Why is mitosis incompatible with the production of sperm and oocytes

Biology
1 answer:
Naily [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Mitosis creates diploid cells, while gametes (sperm and oocytes) are haploid cells

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process by which somatic (non-germ line) cells replicate, and two identical cells, called daughter cells are produced from each division. These cells are diploid, meaning that the cell has paired chromosomes. Meiosis is the process by which gametes, sperm cells and oocytes, are produced and these cells must be haploid, or contain unpaired chromosomes, so that when fertilization occurs, the chromosomes from the sperm cells and the chromosomes from the oocytes can recombine to create unique pairs of chromosomes for the resulting zygote. Thus, mitosis will never be able to create germ cells as germ cells must be haploid.

Answer: The correct option is D (Antimicrobials).

Explanation:

Antimicrobial treatment is defined as therapies that are given to patients to either inhibit or kill the growth of microorganisms IN their body cells. The antimicrobial treatment can be grouped into two based on their mechanism of action. These includes:

--> Microbiocidal therapy: This type of treatment when given, kills the microorganisms in the cells of the patient.

--> Microbiostatic therapy: This type of treatment aims at inhibiting the growth of microorganisms when administered to a patient.

The antimicrobial drugs achieve their role usually through their different modes of action which includes:

--> cell wall inhibition

--> inhibition of cell membrane function

--> protein and nucleic acid synthesis inhibition.

Disinfects, antiseptic and sterilisation are all different ways of eliminating microorganisms but not used as invitro (within) treatment for patients. Therefore the term that best matches the description given is antimicrobials.

I'd mark answer B :) technically it means that you must eat enough food rich in those aminoacids because they can't be synthesized by the organism.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

1. Aorta

2. Left atrium

3. Right ventricle

4. The pulmonary artery

5. Left ventricle.

Explanation:

The aorta is the main artery of the body that carries the oxygen-rich blood to all the body parts except the lungs from the left ventricle. It is divided into main coronary arteries or blood vessels.

The left atrium is one of the heart chambers, it is located in the upper part of the heart on the right side that receives the oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary vein.

The right ventricle is the chamber of the heart that pumps the deoxygenated blood to the pulmonary valve to MPA to the lungs to get oxygenated.

The pulmonary artery or the main PA (MPA) carries the oxygen-depleted blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where blood becomes oxygenated.

The Left ventricle is the thickest muscle chamber of the heart responsible for the pumping oxygen-rich blood to the circulatory system and to the body through the aorta.
