Please Help!!

1. What is the function of meiosis?

2. Explain how the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half during meiosis in which the diploid parent cell produces haploid daughter cells.

3. At what phase of meiosis is the number of chromosomes per cell doubled? (Think carefully about this.) What happens after that so that the number of chromosomes per cell does not end up being higher?

4. How many times does the cell divide during meiosis?

5. Why are the cells produced by meiosis considered gametes?

Why does the skin of your finger shrink when you wash clothes for a long time?

The phylogenetic tree illustrates the relationship between humans and our closest living relatives. the tree was based on biochemical comparisons, including dna and amino acid sequences. according to the biomolecular data, we could infer that a) the four organisms do not have a common ancestor. b) humans are more closely related to chimps than any other apes. c) chimps are more closely related to gorillas than they are to humans. eliminate d) there is no evidence if any relationship between the four branches on the tree.

Taq polymerase is an enzyme isolated from the organism thermophilus aquaticus. this organism has been found living in the hot springs of yellowstone national park. this enzyme is used to copy human dna from crime scenes. most reactions are performed at ranges similar to those of the human body; however, what considerations should be made for optimum use of this enzyme? view available hint(s)taq polymerase is an enzyme isolated from the organism thermophilus aquaticus. this organism has been found living in the hot springs of yellowstone national park. this enzyme is used to copy human dna from crime scenes. most reactions are performed at ranges similar to those of the human body; however, what considerations should be made for optimum use of this enzyme? the enzyme will not work on human dna. nothing should be altered. the ph should be decreased. the temperature should be raised.
