Which of the following does not accurately describe fruits?
Nesterboy [21]

The correct answer is D.

Not all fruits are rich in sugars. In the strict botanical sense, fruit is the  fleshy or dry ripened ovary of a plant, enclosing the seed or seeds. Therefore grapes, bananas, apples as well as bean pods are fruit, technically.

Bean pods are not rich in sugar, hardly any is found in them yet they are fruit. Others are cucumbers,  bitter almonds  and acorns. These are all fruit but not rich in sugars. But the term fruit has been popularly restricted to the ripened ovaries that are sweet and either succulent or pulpy.

if a person moved from san diego CA to estes park CO (elevation 7500ft) what would be the effect on cellular respiration for thi
bekas [8.4K]

The atmospheric pressure drops so the partial pressure of O2 drops proportionately. The hemoglobin must circulate faster to deliver the same quantity of oxygen to working muscles' mitochondria for cellular respiration. This increased basal circulation rate places a greater demand for oxygen to support it, which triggers in increase in red blood cell population so there is more hemoglobin to deliver O2. With more RBCs the circulation rate once more slows to the old basal rate.

If a parent cell has 18 chromosomes, each daughter cell following meiosis II will have ________ chromosomes
bogdanovich [222]

Meiosis II will have 18 chromosomes.

Meiosis:

  • Somatic cells divide during meiosis, a process in which the genetic makeup or quantity of chromosomes in the daughter cells is maintained.
  • In sexually reproducing organisms, a kind of cell division known as meiosis results in a decrease in the number of chromosomes in gametes (the sex cells, or egg and sperm). Human body cells, also known as somatic cells, have two sets of chromosomes and are diploid (one from each parent).
  • A single cell splits twice during the meiosis process, resulting in four cells with half the original genetic material. These cells—sperm in men and eggs in women—are our sex cells.
