Answer:
If there is homologous chromosomes (metaphase I) or duplicated chromosomes/sister chromatids (metaphase II) in the middle of the cell.
Explanation:
Meiosis involves two series of nuclear divisions grouped into meiosis I and meiosis II. Each division has the same number of stages i.e prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase etc. Meiosis I involves the separation of homologous chromosomes i.e similar but non-identical chromosomes from each parent.
On the other hand, meiosis II involves the separation of sister chromatids (duplicated chromosome). Since METAPHASE is generally characterized by the alignment of chromosome at the middle of the cell for separation in the anaphase stage, it means that the difference between metaphase in meiosis I and II will be whether it is homologous chromosomes that are in the middle or sister chromatids.
Therefore, according to this question, I would know if the cartoon is in metaphase I or II if:
- there are homologous chromosomes in the middle of the cell (metaphase I)
- there are sister chromatids in the middle of the cell (metaphase II).
B
Information is encoded in DNA, then copied onto RNA during transcription. Then, ribosomes convert the information carried in RNA into a protein, in the process of translation. Also, A and D could be ruled out because DNA and RNA are solely involved with proteins, but polysacchariades are chains of sugars.
Hi how are you doing today Jasmine
Answer:
"Last week, you looked at both animal & plant cells. Both of these cells were diploid somatic eukaryotic. This week, you'll be looking at a different, but very important, type of cell: sexual cells. Two gametes, one from a female & one from a male, merge during the process of fecundation/fertilization to form a zygote. All in the organism will develop from this initial diploid cell".
Explanation:
There are two principal types of cells in the organism: Somatic cells that can not form any gametes, and germ cells that are in charge of gamete production. Both somatic cells and germinal cells will end their cycle dividing and becoming two daughter cells with the same genetic dotation after mitosis.
Somatic cells are any cell in the body excepting from sperm and egg cells. These somatic cells are diploid, they contain two chromosomes sets, each one inherited from each parental. Mutations in somatic cells affect the individual but the progeny does not inherit them. In this sense, these cells do not contribute to anything to inheritance terms through genetics.
Germ cells are the reproductive diploid cells, and the sexual organs (testes and ovaries) are the ones that produce them. These cells might suffer mitosis to form more sexual cells, and then a few of them suffer meiosis giving place to haploid gametes called sperm and egg cells through the gametogenesis process. Each germ cell produces 4 haploid gametes after meiosis.
Gametes´destiny is to merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete cell from the structural point of view that suffer successive mitosis to form the new organism.
