How many molecules of water are released during the polymerization of a 20 monomer long cellulose molecule

Answer: 19 water molecules

Explanation:

Polymerization refers to the process where individual monomers link together to form a polymer—for example, ethene polymerizing into polyethylene.

In the case of 20 cellulose monomers joining, 19 water molecules are released.

This occurs because the bond forms between the -OH group of one monomer and the hydrogen atom of another.

Therefore, for 20 monomers, 19 molecules of water are produced.

What happens during fertilization that makes the offspring unique from the original cells?
11111nata11111 [2571]

Answer:

Sexual reproduction requires two parents and results in offspring with unique genetic compositions. In the process of sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote. The mechanism of meiosis is what generates gametes.

enyata [2506]

Answer:

D. Aa

Explanation:

Provided:

Jill (the mother) is heterozygous regarding gene A --------- Jill = Aa

Jack (the father) is homozygous recessive for gene A-------- Jack = aa

Now, when fertilization takes place, we result in:

         A          a

a        Aa        aa

a        Aa        aa

The offspring combinations are (Aa, Aa, aa, aa)

Nondisjunction refers to the failure of homologous chromosomes to separate correctly during cell division. In this scenario, it is stated that the fertilization experienced nondisjunction during meiosis 1, leading both homologous chromosomes to migrate into one daughter cell instead of distributing to two due to improper separation.

Consequently, the fertilization of a normal haploid sperm with a nondisjunction-affected egg produces offspring characterized by the genotype Aa from their mother (Jill).

lana [2441]
By applying Kepler's third law of planetary motion, we understand that the square of the orbital period corresponds to the cube of the semi-major axis. Given that Earth orbits at 1 AU with a 1-year period, we can establish the ratio:
P^2 / r^3= 1
(P)^2 = 4^3
<span>P = 4^(3/2) = 8 years </span>

Trypanosoma most resembles which of the unicellular algae?
-BARSIC- [2551]

Answer:

The Trypanosoma most closely resembles green algae.

Explanation:

Trypanosoma exhibits structural similarities to green algae, which is unicellular. The primary similarity between Trypanosoma and green algae lies in their flagella, both utilizing them for movement from one location to another. Both are unicellular organisms where a single cell manages all life processes.
