Answer:

The correct answer is option -  a new drug.

Explanation:

Secondary metabolites or compounds are chemicals that are produced by plants and are not directly essential for plant life function such as development or reproduction. They perform several beneficial functions and are used as pigment, anti-grazing agent, and hormones. Some secondary metabolites have medicinal value. Secondary compounds are also perform alleleopathic activities as they attack other plants.

The secondary metabolites are used to form drugs and pesticides. Asafoetida is a secondary metabolite and use as medicine because of its medicinal value.

yulyashka [42]

Which healthy gamete could not result from the parent cell shown?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Gamete C

Explanation:

During the formation of gametes, the DNA is first duplicated, and 2 separate cell divisions take place to make a haploid cell.

In the first division, the homologous chromosomes are separated

Before the first cell division, the homologous chromosomes align in the centre. In this cell, the light green and dark green chromosomes align, as do the light purple and dark purple chromosomes. These are then separated into 2 different cells, 1 gets either the light or dark green chromosome and either the light purple and dark purple chromosome. The other cell also gets either light green or dark green and light purple or dark purple.

Then, a second division takes place that separates the sister chromatids to produce what we see in the gametes A, B, C, and D.

The only one that is not possible in a healthy cell is C, because it has not received any of the green chromosomes and instead has two homologous purples.

Diploid cell. In meiosis I, the cell undergoes cell division process that is more likely has the similar procedures that mitosis undergoes. The cell produced is called the diploid cell which has the complete 48 strands of chromosomes within it. However, after the mitosis II takes place, the cell produced is called a haploid cell which has only 24 chromosomes instead of 48.
