Answer:

B. Row x describes meiosis and row y describes mitosis

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process in which a cell divides to yield two daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. The process takes place in the somatic cells or the body cells. For example, a cell with 14 chromosomes divides to produce two cells with 14 chromosomes.
Meiosis on the other hand is the process in which a cell divides into four daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. The process takes place in the germ line cells where gametes are produced. For example a cell undergoes meiotic division to produce four cells each with 7 chromosomes.

Answer: Homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. And they exchange segments of DNA during crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gamete cells, which are sex cells (egg and sperm)

Chromosomes that form a pair and are found together are called homologous chromosomes, and they are inherited from each parent. During prophase of meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA in a process called crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged. It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.

After that, during the anaphase of meiosis I, the two chromosomes line up on the equatorial plane of the cell. Then, they are separated and each will go to a new daughter cell. So homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other.

Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will Group of answer choices increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli. de

Pie

Answer:

Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli.

Explanation:

Alveolar Ventilation rate is the rate of air flow in the alveoli of the lung during normal breathing. It is measured in milliliters of air per minute (mL/min). The alveolar ventilation rate is an important factor in determining the concentrations (partial pressures) of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the functioning alveoli.

A high rate of alveolar ventilation, would result in a rapid influx of oxygen-rich air and efflux carbon dioxide-filled air from the alveoli. This ultimately results in an increase in the concentration of oxygen and a decrease in the concentration of carbon dioxide within the alveoli.

Effects of alveolar ventilation on partial pressures of alveolar carbon dioxide and oxygen (PACO₂ and PAO₂)

If the alveolar ventilation rate is increased (and carbon dioxide production is unchanged), then the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the alveoli, PACO₂ will decrease.

If the alveolar ventilation rate increases, then the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli, PAO₂ will increase.
