

Gametes´destiny is to merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete cell from the structural point of view that suffer successive mitosis to form the new organism.

<u>Meiosis</u> is a process by which, from a diploid germ cell (2n), four daughter cells with a haploid chromosome number (n) are produced. Each daughter cell has half of the chromosomes of the original one. There are two phases in meiosis: the first one in which occurs a chromosome´s reduction division, and the second one where the cell suffers a new division, but this one is not a reductive one.

In the first phase, Meiosis I: Chromosomes condensate and became visible. Occurs crossing-over between homologous chromosomes in the equatorial plane. Crossin-over makes the daughter cells to be genetically different from the original one. After crossing-over, homologous chromosomes get separated again. Then occurs cytokinesis and chromosomes became lax again.
In the second phase, Meiosis II: Chromosomes condensate again, they join the spindle apparatus and migrate to the equatorial plane. Centromeres divide and each chromatid goes forward to each pole. Once in the poles the chromosomes became lax again and occur cytokinesis.

Mitosis is a process by which, from a diploid somatic cell (2n), two daughter diploid cells (2n) are produced. During mitosis, the cell duplicates and then separates. Mitosis occurs in only one phase. In the prophase, it occurs chromosomes condensation and nuclear membrane breaks. During the metaphase, fibers of the spindle apparatus capture chromosomes and take them toward the center of the cell, to the equatorial plane, where they line up. Each chromatid joins with a microtubule of opposites poles. Sister chromatids are held together until they reach the Anaphase, during which other enzymes are activated to break the bonds and separate the chromatids, which migrate to the opposite poles. In telophase, the duplicated chromosomes are already in the corresponding poles, and the nuclear membrane forms again in each pole. Finally, occurs cytokinesis.

Bacteria grow best in food that has a pH factor that is _____.

Andru [333]

Bacteria in general grow optimally when the pH is around 7 (5-9 let's say). That is not to say that there are not bacteria that grow in extremely acidic conditions, like in our stomach, or others in extremely basic conditions, like the conditions near volcanoes. Nonetheless, bacteria that grow in food prefer acidic environments over basic ones and usually cannot tolerate the acidity of fruits which is around 4 pH for the most acid ones. For example, stuff like milk and bread that have a pH from 5-6 are prime examples of food where bacteria would thrive. Thus, the correct answer would be b.

According to the food chain, label the following organisms appropriately. 1. secondary consumer cat 2. primary consumer grass 3.

-Dominant- [34]

The correct sequence is:

1 Producers ( grass ): The producers are the green plants that produce food for the consumers. Green plants are the producers and energy produced is transferred to primary consumers

2 Primary consumer (mouse): The primary consumers include bacteria and herbivores that feed on the green plants for their energy

3 Secondary consumer (cat): The secondary consumers include the cat and other small animals that feed on primary consumers

4 Tertiary consumer (wolf): The are the at the highest level of hierarchy and feed on secondary consumers for their food. Example wolf,eagle

Which body system or structure is responsible for the control and regulation of a person's breathing?

Elanso [62]

Answer: Nervous system

Explanation:

The cerebellum of the brain is the structure of the nervous system known to control various muscles of the body that are involved in involuntary activities such as breathing.

Thus, the nervous system controls and regulates a person's breathing

Which graph most likely represents a rabbit population that found a new larger habitat, but then eventually experienced an

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The graph illustrating such a phenomenon will show a sharp curve in upward manners in the beginning but then will grow downwards as the predation increases.

Explanation:

When a rabbit population is introduced in a habitat, the new habitat will have abundant food for the rabbits. As a result, the population of the rabbits will grow at a much faster rate and hence the graph will move sharply upwards in the beginning. But with the passage of time, the predators of the rabbits will also increase due to the abundance of their preys. More predators will feed on more rabbits and hence a slow decline in the curve will be seen afterwards.

Indicate whether each of the following occurs in the ER (E), Cytoplasm (C), Golgi apparatus (G), lysosome (L) or mitochondria (M

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

EELG

(1) Addition of the first GlcNAc oligosaccharides to the asparagine residue of a protein occurs in the Lumen of the Endopslamic Reticulum

(2) Synthesis of phosphatidylcholine occurs in the Endoplasmic Reticulum

(3) Degradation of misfolded ER protein ossurs in the Lysosome

(4) O-linked glycosylation occurs in the Golgiapparatus

Explanation:

1. The covalent attachment of a carbohydrate to a macromolecule such as proteins or lipids is known as glycosylation.

N-linked glycosylation is a very common form of glycosylation and it occurs in eukaryotes in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum.

The addition of the first GlcNAc oligosaccharides to the asparagine residue of a proteinmos an example of N-linked glycosylation.

2. Phosphatidylcholine is synthesized through the CDP-choline pathway which occurs at the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum. Choline entering the cell is immediately phosphorylated by choline kinase, converting choline to phosphocholine.

Phosphocholine is then converted to CDP-choline by the second enzyme in the pathway, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT).

The phosphocholine moiety is then added to diacylglycerol in a reaction catalyzed by CDP-choline:1,2-diacylgylcerol cholinephosphotransferase to complete the synthesis of phosphocholine.

3. Lysosomes are the cell organelles which are responsible for the breakdown of proteins as well as other components of the cell. Misfolded proteins are identified and transported to lysosomes through chaperone-mediated autophagy, macroautophagy and endocytosis, where they are then degraded.

4. O-linked glycosylation is a form of glycosylation that occurs in eukaryotes in the Golgi apparatus.
