Answer:
A gene is a stretch of DNA or RNA that determines a certain trait. Genes mutate and can take two or more alternative forms; an allele is one of these forms of a gene. For example, the gene for eye color has several variations (alleles) such as an allele for blue eye color or an allele for brown eyes.
Explanation:
Answer:
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration allow the carbon and oxygen that organisms consume and produce to be cycled through the ecosystem. They work together so that what is made from one process is used in the other. Without them the ecosystem would run out of carbon dioxide and oxygen, and everything would die.
According to the second law of thermodynamics, energy is never 100% efficient because some of the energy disperses as heat.
Answer:
2n, n, diploid
Explanation:
<em>When the somatic cells of human are in interphase, the ploidy level is denoted as </em><em>2n (diploid)</em><em>. The ploidy level of the human's gametes is denoted as </em><em>n (haploid)</em><em>. The 2n number of a human is </em><em>diploid</em><em>.</em>
Somatic cells are also known as vegetative cells and all somatic cells of humans have diploid number of chromosomes. At interphase, the number of chromosome remains diploid (2n) but the amount to DNA is doubled at the synthesis phase of the interphase.
Human gametes are formed through meiosis - the division of sex cells in the human body. Meiosis results in the halving of number of chromosomes of cells. Hence, all human gametes contain half the number (n = 23) of chromosome of vegetative cells.
Humans are diploid organisms with diploid (2n = 46) number of chromosomes in their vegetative cells.
