why does the meiosis produce cells with only half the amount of DNA? How does this aid in the formation of a healthy zygote?

Meiosis produces cells (germ cells or gametes) with only half the DNA, or chromosomes, as normal cells (somatic cells). This is called haploid or referred to as "n" number of chromosomes. Normal body cells have doubke that, called "2n," or diploid. For humans our n = 23, so germ cells (haploid) have only 23 chromosomes, while somatic (normal body) cells have "2n" or 46 chromosomes. It is important to only carry half the number of chromosomes or DNA (n), because it is going to combine with another half (n) when sperm meets egg during fertilization. This n + n = 2n restores the diploid number of chromosomes (DNA) in a zygote, the first cell of a future embryo, fetus, and new human being.

Maurinko [17]

Answer;

As liquid water freezes, the molecules arrange themselves in a way that takes up more space than liquid water. What would most likely occur if the arrangement of frozen water molecules required less space than that of liquid water molecules? A).The density of ice would be greater than the density of liquid water, and ice would not float. B). Ice would form in layers, and liquid water would get trapped in between the layers. Liquid water would have a higher specific heat, making it less likely to undergo vaporization. C).The freezing point of water would decrease, making ice more difficult to form.

Please help with these questions :)
Verdich [7]
Answer and explanation

1. Cloning differs from budding as it generates a genetically identical COPY of a cell or organism while budding produces a genetically identical offspring.
2. Firstly it can take place quickly, allowing the pioneer species to establish themselves in their new habitat, out competing slowly -reproducing species.
Secondly since all the offspring are genetically alike, it ensures that if the parents are successful in their habitat, the offspring will also be successful, provided environmental conditions do not change .
3. Plant cloning uses one of the plant organs can be roots , stem and etc ..while animal cloning only uses a single cell

3. The time between the end of ventricular systole to the beginning of atrial systole.
amid [387]

Answer:

The time between the end of ventricular systole to the beginning of atrial systole is 100 ms or 0.1 seconds.

Explanation:

Ventricular systole is the removal of blood from the heart by pumping through aorta and pulmonary vein. Both aorta and pulmonary vein receive the blood from the heart. Aorta receives oxygenated blood and pulmonary vein receive deoxygenated blood, while atrial systole is the addition of blood into the ventricular from vena cava and pulmonary artery due to contraction of heart. This process occurs in 100 ms.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: (c) seed type

Explanation:

An independent variable is the one which can be altered or manually manipulated in an experiment. The effect of such manipulation can be examined on the dependent variable of the experiment. The dependent variable cannot be manipulated in an experiment instead it is the outcome of the experiment.

The seed type is the correct answer because the seed type can vary and the effect of which can be examined on the seed germination process and rate of seed germination.

What cell organelle can be seen changing position in the moving cytoplasm of elodea?
Tom [10]
<span>Once the cytoplasm of the amoeba is moving, all the cells in the said cytoplasm will move as well. Consequently all the cell organelles can be seen changing positions. The cytoplasm’s ability to move is dependent on the entire composition of cell organelles that make up the said cytoplasm.</span>
