Why are predators often more affected by toxins in the environment (for example, higher mercury levels in large predatory fish,

and higher DDT levels in falcons and condors)

S_A_V [24]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Others are persistent (they stay in the environment and do not break down). These substances accumulate in the food chain and damage the organisms in it, particularly in the predators at the end of the chain. This is because accumulating compounds cannot be excreted.

True or False: Meiosis halves the chromosome number, whereas mitosis maintains the same chromosome number.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Meiosis is the kind of cell division that results in the production of daughter cells with each cell having half number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis is the cell division employed by reproductive cells to produce gametes/sex cells. Meiosis occurs in two stages i.e. Meiosis I and II. The chromosome number reduces by half in gametes in order to ensure that after fertilization of both male and female gamete, the resulting organism has the correct set of chromosomes. e.g diploid organism produces haploid gametes which fuses to produce a diploid organism again.

Mitosis is another type of cell division that results in identical daughter cells. They are identical in the sense that they possess the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell that divided. For example, a diploid cell undergoes mitosis to produce two diploid daughter cells.

What would happen to the possible variation in gametes if the number if chromosome pairs increased from two to three?
Orlov [11]
<span>If each of the pairs of chromosomes was heterozygous (what gives you the highest potential number of different gametes), then the number of possible gametes increases from 4 to 8 for a diploid organism. To figure out how many are possible, raise the number of homologous chromsomes (2 for a diploid organism) to the power of the number of chromosomes. So if you have two different chromosomes (A and B), raise 2 to the 2nd power (or multiply 2 x 2) and you have 4. If you have chromosomes A, B, and C, then you have 2^3, or 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.

To show possible combinations, AaBb gives you AB, Ab, aB, or ab. AaBbCc gives possible gametes of ABC, ABc, AbC, Abc, aBC, aBc, abC, and abc. </span>
