In the space below, summarize the process of sexual reproduction in unicorns to explain how offspring are produced. Include and highlight the following terms in your summary: Diploid, Fertilization, Gametes, Haploid, Interphase, Meiosis

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.

explanation:

the missing space is phylum

the right is separation by density .

take the blood which is a good example of a heterogeneous mixture.

blood is a vital liquid in our body, which transports oxygen from the air to our lungs so we can breathe. it is also used to eject wastes, such as carbon dioxide, to bring cells and molecules of the immune system to the tissues, and to spread hormones throughout the body. it corresponds to plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and hemoglobins combined.

in medical tests centrifugal force is used to separate the different components of the blood.

in general, the centrifugation will allow to separate and analyze the different components of the blood, to know if the rate of white blood cells in the blood of a patient, for example, is normal, and therefore to know if his system immune is integrity.

under the action of centrifugal force, the solid components in the blood are drawn to the bottom of the tube in which the blood is contained. the centrifugal force then acts as an accelerated settling. it separates plasma from red blood cells and white blood cells.
