Pollen and Ovules are gametes. How many chromosomes would they have compared to the rest of the plant's body cells? What process

made them that way?

Svetlanka [38]3 years ago

Answer:

a. They would have half chromosomes as much as the plants body cells.

b. Meiosis

Explanation:

Gametes are sex cells produced only in sexually reproducing organisms. In plants as stated in this question, male gametes are contained in pollens while female gametes are contained in ovules. The process by which these gametes are made is called MEIOSIS.

Meiosis is a cell division that reduces the chromosomal number of the parent cell by half. This means that each GAMETE will contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Fir example, if the body cell of a plant contains 30 chromosomes, each gamete formed via Meiosis in that plant will have 15 chromosomes.

In a nutshell, pollen and ovules, which are gametes of plants formed by MEIOSIS would have half chromosomes as much as the plants body cells.

The experimental process of determining the relative location of genes or other segments of dna along individual chromosomes is
Tatiana [17]

The experimental process of determining the relative location of genes or other segments of DNA along individual chromosomes is called Genome mapping or chromosome mapping.

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

Deoxyribonucleic acid is a polymer made of two polynucleotide chains that coil around one another to form a double helix and which contains the genetic material necessary for all known creatures, including many viruses, to develop, function, grow, and reproduce. Nucleic acids include DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Nucleic acids are one of the four main categories of macromolecules that are necessary for all known forms of life, along with proteins, lipids, and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides).

Because the two DNA strands are made up of simpler monomeric units termed nucleotides, they are referred to as polynucleotides.

Reabsorption of filtered glucose from the filtrate into the cells of the proximal tubule is by: Reabsorption of filtered glucose
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: A(secondary active transport)

Explanation:

Secondary active transport, is transport of molecules across the cell membrane which utilizes energy created by co-transporter pumping of ions across the membrane in an electrochemical gradient.

The reabsorption of glucose from the proximal tubule occurs via secondary active transport.

The reabsorbption of glucose does not depend the concentration gradient but on the reabsorption of sodium a co-transporter.

ATP is used in the movements of Na+/K+. Energy is also produced from sodium electrochemical gradient concentration and it is enough energy to transport glucose across the membrane into the epithelial cells.

How did the Lumber industry contribute to the pollution in Sudbury (Located in Canada)
Vika [28.1K]

As of now Sudbury has some of the cleanest air in all of Ontario. That’s hard to believe given the city once emitted 2.5 million tonnes of sulfur dioxide per year due to the Lumber industry. In the 1980s, the “Sudbury” became known as a unit of pollution, against which other industrial cities were measured. It’s now become known as a unit of restoration.
