The majority of cells in a human body go through mitosis and not meiosis. Is this true or false?

Biology
1 answer:
Andru [333]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Mitosis results in two cells that are genetically identical. DNA replication only occurs during "S phase." Meiosis is commonly defined as a type of cell division that divides a somatic cell and produces four gamete cells when doing so.

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>S phase:</em></u> In S phase, the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus. It also duplicates a microtubule-organizing structure called the centrosome. The centrosomes help separate DNA during M phase.

<u><em>Gametes</em></u> are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome.

More diverse habitat follows beta diversity which ensures prevention from wider range of environmental fluctuations. There should be a stabilization in the entire community in terms of invasions, disease events. Species with a limited variety of phenotypes living in a diverse habitat  will undergo adaptations in order to cope up with environmental variability.

Explain how both a biochemist and a food scientist may assist in making sure people consume a more nutritious diet
arsen [322]
<span>Neither. You need a nutritionist. Biochemist and food scientists could peripherally be involved by seeing that food is processed in such a way as to preserve the nutritional value of the food. (e.g., seeing that the vitamins are not degraded by processing) and contaminates and bacteria are not introduced.</span>
