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
Haploid refers to the presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism's cells.
Answer: All proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
PH changes protein structure if the pH level is below seven which is acidic and or above seven which is basic. The best condition for the enzyme to work is the pH of seven this is where the protein carries out its function and is not denatured. It fits into the enzyme
Answer:
b) inhibits, activates
Explanation:
During the rhythmic ativity of sleep, thalamocortical neuron activity inhibits neuron activity, that in turn, activates thalamocortical activity.
