Answer:

So, Mechanical and Chemical Digestion is the way of breaking down foods in the body. The difference between Mechanical and Chemical Digestion is, Mechanical Digestion involves the body's movement to make the food smaller and Chemical Digestion involves enzymes to break the food down.

Explanation:

Since Mechanical Digestion involves moving around to break the food down, you would get up and walk around a little to burn it to make it work and Chemical Digestion is just using the natural enzymes in the body to break food down.

Each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: a) true

Explanation:

The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the mother cell, without a single extra or missing chromosome. Meiosis, on the other hand, is only used for one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes or sex cells, i.e. sperm and eggs. The question is oriented to mitosis, in which prior to this cell division, the cell duplicates its DNA so that each daughter cell then inherits the genetic material. That is, the cell originally possesses 23 chromosomes, they duplicate to a total of 46 so that then each daughter cell receives 23.

The metaphase is the second phase of mitosis and meiosis that occurs after prophase where the envelope is lost and microtubules of the achromatic spindle (also called meiotic or mitotic) appear.

During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell and this balanced midline spindle alignment is due to the equal and opposing forces generated by the kinetochore brothers.

Then during metaphase, the chromosomes will line up in the center of the cell to be separated and go each to a different daughter cell. But the moment they're found there, each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent. Because because there have been no changes or mutations in the chromosomes, they have duplicated and have the same genetic information.

vivado [14]

I have attached lac operon model having 4 genes. See attachment for better understanding.

Answer:

The Lac operon is controlled by two signals.

Initiation

Glucose and lactose concentrations control the initiation of transcription of the Lac operon through their effects on the Lac repressor protein and Cap.

Lactose absent (Repression)

When lactose is absent, the Lac repressor binds the Lac operator and shuts off expression of the operon.

Lactose present (Transcription)

Addition of lactose increases the intracellular concentration of a related compound, allolactose. allolactose binds to the Lac repressor, causing it to undergo a conformational change that releases its grip on the operator DNa.

Glucose absent (Repression)

When glucose is absent, cyclic aMp (red triangle) is produced by the cell and Cap binds to DNA.

Glucose present (Transcription)

LacZ, the first gene of the operon, encodes the enzyme b-galactosidase, which breaks down lactose to galactose and glucose.
