Answer:
In reproductive or sexual cells
Explanation:
There are two principal types of cells in the organism: Somatic diploid cells (2n) that reproduce by the process of mitosis, and germ cells that are diploid reproductive cells in charge of gamete production. These germ cells suffer both mitosis (to form more sexual cells) and meiosis (giving place to haploid gametes: sperm and egg cells, through the gametogenesis process). Both somatic cells and germinal cells will end their cycle becoming two daughter cells with the same genetic dotation.
Gametes from each parent will merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called a zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete cell from the structural point of view that suffers successive mitosis to form the new organism.
Any cell in the organism might suffer mutation.
- If the mutation occurs in the somatic cells, it will produce a population of identical mutated cells in that organism. However, this mutation in these cells is not inheritable. By definition, mutations in somatic cells do not inherit because these cells do not produce progeny.
- If the mutation occurs in the germinal line, in the germ cells, or the sexual cells, this <u>mutation will pass to the offspring</u>. The organism with mutated germinal cells might express a normal phenotype, but this mutation will be detected in the progeny.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
<em>The life cycles of sexually producing organisms generally involve alternation between the haploid and diploid generations.</em>
<u>Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes - fertilization. The gametes are haploid (n) and are usually formed by the reductional division (meiosis) of diploid (2n) sex cells. </u>
Haploid gametes represent the haploid stage of the life cycles of sexually reproducing organisms. During fertilization, the male and female gametes fuse together to form a diploid zygote. The zygote then continues to divide equationally (mitosis) and differentiates to give rise to a baby and eventually to either male or female adult organism.
Answer: K+ will flow from side 2 to side 1 until it is in equal concentrations in the two compartments
Explanation: A membrane potential will develop so that the electrical gradient stops the movement of K+ before equilibrium of the concentration can occur
