Answer:

In males primary spermatocytes undergo two meiotic divisions. First meiotic division give rise to two secondary spermatocytes and secondary meiotic division give rise to four spermatids from two spermatocytes.  

Therefore a. from 100 primary spermatocytes 400 sperms will develop (100*4= 400)

.

b. From 100 secondary spermatocyteS 200 sperms will develop(100*2= 200).

c. Spermatids do not undergo any further division rather they undergo differentiation to form mature sperms. Therefore from 100 spermatids, 100 mature sperms will develop.

d. One primary oocyte gives rise to one secondary oocyte and one secondary oocyte give rise to one mature ova so only one mature ova will develop from 100 primary oocytes.

e. 100 ova will develop from 100 secondary oocytes.

f. Polar body do not develop into ova and degenerates after some time so no ova will develop from 100 polar bodies.

The gray matter in the spinal cord is located in the ____________ , and its shape resembles a letter H, or a butterfly. The cell
mariarad [96]

Answer:

The gray matter in the spinal cord is located in the <u><em>grey column</em></u> , and its shape resembles a letter H, or a butterfly. The cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are primarily housed in the <u><em>ventral or anterior</em></u> horns, which innervate skeletal muscle.

Explanation:

The grey matter is a component of the central nervous system that contains neuronal and glial cells and it can be found in the brain, brainstem and <em>spinal cord, in this last one, is found in the grey column, a mass of grey matter shaped in H form.</em>

In this column the grey matter is divided into four columns (as you can see in the image I added):

  • The dorsal or posterior horn: contains somatosensorial neurons
  • <em> The ventral or anterior horn: contains somatic efferent motor neurons (they exit the spinal cord to innervate skeletal muscle) </em>
  • The intermediate column: contains neurons to innervate visceral organs
  • The lateral horn: same as the intermediate column

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Hypothesize one way that a diploid organism could have offspring that are 3n or 4n
Temka [501]
Diploid refers to a cell that has two copies of each chromosome. One way that a diploid organism could have an offspring that are 3n (triploid) or 4n is when the chromosomes don't separate during meiosis.

Triploid refers to some cell that have 3 copies of each chromosomes for a total of 69 chromosomes.

Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that may be caused by mutations in several genes that code for the production of alpha-s
IrinaVladis [17]
Mapping and identification of the first mutations on autosomes responsible for Parkinson’s disease (PD) indisputably showed that PD may be hereditary. <span>All of the currently known PD forms are dominant or recessive, which means that they are linked with regions on autosomes (chromosomes other than sex chromosomes). The chromosomes can end up rearranging and there can be a part missing of the chromosome, or it was duplicated. That can also cause PD, which geneticist can see when they look at strands of DNA.</span>

Assuming that the sun transmits 6,000,000 kcal of energy to an area, calculate the amount of energy passed to the next trophic l
s344n2d4d5 [400]
The source of energy for Earth is our sun. Sir Issac Newton thought of light as a steady stream of particles. His contemporary, Christian Huygens, thought that light had a wave motion. They were both correct. Light energy consists of moving quanta of photons. In 1802 the English physicist Thomas Young confirmed hypothesis by proving that light traveled in waves. <span> </span> Photosynthesis is the major process by which wavelengths are converted from light energy into a form of chemical energy which can be used by living organisms. This conversion process will be studied later in the semester. The energy from the sun is stored in the bonds that hold molecules together. <span> </span> One major storage source of this energy is the glucose which can be produced as a by-product of photosynthesis. When glucose is broken apart in the process of cellular respiration, it can be made available for use by organisms in all metabolic activities. The level would be about 5,000. <span> </span> This is much better than having it in the comments. Hope this helps you. :)
