How are crystals grouped together?

Biology
1 answer:
TiliK225 [7]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Crystals can be of many types.

Explanation:

  • Covalent crystals are crystals whose atoms are connected with covalent bonds.A Covalent bond exists where the atoms share electrons. These bonds are extremely strong and very hard to break. Because of this, the crystals themselves are also very strong and have high melting points. Imagine gluing together beads with super glue.An example of a covalent crystal is a diamond.
  • Ionic crystals are crystals whose atoms are held together with ionic bonds, or charged bonds. With these ionic bonds, one atom is negatively charged and is attracted to other atoms in the crystal that are positively charged.
  • Metallic crystals are crystals made of metal elements. These crystals sparkle with the lustrous sheen we think of metals having.

Meiosis reduces chromosome number and rearranges genetic information. Explain how the reduction and rearrangement are accomplish
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in the sex cells of organisms. It ensures the reduction of a diploid cell to an haploid cell to allow for the formation of a diploid zygote after fertilization (contribution of both parents haploid sex cells to give a diploid zygote). Thus, this process is very essential and important.

The reduction is accomplished by 2 divisions after the duplication of chromosomes

- first division: separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes (this reduces the total in half)

- second division: separation of sister chromatids of a chromosome.

The rearrangement in meiosis occurs by crossing over/genetic recombination.

This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous pairs of chromosome bringing about a rearrangement and genetic variation

An example of a chromosomal abnormality that arises as a result of defects in this process is the Down Syndrome which is caused by a nondisjunction of the chromosomes 21 pair in a sex cell.

This condition produces offsprings that have some characteristic facial features, short stature etc
