Fraternal twins, while conceived at the same time, are not genetically identical.

Biology
1 answer:
Volgvan2 years ago
7 0

Fraternal twins are not genetically identical because one chromosome from each pair randomly passes during meiosis and leads to differences between the siblings. Meiosis involves independent segregation of sex chromosomes.

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a parent cell produces four daughter (gametes) cells having half the genetic material.

Fraternal twins occur when two egg cells are released by the mother, which are fertilized by a different sperm.

During meiosis, sex chromosomes are separated and segregate in a random manner in daughter (sex) cells.

Choose the appropriate term to fill in the sentence: when mrs. m ate, her intestinal contents became __________ to her blood. he
KonstantinChe [14]
<span>The answer to this question would be: hypertonic, hypotonic

After eating, the intestine is filled with food that will be digested. Food that digested will turn into a much smaller unit of carbohydrate, amino acid and fatty acid that will cause the intestine to have hypertonic solution compared to the blood. This will induce diffusion of some molecule to the intestinal cell, and then to the blood.</span>

Identify the rectangular solid that represents the cell with the smallest amount of plasma membrane per volume of cytoplasm
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Solid 1 has the smallest amount of plasma membrane per volume of cytoplasm

<em>Note: The question is incomplete. The attachment below gives the complete question</em>

Explanation:

The outermost surface of a cell is bounded by the plasma membrane which functions to maintain the integrity of the cell as well as control the movement of particles in and out of the cell.

The ratio of the surface area of a cell to the volume of the cell indicates how big the cell is. When the surface area to volume ratio is small, the cell is very big, but if the surface area to volume ratio is big, the cell is small.

From the attachment below, the surface area (plasma membrane) per volume of plasma of the rectangular solids are as follows:

Solid 1: 10/2 = 5 cm⁻¹

Solid 2: 12.18/2 = 6.09 cm⁻¹

Solid 3: 19.0/2 = 9.5 cm⁻¹

Solid 4: 34.24/2 = 17.12 cm⁻¹

Solid 5: 65.79/2 = 32.895 cm⁻¹

Solid 1 has the smallest amount of plasma membrane per volume of cytoplasm
