Answer:
Explanation:
Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in the sex cells of organisms. It ensures the reduction of a diploid cell to an haploid cell to allow for the formation of a diploid zygote after fertilization (contribution of both parents haploid sex cells to give a diploid zygote). Thus, this process is very essential and important.
The reduction is accomplished by 2 divisions after the duplication of chromosomes
- first division: separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes (this reduces the total in half)
- second division: separation of sister chromatids of a chromosome.
The rearrangement in meiosis occurs by crossing over/genetic recombination.
This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous pairs of chromosome bringing about a rearrangement and genetic variation
An example of a chromosomal abnormality that arises as a result of defects in this process is the Down Syndrome which is caused by a nondisjunction of the chromosomes 21 pair in a sex cell.
This condition produces offsprings that have some characteristic facial features, short stature etc
Answer:
The given image shows - the Stomata that helps in maintaining homeostasis in the plants.
Explanation:
Stomata are the small structure resemble as tiny or pinholes that found on the underside of the leaves and play many roles in the plant. Stomata help in the gas exchange and also helps in transpiration. It allows oxygen a gas and water in vapor form from the leaves to the outer environment and let carbon dioxide inside the cell.
This system also helps in transpiration by closing and opening stomata with the help of their guard cell by becoming turgid and flaccid by osmotic pressure.
