Biology

andrezito [222]2 years ago

Answer:

Doubles the amount of DNA and reduces the chromosome number from 2N to N.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division in which one cell divides into 2 cells in the first meiotic division and then these two cells divide into two more cells so overall 4 cells are produced from one cell. This division occurs in gamete cells.

First, the amount of DNA gets double by converting the single-stranded DNA into double-stranded DNA. Then the homologous chromosomes get separated into two different cells in the first meiotic division and till now the chromosome number is 2N.  

After the second meiotic division, each sister chromatids of a chromosome gets separated into separate cells and the chromosome number in daughter cells becomes 1 N. So the major role of meiosis is to double the DNA mount and reduce the chromosome number by half in all daughter cells.

Which of the following best describes how cleaning products like chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, and soap influence the infectious
torisob [31]

Answer:

These cleaning products break apart the capsules of the viruses causing them to no longer be capable of infecting an individual.

Explanation:

Bleach oxidises organic molecules. This causes proteins to become denatured, or lose their shape. The viral capsule containing the DNA is a coat made up of proteins that is required for the virus to become infectious. Therefore, following bleach treatment, the viral protein capsule become oxidised, cause them to loses their shape, meaning the virus can no longer infect individuals.

Illusion [34]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The correct option is B- Qualitative.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

When the growth of corn has to be recorded, the quality of the corn grown in different soils needs to be recorded. Qualitative methods are best used to classify quality of anything.

Qualitative data basically is non-numerical data which in the case of corns can be the length of the corn plant, the sweetness of the corn kernel or the hardness or softness of the corn. This data cannot be recorded using numerical values and so other methods of data recording cannot be used.
