The process of meiosis is essential in the sexual reproduction and life cycle of many organisms. The outcome of meiosis is haplo

id gametes. Which statements correctly describe the importance of meiosis to the life cycle or these organisms?
A) Increasing genetic diversity ensures that no two haploid gametes are exactly the same.
B) Taking a diploid cell to its haploid state occurs during the first cell division of meiosis.
C) Checkpoints during meiosis ensures that chromosome separation occurs accurately, avoiding non-disjunction.
D) DNA synthesis occurs before each cell division in meiosis ensures that the integrity of the chromosomes is maintained.
E) Reducing the number of chromosomes by half during meiosis ensures the chromosome number is maintained during fertilization.

Answer:

E) Reducing the number of chromosomes by half during meiosis ensures the chromosome number is maintained during fertilization.

A) Increasing genetic diversity ensures that no two haploid gametes are exactly the same.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that strictly occurs in sexually-reproducing organisms. It is the process whereby four daughter cells that are genetically different from their parents are produced. In meiosis, the chromosome number of each daughter cell (gamete) is reduced by half. As highlighted in this question, the meiotic process is essential in the sexual reproduction and life cycle of many organisms.

This importance is attributed to the fact that:

- Reducing the number of chromosomes by half during meiosis ensures the chromosome number is maintained during fertilization. That is, a diploid organism (2n) produces a haploid gamete (n), which becomes diploid again when fertilized by another gamete.

- Increasing genetic diversity ensures that no two haploid gametes are exactly the same. This occurs because of a process called CROSSING OVER, which enables that the alleles of each gamete is recombined to be different from one another in order to promote genetic diversity.

Overall, how has science impacted human health?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>C. Increased average lifespan to 78 in the US.</em>

Explanation:

Science has impacted human health by increasing the average lifespan to 78 in the US. Over the last couple of decades, the life expectancy of Americans has increased significantly than what it was 200 years ago. This can be attributed to:

1. Vaccinations- Since the invention of vaccinations, diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera and polio which were major causes of death 200 years ago have virtually been eradicated in the US.

2. Abundant and safer foods available- Commercial and large scale farming has made a wide variety of nutritious foods easier to obtain.

3. Improved sanitation- Safer drinking water, sewage treatment and stricter food inspection has significantly reduced the rate of illnesses due to poor hygiene and sanitation.  

In these ways, science has impacted human health by increasing the average lifespan to 78 in the US.
