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.

Which would be more likely to carry out endocytosis: a white blood cell engulfing foreign materials or a cell that excretes horm
Irina-Kira [14]

A white blood cell engulfing foreign materials is more likely to carry out Endocytosis.

Explanation:

  • Endocytosis is the process by which a cell takes up a macromolecule into is cytoplasm by forming a vessicle.
  • In the question two cases are given, both the cases involve the formation of membrane bound  vessicle but in different ways.
  • The excretion of hormones involves the movement of molecule outside the cytoplasm. This process is exocytosis.
  • The engulfment of an antigen by WBC involves taking up of molecule within the cell so that it can be killed and digested. Thus in  this case  Endocytosis is more likely to occur..

Which of the following statements
ivolga24 [154]

Hi, you've asked an Incomplete question. However, I provided a brief about cell theory.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The cell theory basically states that all living things are made of cells and that the cell is <u>the basic unit of life.</u> Robert Hooke, who was a Scientist is known to have originated (coined) the term “cell” in the year 1665.

Basic Facts about Cell theory:

  • the basic unit of life is the cell
  • all living things have one or more cells.
  • already existing cells produce all new cells.
