During meiosis but not during mitosis, which of the following is true? __.
A haploid gametes are produced that are identical in their allelic composition
B the cytoplasm divides
C chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase
D genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased
E two identical daughter cells are produced
Answer:
D. genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased
Explanation:
Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. Meiosis occurs in germ cells, as a result; genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased. These cells (germ cells) are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.
In meiosis, the haploid gametes that are produced are not identical in their allelic composition.
In prophase 1, the chromosome pair up.
During metaphase, The chromosome pairs line up next to each other along the center (equator) of the cell.
Answer:
The earth surface is getting hotter because of global warming
Explanation:
Answer:
Sun > Grass > Deer > Lion
Explanation:
The sun begins a food chain because its light is needed for a plant, in this case grass, to grow.
An animal that eats grass is the deer, who is a primary consumer.
An animal that eats deer is the lion, who is a tertiary consumer in this case.
The lion has no natural predator, and thus is at the top of this food chain.
This ecosystem can be one found where grass, deer and lions exist, for example, the deciduous forest in the eastern United States.
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Option A is wrong. Mammals were not the prominent species before the extinction of dinosaurs because the mammal species that lived during the dinosaurs' era were so small that they only weighed several grams and occupied small areas as their habitats.
Option C is wrong. As dinosaurs became extinct, reptiles and "birds" remained as their descendant which evolved to some of the species that we know today.
Option D is wrong. Pangea started to break up to form the geographic isolation for the diversion of many species around 175 million years ago.
So the correct answer is B. Massive extinction disrupts and changes the food chain in such a big way that it triggers a domino effect that leads to species adapting to their new environment and diversifying thus forming new species in the process.
I hope this answer helps.
