What role do genes and chromosomes play in the hereditary process?

Biology
1 answer:
uysha [10]3 years ago
6 0

Each gene occupies a specific position on a chromosome. Because genes provide instructions for making proteins, and proteins determine the structure and function of each cell in the body, it follows that genes are responsible for all the characteristics you inherit. These pair up to make a total of 46 chromosomes.

Which type of ovarian follicle contains a secondary oocyte?
Illusion [34]
I think it is the secondary ovarian follicle that contains the secondary oocyte.The stages of the ovarian cycle that the follicle will go through includes; a primary follicle contains an oocyte and begins producing estrogen. Then the secondary oocyte contains a secondary oocyte and produces estrogen and some progesterone, then the graafian follicle develops and the secondary oocyte is released a process we call ovulation. the corpus luteum produces progesterone and some estrogen and lastly the corpus luteum degenerates.
