Meiosis vs Mitosis: Chromosome Differences Explained

AI Thread Summary
Meiosis Metaphase 2 and Mitosis Metaphase exhibit key differences beyond crossover regions, primarily in the arrangement and behavior of chromosomes. In Meiosis, homologous chromosomes align at the metaphase plate, while in Mitosis, sister chromatids align. The height of sister chromatids can vary due to differences in genetic recombination and chromosomal structure. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for grasping the processes of cell division. The discussion emphasizes the importance of chromosome behavior in both meiosis and mitosis.

Homework Statement



What is the difference between the images of Meiosis Metaphase 2 and Mitosis Metaphase other than the fact that the chromosomes have crossed over regions. Also, you have not been told that the chromosome number. All you have been told is that the height of the sister chromatids is slightly different.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
Meiosis 2 and metaphase are almost the same.
What do you mean by height of the sister chromatids?
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...

Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'

This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
