Which statement best explains why meiosis produces haploid cells rather than diploid cells?

When explaining dominant and recessive traits to a younger family member, they respond, "well chances are i can probably taste ptc, since dominant traits are more common." how might you address this misconception?

Monomers are the building blocks of larger molecules, called polymers. for example, proteins are composed of chains of amino acids that are linked together. cellulose is a polymer that makes up plant cell walls. cellulose is made from a chain of c6h10o5 molecules. which monomers are most likely used to produce cellulose? why?

Photosynthesis uses co2 and cellular respiration produces co2. we call the point when the two processes are in balance--when there is no net production of co2--the compensation point. how might you limit one of the processes in order to achieve a compensation point?
