The structure that caused rotifers to be called wheel animals or wheel bearers is the corona.

Rotifers are also known as wheel animals or wheel bearers because of the corona structure around their mouth region.

Some rotifers are sessile and live inside tubes or gelatinous holdfasts that are attached to a substrate. Other rotifers migrate around a substrate through inch worming.

This is because when corona is seen in a sequential coordinated movement, it resembles the structure of a wheel, although it does not rotate in reality.

Therefore, we conclude that rotifers are called wheel animals or wheel bearers due to the presence of the corona structure.

A human baby is born with two x chromosomes. what must be true about this baby?

What are the biggest advantages of natural gas as a fuel source?

GaryK [48]

Due to its cleaner combustion, natural gas is the most environmentally safe fossil fuel. Natural gas doesn't have as many toxic combustion byproducts as other fossil fuels.

Natural gas is adaptable. Starting and stopping a gas-fired power plant is substantially faster than one that burns coal.
Due to its flexibility, it complements renewable energy sources like solar and wind, which are only usable when the sun is out and the wind is blowing.
When burned to produce power, natural gas is the cleanest-burning hydrocarbon, releasing about half as much carbon dioxide (CO2) and only one-tenth as much air pollutants as coal.
By switching to natural gas from coal, there is a significant opportunity to cut CO2 emissions and air pollution in the near future.
Because Natural gas is now so widely accessible through LNG, it can assist nations in coping with short-term supply interruptions.

Answer:

B. Old world monkeys

Explanation:

The Old World monkeys (including baboons) inhabit Africa and Asia, and are more closely related to apes. They are generally larger than New World monkeys, have more elongated faces, and have a tail that is not "prehensile".

What we already know:

All species under normal circumstances will have two sex chromosomes. X and Y, Y is known to be dominant. All females will have two X chromosomes (XX, one X will always be given by the mother), whereas males will have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome (XY, one X will always be given by the mother. The father, on the other hand, could give either an X or a Y, that all depends on what sex chromosome the father's sperm donated.)

So, how many chromosomes do a typical human have? Correct, a typical human has 32 chromosomes and only 2 of them are sex chromosomes. Now we must understand that the sex chromosome carries more than just the one code for the individual sex. That means that the gene codes for more than just the sex.

Building on that knowledge:

Sex-Related Inheritance that differs from sex, is carried on one or two of an individual's sex chromosome. Whereas Non-Sex-Related Inheritance is carried on the other thirty chromosomes that the individual also carries.

Sex-Related inherited genes that are passed via the father to male offsprings, carried on the Y chromosome, are easiest to spot in a family. All males will have this trait and no females will.

Non-sex-related inheritance can be passed from male to female and from female to male, this is sometimes harder to differentiate from genes carried on the X chromosome because the mother always gives an X chromosome.

Vocabulary:

phenotype: the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
