Why is it necessary for each gemete to contain only half as many chromosomes as a body cell

Biology

PilotLPTM [1.2K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

This is for the offspring to show traits that come from both the mother and father.

Explanation:

Gametes are formed by a kind of cell division called meiosis in which the chromosome number is halved. Thus the said gamete cell is said to contain a haploid number of chromosomes.

The fusion of two haploid gametes is called fertilization. It results in the formation of single celled zygote which has a diploid number of chromosomes. The zygote now divides and develops to produce the offsprings whose somatic cells are diploid.

A box weighs 34 N on Earth. What is the mass of the box? 3.47 kg 333.2 kg 115.6 kg 10 kg
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that weight is equal to mass times acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically,           Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

Since, it is given that weight is 34 N and it is known value of g is 9.8 m/s.

Therefore, calculate mass of the box as follows.

                    Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

                       34 N = mass × 9.8 m/s

                     mass = 3.47 kg

Hence, we can conclude that mass of the box is 3.47 kg.

Look at the population pyramid. What conclusion can you draw from it?
balu736 [363]

c. Birth rates are high      

Explanation:

A wide base in the population pyramid shows that there is a large population of young people with high fertility rate or birth rate and high death rate.

From the graph, it can also be concluded that narrow tip at the top shows that lesser older people are in the population.

This pyramid shown in the diagram is a triangular age pyramid. In this type of pyramid the pre-reproductive individuals are high   reproductive individual are moderate and non-reproducing individual is less. In such pyramid we find population grows.

Suppose in a family of ten 6 are pre-reproductive, 2 moderate reproductive and 2 post-reproductive. We will see the in the course of moderate and post-reproductive will die and those six of pre-reproducing age will increase the population.
