Firstly we have to know what is meiosis.
Meiosis is the cell division process by which a diploid (2n) mother cell divided twice to produce four haploid (n) daughter cells.
Diploid cells have paired chromosomes. For example, in human, the diploid cells contain 23 paired chromosomes, i.e., 46 chromosomes.
Haploid cells do not have paired chromosomes. In human, the haploid cells contain 23 chromosomes only.
We know, chromosomes contain DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid).
So, if the chromosome number is half in case of haploid cells, then obviously, they have half as much DNA.
So, the correct option is 2. They have half as much DNA.

Answer:

2. They have half as much DNA.

Hope you could understand.

List all the organ systems

Andru [333]

The 11 organ systems of the body are the integumentary, muscular, skeletal, nervous, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, endocrine, urinary/excretory, reproductive and digestive. Although each of your 11 organ systems has a unique function, each organ system also depends, directly or indirectly, on all the others.

I am trying to determine reactants going into the electron transport chain. Is this right?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Yes, this is correct.

Explanation:

In each glycolytic pathway, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase produces 1 molecules of NADH as a result of reduction of NAD+.
Pyruvate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate to Acetyl CoA producing 1 molecule of NADH per pyruvate oxidized.
In Kreb's cycle, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase reactions produce 1 molecule of NADH each. Furthermore, succinate dehydrogenase reaction produces a single molecule of FADH2 per FAD reduced.
Since, we began with 2 molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, we multiply the above figures by 2 and get a total of 10 NADH and 2 FADH2.
