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.

What about the structure of atp makes it useful as the energy currency of cells?
Lelechka [254]
It has a high energy phosphate bonds, due to the large amount of electrorepulsive force between the highly negative force between the highly negatively charged phosphate groups. Energy is usually liberated from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate-oxygen groups, leaving adenosine diphosphate (ADP). When this happens, the ATP is said to be spent.
