Answer:

The options are missing, the options are;

I. an error in anaphase I

II. an error in anaphase II

III. an error of the first postfertilization mitosis

IV. an error in pairing

A) I or II only

B) II or IV only

C) III or IV only

D) I, II, or III only

E) I, II, III, or IV

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

Meiosis is the type of cell division undergone by reproductive cells to produce gametes that have a reduced number of chromosomes. Normally, a diploid (2n) organism like humans undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (n). This reduction occurs because homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from both parent) and sister chromatids are separated during the anaphase of meiosis I and II respectively. Hence each cell (gamete) at the end of meiosis now possess 23 chromosomes each as opposed to the 46 in the producing organisms.

However, an anomaly called ANEUPLOIDY can occur in which one or more chromosomes fail to separate during anaphase. This failure to separate is referred to as NON-DISJUNCTION and it results in gametes that have extra chromosomes i.e. n+1 or missing chromosomes i.e. n-1.

Note that, this error can occur in either meiosis I or II depending on whether it is homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids that fail to separate.

According to the question, a gamete with missing chromosome (n-1) is described, hence, it will undergoes fertilization to produce a zygote with 2n-1 chromosomes i.e. A diploid organism missing one chromosome (46-1) = 45 chromosomes. This particular condition is referred to as MONOSOMY.

The right answer is water.

The transformation of oxygen into water is done at the level of the mitochondria in a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

In eukaryotes, oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, specifically at the cristae of this membrane. It includes the respiratory chain, which provides oxidation of coenzymes reduced by the Krebs cycle, and ATP synthase, an enzyme capable of phosphorylating ADP to ATP from the energy released by the respiratory chain during the course of treatment. oxidation of coenzymes. This energy is stored as an electrochemical gradient across the inner membrane of the mitochondria by proton pumps that generate a proton concentration gradient during the flow of electrons along the respiratory chain. The final step of the latter is the reduction of one oxygen molecule by four electrons to form two molecules of water by fixing four protons.

What are the different types of limiting factors found in nature?
disa [49]

1. the availability of food, water, shelter and space.

2. Common limiting factor resources are environmental conditions that limit the growth, abundance, or distribution of an organism or a population of organisms in an ecosystem. The limiting factor also causes competition between individuals of a species population.

Example: Space, food, or water.

3. Limiting factors, such as food, would sometimes cause one organism to kill another to survive or fight over that factor. But with space, it would get crowded probably.

4. ( i couldn't find anything about South America Ecosystems Interactive... sorry )

5. "Native people" are ethnic groups who are the original inhabitants or descendants of the original people.

Example: the Yanomami and the Tupi People of the Amazon.

6. I would say do an experiment or something???

7. A variable is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types.

8. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation. The dependent variable is also called the outcome variable.

9. A typical use of a control group is in an experiment in which the effect of a treatment is unknown and comparisons between the control group and the experimental group are used to measure the effect of the treatment.

Example: when testing for a new pill, one group is given the pill to see affects, one group (the control group) is given a placebo and is used to see what happens when given a placebo.

10. Changes in limiting factors will cause a population to decrease.

11. They are transmitted from indirect contact usually.

12. An animal or plant on or in which a parasite or commensal organism lives.

Example: When a human doesn't wash his/her hands and that makes someone else sick. Another one is since humans naturally have bacteria, some are bad and can cause a virus.

13. An infectious agent is something that infiltrates another living thing.

14. Lack of membrane-bound organelles, unicellular, and small.

15. cocci, bacilli, and spirilla.

16. Viruses can replicate only by infecting a host cell and they cannot reproduce on their own.

17. Influenza, HPV, and rabies.

18. Any of a group of unicellular, multicellular, or syncytial spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter.

Example: Pink waxcap, coral tooth, and pig's ear. (this is not their scientific name haha)
