Give an example of how an organism can use surface tension?

1 answer:

3 0

Insects, such as water striders, and spiders, such as fisher spiders, can glide or scamper across the surface of water. These critters are small enough that their weight can be supported almost entirely by surface tension, the relatively weak forces that hold water molecules together.

Surface tension of water helps creatures(mostly of insecta class such as water striders) to walk on water. ... it also helps water to move up the xylem tissue of higher plants without breaking up

Which event occurs once in meiosis?

Brrunno [24]

Crossing over in germinal cells during gametogenesis is one of the primary causes of this variance. In humans, gametes are generated during meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number to 23.

One cell divides twice during meiosis to create four daughter cells. These four daughter cells are haploid, meaning they have half the amount of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis generates sex cells or gametes? (eggs in females and sperm in males).

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes are paired, resulting in gene recombination.

Non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material, resulting in novel allele combinations.
