ldia acuta, nuclei in somatic cells have 26 chromosomes.
Which of the following is correct:
a. Gametes of Draparnaldia acuta should contain 13 chromosomes.
b. Draparnaldia plumosa zygotes contain 26 chromosomes; meiosis should occur after fertilization.
c. Draparnaldia acuta is a diploid organism; the expected n number for its haploid gametes is 13.
d. Draparnaldia plumosa is a monoploid organism with n = 13.

Answer:

b. <em>Draparnaldia plumosa</em> zygotes contain 26 chromosomes; meiosis should occur after fertilization.

Explanation:

<em>Draparnaldia plumosa </em>is a freshwater green algae. The thallus of this species is haploid. Each cell of the thallus has 13 chromosomes in its nucleus. During sexual reproduction thallus forms gametes through mitosis. After fertilization between isogametes, a diploid zygote is formed having 26 chromosomes. Zygote undergoes meiosis to form haploid thallus.

Which statements could be categorized in the "Asexual" section of the Venn diagram? Check all that apply
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The right answer are : mitosis, diploid cells, and identical DNA.

Explanation:

The answers "two cell divisions" and "gametes" refers to a division by meiosis which is a sexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction or asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction, which - as opposed to sexual reproduction - corresponds to the capacity of living organisms to multiply alone, without a partner, without involving the fusion of two gametes of opposite sexes. Asexual reproduction is observed in multicellular (animal and plant) and unicellular organisms. In botany, the term often used for the asexual multiplication of plants is vegetative multiplication. In all cases of asexual reproduction, the result is identical to the mother.

Robert Koch is best known for establishing a link between bacteria and disease.

Robert Koch was a German doctor that made an important contribution to the field of microbiology and public health. During his experiments he identified the particular microorganisms that cause diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera, and anthrax. Koch’s research resulted to the development of Koch's postulates, which are four general principles that links specific microorganisms (such as bacteria) to specific diseases and is being used today in medical microbiology as a standard.
