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.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Hydrogen Bonds

Explanation:

In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the temperature rises to 90 ° C - 95 ° C, to break the hydrogen bonds, which are the types of bonds responsible for pairing the two strands of DNA, this process is known as denaturation of DNA.

The DNA is extremely stable, due to a large number of bonds (hydrogen bonds) that form between the two strands. If the temperature decreases, these bonds will begin to recompose, until the DNA returns to its original state

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

During the development of the fetus, the mechanism by which the mammalian skeletal system gives rise to tissues of the bone is termed as endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification also plays an essential role at the time of the development of the long bones length, rudimentary generation of the long bones, and healing of bone fractures naturally.  

The following are the steps in the process of endochondral ossification:  

f. The development of the cartilage model.  

b. The calcification of cartilage takes place and the formation of bone collar occurs.  

a. In the diaphysis, the formation of the ossification center takes place.  

c. In the epiphysis, the formation of ossification centers takes place.  

d. Replacement of cartilage takes place by the bone.  

e. Ossification of epiphyseal plates takes place.
