Describe the process and end result of meiosis.

Answer: In humans, meiosis is the process by which sperm cells and egg cells are produced. In the male, meiosis takes place after puberty. Diploid cells within the testes undergo meiosis to produce haploid sperm cells with 23 chromosomes. A single diploid cell yields four haploid sperm cells through meiosis. In females, meiosis begins during the fetal stage when a series of diploid cells enter meiosis I. At the conclusion of meiosis I, the process comes to a halt, and the cells gather in the ovaries. At puberty, meiosis resumes. One cell at the end of meiosis I enters meiosis II each month. The result of meiosis II is a single egg cell per cycle (the other meiotic cells disintegrate). Each egg cell contains 23 chromosomes and is haploid. The union of the egg cell and the sperm cell leads to the formation of a fertilized egg cell with 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs. Fertilization restores the diploid number of chromosomes. The fertilized egg cell, a diploid, is a zygote. Further divisions of the zygote by mitosis eventually yield a complete human being.

Answer:

In meiosis-II the separation of two chromatids occur so that equal number of chromatids (in fact chromosome due to duplication of genetic material) goes to each of the daughter cell. Thus, at the end of meiosis-II, four daughter cells are formed. Each cell has half the number of chromosomes present in the diploid cell.Feb

Question about nitrogen and phosphorous cycle? Which statements are true, list all that apply
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: 1) When phosphorous is not bound in rocks, it moves quickly through land food webs. Constant use of phosphate-rich fertilizers will help increase phosphorus availability to plants, thus ultimately helping our ecosystems.

3) Minimizing the use of ammonia-rich fertilizers on lawns would not add excess nitrogen to the nitrogen cycle. As a result, it would help decrease the pollution of food webs in the oceans, decrease soil acidity on land, and decrease the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

Explanation:

The nitrogen and phosphorus cycles both are biochemical cycles. The nitrogen cycle involves the process of uptake of nitrogen from the atmosphere by the soil bacteria which is then become available to the plants for plant growth, from plants it is transferred to the other organisms in different forms.

The phosphorus is found in the rocks and these rocks wither and the inorganic phosphorus become available to the ecosystems.

Option 1 is correct, this is because the phosphorus is available on earth in the inorganic form inside the rocks, the withering and erosion processes make the phosphorus available to the plants. Another source of phosphorus to plants is phosphorus rich fertilizers. Thus plants will absorb phosphorus and grow. These plants will be consumed by other organisms thus the ecosystem will remain healthy.

Option 3 is correct, this is because nitrogen rich fertilizers can cause eutrophication in water bodies, or can contaminate the water. It will decrease the pH of the soil due to the formation of nitric acid. Also the nitrogen dioxide is the greenhouse gas.
