Answer:

Meiosis is a process in which sex cells, also known as gametes are made. Meiosis is different from mitosis in a lot of ways, one being that mitosis creates identical daughter cells and meiosis creates unique daughter cells. Meiosis is important because it allow for the creation of a meiosis nucleus. Cells produced by meiosis will be used in haploid, where each member of the next generation is genetically unique.

Cells produced in sexual reproduction will have half of the genetic information of body cells and will be genetically unique. This is necessary because when a sperm and an egg fuse together in sexual reproduction. They form a zygote: the first body of a new individual.

The new individual will now have cells that are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. They zygote will have to do a lot of mitosis allowing it to grow quickly and ensure that all of its cells are genetically unique.

an organism had 8 chromosomes in its body cells. how many chromosomes will be in the body cells of the offspring?

larisa [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

I am assuming that this organism reproduces sexually. The body cell of the offspring will be the same as the parent. The reproductive cell of the organism will have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cell.

So if the parent has 8 chromosomes in its body cells then the offspring will have 8 chromosomes in its body cells.

The answer is Urine specific gravity less than 1.025. Because the exact gravity is less than 1.025 after treatment, the outcome is measured positive. In syndrome of unsuitable antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), the specific gravity is greater than 1.025. Small cell lung cancer is a risk factor of SIADH.
