A scientist conducted a study of an organism and found that its body cells contained 40 chromosomes. While conducting her observ

ations, the scientist noticed that the cells were undergoing cell division. What difference would the scientist expect to observe between the body cells and the sex cells of the organism as they underwent cell division?
Body cells divide by mitosis for the growth and repair of cells, while sex cells divide by meiosis for sexual reproduction.

Answer:

The difference that the scientist would expect to see between body cells and sex cells with respect to cell division is that body cells divide by mitosis for the growth and repair of cells, while sex cells divide by meiosis for sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

The behavior of the different cell types with respect to their division depends on the functions that each type has.

  1. <u>Somatic cells</u> are those that define the structure and function of the organism, forming tissues by binding together. The process of mitotic division —to obtain from an original cell two identical daughter cells— is important for the growth, development and repair of an individual's tissues.
  2. <u>Sex cells </u>or gametes have half of the chromosomal charge —they divide by meiosis, a reductive cell division— and are involved in the process of sexual reproduction.

<em>     The characteristics described for each cell type explain why the other options are not correct.</em>

What are 3 example for:
yulyashka [42]

Examples of positive and beneficial mutation:

  • Antibiotic resistance by bacteria
  • Almond tree gene mutation
  • Humans immunity to HIV

Examples of negative and harmful mutation

  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Frame shift mutation
  • Cancer

Examples of neutral mutation;

  • Bovine and human insulin
  • Silent point mutation
  • Missense mutation

<h3>What are mutation?</h3>

Mutations are results from change in gene structures that leads to variations in form that can be transferred or passed down to generations. This is usually caused by alterations in the single base unit of DNAs by insertion, deletion or rearrangement of genes or chromosomes.

Positive and beneficial mutations result in retained from of adaptation like antibiotic resistance by bacteria, harmful mutation causes harm such as cancer, while neutral has little or no effect example, silent mutations.

Why do humans sweat and dogs pant
iragen [17]
I think because humans have sweat glands in their skin that help cool the body by evaporation. Dogs don't have sweat glands but they have extensive blood vessels in their tongues that allow for heat to transfer. Panting helps move air across the tongue which carries away heat from the dog's blood.
