After fertilization a zygote forms. The cells then go through mitosis. Explain how this bundle of cells eventually forms a human

Answer:

Human fertilization and development

Fertilization is the process in which haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid cell called a zygote. To ensure that each zygote has the correct number of chromosomes, only one sperm can fuse with one egg.

Stages of human development

Zygotic stage: The zygote is formed when the male gamete (sperm) and female gamete (egg) fuse.

Blastocyst stage: The single-celled zygote begins to divide into a solid ball of cells. Then, it becomes a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst, attaching to the lining of the mother's uterus.

Embryonic stage: The major internal organs and external features begin to emerge, forming an embryo. In this stage, the heart, brain, and spinal cord become visible. Arms and legs start to develop.

Fetal stage: Once the formed features of the embryo begin to grow and develop, the organism is considered a fetus. Differentiation and specialization of structures happens during this time.

Differentiation and apoptosis

During development, the number of cells must increase through division so that body axes, tissues, organs, and structures must form. Individual cells become specialized in their structure and function through the process of cell differentiation.

Unnecessary cells also must be removed in order to help form important structures. This occurs is through the process of apoptosis. For example, human hands start out as a paddle-like block of tissue. Eventually, the block was “carved” into fingers by apoptosis of the cells in between the developing fingers.

In beans the pod texture and growth form genes are located on different chromosomes. There are two varieties of beans in a farme
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a. Genotype in F1 - TtBb

   Phenotype in F1 - tough pods, bush-type growth

b. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 5/8

c. Proportion of the F2 with tender pods =  1/4

d. Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender     pods = 1/8

Explanation:

Since the two traits are located on different chromosomes, they will independently assort during gametes formation. T is dominant over t and B is dominant over b.

Two true-breeding varieties were crossed at the beginning of the program:

TTBB   x   ttbb

All F1 plants will have the genotype TtBb with tough pods and bush-type growth form.

Advancing the cross to F2:

TtBb   x   TtBb

Progeny

1 TTBB   -   tough pods, bush-type

2 TTBb     -  tough pods, bush-type

2 TtBB    -   tough pods, bush-type

4 TtBb     -   tough pods, bush-type

1 TTbb     -    tough pods, climbing-type

2 Ttbb     -    tough pods, climbing-type

1 ttBB       -    tender pods, bush-type

2 ttBb     -      tender pods, bush-type

1 ttbb      -      tender pods, climbing-type

<em>Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for bush-type growth form = 10/16 = 5/8</em>

<em>Proportion of the F2 with tender pods = 4/16 = 1/4</em>

<em>Proportion of F2 that are heterozygous for growth form and have tender pods = 2/16 = 1/8</em>

What would you expect to happen to levels of mevalonate in human plasma if an individual were to go from a meat-containing diet
enyata [817]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

The mevalonate pathway is known to generate isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, which are used to synthesize diverse compounds including cholesterol and steroid hormones. The levels of mevalonate in human plasma may be used as a measure of cholesterol synthesis. When the cholesterol level is low, it stimulates its endogenous production by the mevalonate pathway. Since it is well known that the vegetarian diet reduces cholesterol, this diet also increases mevalonate levels.

What parts of the nervous system make up the central nervous system?
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The nervous system has two main parts:

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of the body.
