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.

What are roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem​
Daniel [21]
An organism that obtains energy and nutrients by feeding on other organisms or their remains. A food web is a model of the feeding relationships between many different consumers and producers in an ecosystem. Without plants (the primary producers) consumers and decomposers would not be able to live. Producers always start every food chain. A consumer, also called a heterotroph, is an organism that cannot make its own food. It must eat producers or other organisms for energy.

The two most common sites of bone marrow collection in an adult are the _______________ and _________________.
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: Pelvic and sternum

Explanation:

bone marrow biopsy is a procedure that is used to obtain bone marrow usually with syringe for evaluation of various blood cells( leucocytes, erythrocytes ) and also for examination for different blood disesases such as leukemias and lymphomas and diagnose some genetic conditions. The common site for a bone marrow biopsy is the large pelvic bone near the hip and also some samples taken from the sternum (breastbone).

A bone marrow examination or test consists of two separate tests that are done at the same time namely:

1. Bone marrow aspiration that helps collect sample of the liquid portion of the bone marrow

2. Bone marrow biopsy that obtains a sample of the solid material.

Which carbohydrate is found in plant cell walls and is indigestible for mammals and other animals ?
Margarita [4]

The indigestible carbohydrates that are found in plant cell walls are called dietary fibers. Dietary fibers are group of complex carbohydrates that is found mostly in vegetables, fruits and legumes. They include beans, whole grains such as wheat, nuts etc. Dietary fibers cannot be digested in mammals because the body lacks digestive enzyme that is required to break them down.
