Which is true regarding the process of meiosis I?

Biology
1 answer:
sashaice [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: The correct option is A (chromosome Number is reduced from diploid to haploid)

Explanation:

In sexual reproduction, offspring are produced by fusion of two different sex cells which usually come from two different parents. These sex cells are know as gametes.

Meiosis is a type of cell division that gives rise to gametes in which the chromosome number is halved. Thus, the gamete cell is said to contain a haploid number (n) of chromosomes.

A diploid cell has two sets of chromosomes: one from the male parent and the other from the female parent. When a diploid cell undergoes meiosis the following occurs:

--> the chromosomes replicate once and

--> the nucleus and cell duplicate ( divide equally) twice.

As a result, the diploid parent cell gives rise to four haploid gamete cells. Therefore the statement "chromosome Number is reduced from diploid to haploid ' is true concerning meiosis I.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer: The oxygen content of the water decreases

Explanation:

The sun shining on a tidal pool during a hot day heats the water, causing some water to evaporate. Because the water has become warmer and saltier, the oxygen content of the water decreases.

The temperature and the salt content of a body of water determines how much oxygen it can hold.

The oxygen content of warm water decreases because the temperature of the water causes the water molecules to move faster. This leads to the expulsion of oxygen from the water, making it contain less oxygen.

Also, salty water will lead to a decrease in oxygen because of the presence of sodium chloride ions.

Therefore, a warmer and saltier water will contain a less amount of oxygen.

Which best explains why water boils in a pot sitting over fire?
natima [27]

Answer: Thermal energy from the fire moves to the water in the form of heat.

Because according to second law of thermodynamic, heat flows from higher to lower temperature region. Heat is the transfer of energy from an object at higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature. so energy flows from warmer to colder objects

Darwin realized that the often exquisite fit of species to their environment is primarily the result of
bagirrra123 [75]
Natural Selection.
An easy and important way to remember this is by thinking of a species - let’s say a bright white moth. For ages, these moths have survived beautifully, matching perfectly with the white tree bark they live on, until one day, a smoky building begins pumping its soot into the air. This air begins to change the color of the tree bark to black and the once hidden white moths are now plainly visible to birds who eat them easily. Fortunately, every now and then a moth is born who is darker than the rest - black as soot even. And so, the birds keep eating the white moths but missing the soot-colored ones. As time goes by, the soot-colored moths produce more and more similarly colored moths, who are well hidden from the birds AND after enough time, the only moths that remain are soot-colored. This is why so many species “fit” exquisitely into their environment. They have ALL adapted in some way similar to the soot-colored moth.
