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.

What product do all three reactions in Model 2 have in common?

belka [17]

Answer;

-They all provide water

Explanation;

In reaction A, the reactants are glucose and fructose , and the products are Sucrose and water. This is a condensation reaction, following the combination of two monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) forming a dissaccharide (sucrose) and water.

In reaction B, the reactants are two amino acids, that results to formation of a dipeptide and water; this is also a condensation reaction joining two amino acids monomers, to form a dipeptide and water.

-In reaction C, a monoglyceride combines with a fatty acid to form a diglyceride and water. This is also an example of a condensation reaction that results to formation of a diglyceride and water.

Therefore, the similarity of all the reactions is that they are all condensation reactions, with water as a common product.

You've just read a research project titled: "Prolonged cell phone use causes brain tumors."

kvasek [131]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) number of patients with brain tumors</em>

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, an independent variable is a variable which is being changed by the scientist or changes naturally. The effect of the independent variable is studied on another variable which is termed as the dependent variable. Hence, the dependent variable can be described as the variable which is under study in a scientific experiment.

In the following scenario, as the effect of prolonged cell phones is being tested on causing brain tumors hence, the number of patients with brain tumors will be the dependent variable.

The rotation is responsible for what we call _________; the tilt on the axis influences the ________.

masya89 [10]

Well basically rotation causes Night and Day. The earth tilts on a 23.5 degree tilt and that is also a big part of day and night. Seasons are also affected by the tilt. When the earth is tilted towards the sun, it’s summer when it’s tilted away from the sun, it’s winter

Pus in a body cavity, especially the pleural cavity is called:

rusak2 [61]

The pleural cavity is the thin fluid-filled space between the two pulmonary pleurae (known as visceral and parietal) of each lung. A pleura is a serous membrane which folds back onto itself to form a two-layered membranouspleural sac. The outer pleura (parietal pleura) is attached to the chest wall, but is separated from it by the endothoracic fascia. The inner pleura (visceral pleura) covers the lungs and adjoining structures, including blood vessels, bronchi and nerves. The pleural cavity can be viewed as a potential space because the two pleurae adhere to each other (through the thin film of serous liquid) under all normal conditions.
