True or False: Meiosis halves the chromosome number, whereas mitosis maintains the same chromosome number.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Meiosis is the kind of cell division that results in the production of daughter cells with each cell having half number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is the cell division employed by reproductive cells to produce gametes/sex cells. Meiosis occurs in two stages i.e. Meiosis I and II. The chromosome number reduces by half in gametes in order to ensure that after fertilization of both male and female gamete, the resulting organism has the correct set of chromosomes. e.g diploid organism produces haploid gametes which fuses to produce a diploid organism again.

Mitosis is another type of cell division that results in identical daughter cells. They are identical in the sense that they possess the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell that divided. For example, a diploid cell undergoes mitosis to produce two diploid daughter cells.

What are the types of selection and how do they alter biodiversity?

Rina8888 [55]

Answer: Hello :)

Explanation: Speciation and the three selections (directional, disruptive, and stabilizing) all affect biodiversity. ... The affects of this are the evolution of a new species, genetic variation, and an increase in biodiversity. Stabilizing selection is a process by which average individuals in a population are favored.

One of the grand challenges in biology is understanding how the first cells formed on Earth. Since all cells are bound by a cell

coldgirl [10]

<h2>Answer is option "A"</h2>

Explanation:

Oils and fats, which in science are called lipids, are known as amphipathic molecules. These molecules have two distinct ends to them: a water-loving (hydrophilic) side and a water-fearing (hydrophobic) side. While the hydrophilic sides of a lipid will associate with the water in a solution, the hydrophobic sides of the lipid all cluster together to 'hide' from the water. Lipids therefore cluster together and form spheres where the hydrophobic sides are in the center away from the water while the hydrophilic sides are on the outside, associating with the water.
The ability of the atoms within a group to form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules around them makes them hydrophilic. Oxygen and nitrogen atoms readily form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, so any organic molecules that have oxygen or nitrogen atoms bound to their carbon skeletons will be hydrophilic.
For example, if we take the molecule for cholesterol, we see the OH group on the left is hydrophilic and will form hydrogen bonds with water, while the ring structures, which only consist of hydrogen and carbon atoms, are hydrophobic and will not associate with the water.
There are many different kinds of lipids with different functions. Lets start by examining phospholipids, which compose the cell membranes of animals. They form lipid bilayers, with one set of hydrophilic heads facing the exterior of the cell membrane and the other set facing the interior (as you can see on the diagram on screen). The hydrophobic portions of the lipid bilayer - the lipid tails - face towards one another, which allows them to hide away from the water inside and outside of the cell.
So,the right answer is option A "amphipathic molecules".

How are climate change and global warning related?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

So Global warming is the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Climate change is the increasing changes in the measures of climate over a long period of time.

This includes : precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns.

Hopes this helps :)
