Honey Bees have a much different social and reproductive structure as compared to humans.

Biology
1 answer:
djyliett [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Unlike the queen bee, which has 32 chromosomes, drones have half the chromosomal charge (n= 16), so they are considered haploid.

Explanation:

The system of determination of the sex in the bees —like in other insects— is called haplodiploidy, and consists of which the females of the species possess complete charge of chromosomes, whereas the males only possess half. This is what happens with the queen bee with 32 chromosomes, while drones only have 16 chromosomes, so they are considered haploid.

Additionally, as a characteristic of haplodiploidy, males only proceed from female gametes, so they can only contribute gametes to produce females of the species.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>Drones, with half of the chromosomal charge, </em><u><em>cannot be diploid</em></u><em>. </em>
  • <u><em>Monosomy and trisomy</em></u><em> are defects in the distribution of chromosomes during meiosis, which imply one chromosome less or one chromosome more in the normal chromosome charge respectively.</em>

How does our understanding of genetics today refute lamarck's principle of the inheritance of acquired characteristics?
likoan [24]
Genetical experiments suggest that traits acquired during a person's lifetime are not inherited as proposed by Lamarck's theory that traits acquired or changed over an individual's lifetime could be passed on to its offspring. Through experiments, scientists through many observations and real examples that changes that often occur in an animal's life are not passed down to it's offspring.

When an organism such as a yeast lives by fermentation, it converts the pyruvate from glycolysis into a different compound, such
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The conversion is needed to regenerate the molecules needed for glycolysis

Explanation:

Fermentation is a metabolic process by which microorganisms generate ATP by the anaerobic (without oxygen) degradation of organic nutrients. Fermentation allows to microorganisms convert carbohydrates into alcohol or acid. During glycolysis, two NAD+ molecules are reduced and glucose molecules are split into two pyruvate molecules, thereby producing two NADH molecules and two ATP molecules. During fermentation, pyruvate molecules are metabolized to different compounds because the energy stored in the pyruvate molecules is unavailable to the cell. In fermentation, NADH from glycolysis is oxidized back to NAD+ by being used to reduce pyruvate or a pyruvate derivative.

When cell division is complete, compare the amount of chromosomes in each daughter cell to the original cell?
BabaBlast [244]
The two kinds of basic cell division include mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosis is where a parent cell divides and produces 2 genetically indentical daughters cells. So this means that when the cell division is complete, the number and even the sequence of chromosomes is exactly same as the original parent cell.

And in meiosis, also called reduction division, is where the parent cell divides and produces 4 genetically different daughter cells, which has only half of the number of chromosomes than that of the original parent cell. This process has to go through 2 times of divisions.

Mitosis is usually seen in most somatic cells, it is very important to activities such as growth, repair etc. Meanwhile, meiosis is seen in gametes, and its important for sexual reproduction.
