Please tell me as much as you can about non-disjunction and the consequences of non-disjunction at meiosis 1 versus meiosis 2

Biology
1 answer:
QveST [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer/Explanation:

Nondisjunction is when homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to properly separate during meiosis. This means daughter cells have an incorrect set of chromosomes.

Nondisjunction occurs during meiosis I or II, with different results in each. The outcomes at either meiosis i or meiosis ii are shown in the attached picture (nondisjunction at meiosis ii on the left (blue arrow) and nondisjunction at meiosis i on the right (dark green arrow)

Nondisjunction during meiosis i

Nondisjunction during meiosis i occurs when homologous chromosomes fail to properly separate. This results in two gametes without that chromosome, and two gametes with two copies of that chromosome. This is wrong, as each gamete should have one copy.

Nondisjunction during meiosis ii

If the sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis II (the homologous chromosomes have already successfully separated), then there will be two normal gametes that have one copy of the chromosome (correct), one gamete will not have that chromosome, and one gamete with two copies of the chromosome.

Which of the following statements is true about the glycocalyx? Check All That Apply
olga nikolaevna [1]

From the options, the true statements about glycocalyx are : ( 1 ) and ( 3 )

  • All animal cell have a glycocalyx ( 1 )
  • The glycocalyx helps one cell adhere to another ( 3 )

Glycocalyx is a layer of macromolecules  attached to the cell membrane of cells. they perform several functions like protecting the cell from the entrance of pathogens and also providing a medium for cell to cell interaction.

Glycocalyx are found in cells of living organisms, and they are made up of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and glycoproteins as well. hence they are not comprised mostly of proteins.

Hence we can conclude that the true statements about glycocalyx are : All animal cell have a glycocalyx and the glycocalyx helps one cell adhere to another

Why is pyruvic acid never the end product of fermentation
Igoryamba

Answer:

Pyruvic acid is not the end product of fermentation because in fermentation the pyruvic acid is converted into alcohol/lactic acid and carbon dioxide. There are two types of fermentation alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvate is converted into ethanol and CO2 for example in yeast and in lactic acid fermentation pyruvate is converted into lactic acid and CO2 for example in animals muscles.

Therefore in fermentation pyruvic acid is not the end product of fermentation. In fermentation 2 ATP is produced.

What happens to the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels of a plant when it does or does not have light?
zubka84 [21]

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis, but oxygen is needed for cellular respiration. Assuming there is still oxygen then the plants will produce carbon dioxide and some of it will be reabsorbed by photosynthesis during daylight. However, ultimately there wouldn’t be enough carbon dioxide for the plants to grow and they will start to die. Some plants have evolved a C4C4 photosynthesis pathway so they only require a small amount of CO2CO2 to survive, however they do still require more than zero CO2CO2.

So basically you killed off all the plants and all the other non-microbial life died of starvation shortly afterward.

Hope it helps...!! Please mark as brainliest
