Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes. Meiosis also produces genetic variation by way of the process of recombination.

faust18 [17]

Explanation:

For a man weighing 185 pounds his minimum daily protein requirement is <u>67.118 g </u>of protein.

Proteins are integral to many bodily functions including cell growth,repair and as an alternative source of energy.

Further Explanation:

Large monomer chains form biological macromolecules that perform many essential body functions, including nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. These are organic molecules, meaning Carbons bonded to the elements oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are ringed or long-chain.

Proteins are structural support molecules consisting of long amino acid chains joined via peptide (CONH) bonds; these are 20 specific units arranged into several macromolecules. Amino acids are absorbed through digestion and incorporated into the cells of the body to form muscle organs that signal molecules and provide an alternative source of energy.

  • First... convert 185 pounds to kilograms. Pounds (lbs) can be a measure of mass or weight, while Kilograms (kg) are a measure of mass.  
  • 1 pound= apprx 0.4535 kilograms.   ∴ 185 lbs = 83.8975 kg
  • Then, find the daily requirement for the person's mass in kg .....................<em>0.8 grams (g) of protein is recommended per kg of body weight.       </em>∴ 0.8 × 83.91 = <u>67.118 g</u>

The germ cell has 2 sets of chromosomes, and the four gametes will each have one set of chromosomes. ​​​​​​​ To have enough DNA
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. Halved

B. Doubled (x2)

C. Quadrupled (x4)

D. Octupled (x8)

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Via the process of meiosis, gametes are formed in order for sexual reproduction to occur. However, the chromosomal content of the gametes are reduced by half. According to this question, a germ cell is said to have 2 sets of chromosomes i.e. diploid, meaning that each daughter cell after meiosis will have one set of chromosome (haploid, n).

However, before any form of division can occur, the DNA (genetic material) of the cell must be replicated i.e. doubled in order to ensure that each resulting gamete has enough chromosomes. This is applicable in this question as well as the DNA in the germ cell must be DOUBLED (×2) via replication in order to have enough DNA for each gamete.
