Answer:

MEIOSIS:

- Each replicated chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome

- Tetrads form and crossing over sometimes occur

- Paired homologous chromosome line up across the center of the cell.

- Four haploid daughter cells form that are not identical to the parent cell

MITOSIS:

- Homologous chromosomes do not pair

- One row of chromosomes line up at the center of the cell.

- The cell nucleus divides only once

- Two diploid daughter cells form that are identical to the parent cell.

Explanation:

Mitosis and Meiosis are the two cellular divisions that occur in living organisms. Mitosis is the kind of cell division that produces two diploid daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while Meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells (gametes) that are genetically different from the parent cell.

Based on the general description of the two cell divisions above, the following events take place in them respectively:

1) MEIOSIS:

- Each replicated chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome (similar but non-identical chromosome from each parent).

- Tetrads form and crossing over sometimes occur. Tetrads are the structures that form when two homologous chromosomes pair while crossing over is the exchange of chromosome segment between two non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. These two only occur during meiosis.

- Paired homologous chromosome line up across the center of the cell during metaphase I of meiosis.

- Four haploid daughter cells form that are not identical to the parent cell. Note that meiosis reduces the chromosomal number of the parent cell by half.

2) MITOSIS:

- Homologous chromosomes do not pair during mitosis.

- One row of replicated chromosomes (sister chromatids) line up at the center of the cell during metaphase.

- The cell nucleus divides only once in mitosis as opposed to twice during meiosis.

- Two diploid daughter cells form that are identical to the parent cell. Note that mitosis retains the chromosomal number of the parent cell.

Modern fishing practices threaten biodiversity mainly through the _______.

FinnZ [79.3K]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Modern fishing practices threaten biodiversity mainly through the removal of community food supplies. When people remove a significant amount of fish, portions of the food web are disturbed and can affect a certain ecosystem.

Which is a feature of a tonic receptor? Select one: a. The action potential occurs when there is a change in response to a chang

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

For this receptor, the stimulus begins with an explosion of action potentials.

that would be the correct option.

Explanation:

A tonic receptor is one that is activated when the action potentials were maintained over time and during the signaling of the receptor.

Tone receptors require continuous stimulation over a period of time to trigger a response and deliver it to the central nervous system.

It keeps the nervous system constantly active in the environment that surrounds it.

They are slowly adaptable, an example of these receptors are the merkel and ruffini receptors.

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents?

WITCHER [35]

Answer: They create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.

The temperature and salinity has a major impact on water current of oceanic water. The warm water is usually less denser than colder water, so it remains at the surface of water body, whereas the colder water being more in density remain in a depth. The salinity of cold water is more than the warm water.

According to the above explanation, they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them is the correct explanation.

Give one example of a parasitic fungi and explain how it affects human health.

Zarrin [17]

Answer: Many pathogenic fungi are parasitic in humans and are known to cause diseases of humans and other animals. In humans, parasitic fungi most commonly enter the body through a wound in the epidermis (skin). Such wounds may be insect punctures or accidentally inflicted scratches, cuts, or bruises. One example of a fungus that causes disease in humans is Claviceps purpurea, the cause of ergotism (also known as St. Anthony’s fire), a disease that was prevalent in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, particularly in regions of high rye-bread consumption. The wind carries the fungal spores of ergot to the flowers of the rye, where the spores germinate, infect and destroy the ovaries of the plant, and replace them with masses of microscopic threads cemented together into a hard fungal structure shaped like a rye kernel but considerably larger and darker. This structure, called an ergot, contains a number of poisonous organic compounds called alkaloids. A mature head of rye may carry several ergots in addition to noninfected kernels. When the grain is harvested, much of the ergot falls to the ground, but some remains on the plants and is mixed with the grain. Although modern grain-cleaning and milling methods have practically eliminated the disease, the contaminated flour may end up in bread and other food products if the ergot is not removed before milling. In addition, the ergot that falls to the ground may be consumed by cattle turned out to graze in rye fields after harvest. Cattle that consume enough ergot may suffer abortion of fetuses or death. In the spring, when the rye is in bloom, the ergot remaining on the ground produces tiny, black, mushroom-shaped bodies that expel large numbers of spores, thus starting a new series of infections.
