how fo scientists describe the way by which genes are passed down from parents to children? simple 10th grade paragraph please​

Genes are passed down to children by the process of meiosis. Meiosis includes gametes (sex cells). Most cells in our body are diploid, they have 23 pair of chromosomes (46 in total). 23 come from our father and 23 from our mother. The gametes are haploids, which mean that they only have one copy of each chromosome. The gametes are formed by meiosis, which leads to genes being passed onto children. Meiosis is where a normal diploid cell divides to make four non-identical haploid cell. First, each chromosome makes a copy of itself. The pairs of chromosomes line up and divide. The two new cell divide again creating 4 new daughter cells, each with a single set of chromosome. Each new sex cell has a combination of the genetic material from the mother and the father. Now when a sperm fertilises and egg, a new combination of chromosomes are created. This is a diploid cell, which then divides to create a zygote (baby). The baby now has the genes (genetic material) from the parents.

Explanation:

Hope this makes sense!

Answer;

A. A eukaryotic cell that can make its own food

Explanation;

-The endosymbiotic theory describes how a large host cell and ingested bacteria could easily become dependent on one another for survival, resulting in a permanent relationship.

-Eukaryotic cells may have evolved when multiple cells joined together into one. They began to live in what we call symbiotic relationships. The theory that explains how this could have happened is called endosymbiotic theory. An endosymbiont is one organism that lives inside of another one.

-The mitochondrion and the chloroplast are both organelles that were once free-living cells. They were prokaryotes that ended up inside of other cells (host cells). They may have joined the other cell by being eaten (a process called phagocytosis), or perhaps they were parasites of that host cell.
