3. 5
4. 1
5. 3



Answer to Question 2

In mitosis, each chromosome splits in two. The wall of the nucleus disappears, and the chromosomes
move to opposite sides of the cell wall in pairs. Then a new nucleus wall forms around each pair of
chromosomes. The walls on opposite sides of the original cell then move toward each other until they
divide the cell into two new cells complete with nuclei and pairs of chromosomes.
With meiosis, the chromosomes separate and move individually to the cell walls. When new cells are
formed, each cell contains only one of each chromosome pair rather than both chromosomes. When
the egg is fertilized, the sperm contributes the other chromosome. In animals, meiosis occurs only in
the reproductive organs. When an egg is fertilized, the sperm contributes one half of each chromosome
pair; the egg contributes the other.

Did you know?

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.

Did you know?

Children of people with alcoholism are more inclined to drink alcohol or use hard drugs. In fact, they are 400 times more likely to use hard drugs than those who do not have a family history of alcohol addiction.

Did you know?

Human neurons are so small that they require a microscope in order to be seen. However, some neurons can be up to 3 feet long, such as those that extend from the spinal cord to the toes.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.
