During meiosis but not during mitosis, which of the following is true? __.
A haploid gametes are produced that are identical in their allelic composition
B the cytoplasm divides
C chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase
D genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased
E two identical daughter cells are produced
Answer:
D. genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased
Explanation:
Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. Meiosis occurs in germ cells, as a result; genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased. These cells (germ cells) are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.
In meiosis, the haploid gametes that are produced are not identical in their allelic composition.
In prophase 1, the chromosome pair up.
During metaphase, The chromosome pairs line up next to each other along the center (equator) of the cell.
Answer:
Blood is carried away from the heart by arteries. Blood that is rich in oxygen. Blood that is low in oxygen is returned to the heart by veins. there is more pressure in arteries than in veins.
the role of plants in carbon cycle
Explanation:
the amount of CO2 found in the atmosphere varies over the course of a year. much of this variation happens because of the role of plants in carbon cycle...respiration occurs all the time, but domains during the colder months of the year, resulting in higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere during those months.
Answer: True
Explanation:
<u>A cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer made of polar phosphate head and a nonpolar lipid tail.</u> It is semipermeable and regulates the transport of materials through it. For this,<u> it is selectively permeable</u> and since it is made of lipids, hydrophobic and small polar molecules can diffuse easily through it by simple diffusion and down their concentration gradient. However, polar molecules, large molecules (such as glucose) and ions are not able to pass through it because they are repelled.
To accomplish the transport of these molecules that can not diffuse, proteins embebbed in the membrane function as carriers that enable the transport of polar molecules, large molecules and ions by passive (through facilitated diffusion, down its concentration gradient) or active transport (movement against its concentration gradient).
The type of bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is NON POLAR COVALENT BOND.
Covalent bond involves sharing of atoms between two elements; each element will donate electrons which will be equally shared by the elements involved. In the case of carbon and hydrogen, carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell, therefore it will form a covalent bond with four atoms of hydrogen each of which will donate one electron.
