The cell division that reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid is:
A. Binary fission
B. Meiosis II
C. Mitosis
D. Meiosis I
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Meiosis I is the reductional division where homologous chromosomes separate, resulting in two haploid cells with duplicated chromatids. Meiosis II is equational, separating sister chromatids. Mitosis maintains the diploid number. Meiosis ensures genetic variation and gamete formation.
Explanation:
The left ventricle pumps blood into the aorta and to the systemic circulation. Its wall is the thickest because it must generate high pressure.
Explanation:
Phagocytosis is receptor-mediated or non-specific engulfment of large particles, forming a phagosome that fuses with lysosomes. Key in immune defense.
