ASAP PLS There are lots of big words in genetics! One way to start thinking about the process of meiosis is to ask yourself some

questions.
If two parents are contributing genetic material to their offspring, why don’t the genes and chromosomes double in each generation?

If each parent has two sets of genes and chromosomes, why do their offspring receive only one set from each parent?

Answer:

1) the genes and chromosomes do not double after each generations because parental sex cells are haploid and only contain one set of chromosomes. During fertilization the two cells fuse to form a diploid zygote with two copies of genes and chromosomes. For example a normal human has 46 chromosomes (2 copies of 23 chromosomes) during reproduction gametes which contain 23 chromosomes (haploid) fuse to form an offspring with the correct number of chromosomes ( 23 + 23 = 46).

2) offspring only receive one set of chromosomes from each parent so to maintain the chromosome number of humans. If this did not happen you would not be the same species.

What practice should an obese individual on a diet carry out
erastova [34]

Some foods and eating patterns may make it easier to keep obesity in check.  Healthy food choices and diet patterns that help prevent heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions may also help to prevent weight gain.  

Eat whole foods-whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, healthful sources of protein (fish, poultry, beans), and plant oils. Processed food should be minimal. Limit sugared beverages, refined grains, potatoes, red and processed meats, and other highly processed foods, such as fast food.

HELPP ASAP :Describe two ways that the pancreas assists in the digestion process. :))​
navik [9.2K]
The pancreas is a six-inch-long gland located in your abdomen near your liver and part of the small intestine. It’s nestled right behind and slightly below your stomach and in front of your spine. The head of the pancreas is along the curve of your duodenum, the first part of the small intestine just beyond the stomach.

The pancreas plays a dual role in your bodily functions:

Endocrine system. The pancreas secretes hormones, including the blood sugar-regulating hormones: insulin and glucagon.
Exocrine system. The pancreas also secretes enzymes into your digestive tract through a duct into your duodenum.
