Answer:

Because it has a double division, it's like a double mitosis process

Explanation:

As you can see in the image below, meiosis has a larger process than mitosis, and it results in 4 new cells. Actually, the first part of the process is very similar to mitosis, but the next part is the second division and thats the moment when new cells result just with half chromosomes.

In fact, meiosis is the reproduction process of sexual cells, and these cells need to have just half chromosome, because when a fetus is formed by an ovule and a spermatozoon (both of them just with half chromosomes) the genetic information is gonna be complete and not duplicated.

poliinators and flagellated sperm

Explanation:

Cycads (phylum Cycadophyta) together with Ginkgophyta, Gnetophyta, Pinophyta, Pteridospermales and Cordaitales belong to the gymnosperms (naked seed-producing plants). They are different than angiosperms which produce encased seeds within an ovary.

Cycads (but also Ginkgo) produce swimming sperm that is different than all other groups which produce sperm without swimming flagella.

Also, unlike other groups of gymnosperms, cycads have specialized pollinators, beetls.

What are the functions of carbohydrates, peripheral proteins, and cholesterol in the cell membrane?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Some of these proteins serve to transport materials into or out of the cell. Carbohydrates are attached to some of the proteins and lipids on the outward-facing surface of the membrane. These form complexes that function to identify the cell to other cells.
