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.

Explain:

6. Rocks in the ocean eventually get subducted back into earths mantle due to slab pull. New rocks form at mid-ocean ridges as ridge forces two plates to diverge.

Children are spending less time outdoors in nature because of which reason(s)
Mrrafil [7]
The two biggest reasons for children spending less time outside are the development of technology and the safety issues. The development of technology brought in our homes countless forms of having fun which is very important to children. The mobile phones, PC's, laptop's, tablets, Sony Play Station, as well as lots of technologically improved toys, made the children stay at home since they have the fun indoors, and not be interested in going outside and in nature. Also the safety issues in lots of parts in the world made the parents to restrict the children to the indoors environment.

Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are isotopes; it means that
jok3333 [9.3K]
A :-) Isotopes are forms of the same element with equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. For example, both carbon-12 and carbon-14 have 6 protons. But carbon-12 has 6 neutrons while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. By definition, carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 are all isotopes of the carbon.
