Compare and contrast the differences between mature human eggs and sperm in the following questions. For each prompt, determine

Llana [10]

Answer:

QUESTION 1:

a. They undergo unequal cytoplasmic division during meiosis- eggs

b. Their chromosomes have undergone genetic recombination and independent assortment- both gamete types

c. They contain specialized secretory vesicles called cortical granules just under the plasma membrane- eggs

d. They are characterized by a flagellum. Most of these gametes die without ever completing meiosis- sperm

e. The acrosomal reaction occurs in these cells- sperm

f. They can be derived from any adult cell type- neither gametes

QUESTION 2:

c) The egg is surrounded by a mineralized shell added before the egg exits the body.

Explanation:

a) Female reproductive cells undergo meiosis to produce one large egg and three polar bodies. However, an unequal cytoplasmic division occurs in favour of the large egg.

b) Since both egg cell and sperm cell are produced via meiosis and meiotic division involves the processes of genetic recombination and independent assortment, hence, both gamete types have their chromosomes underg genetic recombination and independent assortment.

c) Egg cells contain specialized secretory vesicles called cortical granules just under the plasma membrane. This cortical granules help prevent more sperms from fertilizing the same egg after it has been fertilized.

d) Sperm cells possess flagellum for motility in the female reproductive tract. Most of the sperm cells die without ever completing meiosis.

e) Sperm cells possess an head-covering structure called ACROSOME. Acrosome reaction is the process undergone by sperm cells permeate the zona pellucida of the egg.

f) Gametes are specifically derived from adult reproductive cells and hence, NEITHER TYPE OF GAMETE can be derived from any adult cell type

QUESTION 2:

The egg in Sea urchins is surrounded by a mineralized shell added before the egg exits the body to the external environment. This does not occur in the humans because the egg does not leave the body but fertilized internally.

Characteristics of the plasma membrane include which of the following? Select all that apply. cellulose phospholipids and protei

BigorU [14]

Answer;

-Phospholipids and protein

Explanation;

-The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer arranged back-to-back. It is also covered in places with cholesterol molecules and proteins. The plasma membrane is selectively permeable and regulates which molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.

- The membrane is an extremely thin layer of lipids and protein that forms outer boundary of every cell, It controls movement of molecules between the cell and its environment, Participates in joining cells to form tissues and organs and also plays important role in the ability of a cell to respond to changes in the cell's environment.

In three to five sentences, describe the advantages and disadvantages of these maps in modeling mitosis.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Mitosis involves in cell division.

Explanation:

Mitosis may be defined as a process of cell division which results in the formation of two daughter cells each from a parent cell and each cell having having the same number of chromosomes and chromosomes of the same type as that of the parent nucleus.

The main difference between meiosis and mitosis of a nucleus cell is that it involves only one cell division. And so the cell goes by the steps of prophase, then metaphase, then anaphase and finally telophase. The specialized cells could not survive independently to each other, so they have to develop some complex system of communications like the circulatory system and the nervous system. In this way they can survive. If one of the system dies, entire organisms is more likely to follow.

The answer is one (1) billion tons of phytoplankton at any one time. Annually, its recorded that there is approximately 45 billion tons of phytoplankton in the ocean. Other than being a source of food for fish, they are critical in the carb9n cycle. This phytoplankton incorporates 45–50 billion tons of inorganic carbon into their cells and are the largest source of atmospheric oxygen.
