In the block to polyspermy, entry of the sperm's contents causes calcium ion levels in the oocyte's cytoplasm to rise, triggering the cortical reaction.

In biology, polyspermy describes the fertilization of an egg by more than one sperm. Diploid organisms normally contain two copies of each chromosome, one from each parent.

The cell resulting from polyspermy, on the other hand, contains three or more copies of each chromosome—one from the egg and one each from multiple sperm. Usually, the result is an unviable zygote. This may occur because sperm are too efficient at reaching and fertilizing eggs due to the selective pressures of sperm competition.

The cortical reaction is a calcium-dependent exocytotic process in which the content of secretory granules is released into the perivitellin space immediately after fertilization, which serves to prevent polyspermic fertilization.

Which statement provides an example of epigenetics A. Genetic mutations arising every other generation B. Selective breeding of
irina [24]

Answer: d. mothering style affecting the developing brain

Explanation:

Epigenetics is the study of features or "phenotypes" which do not involve changes in the DNA sequence. Epigenetics is about how genes are expressed and used instead of the DNA sequence of the genes themselves.

The behaviour of a person's genes depends not only on the DNA sequence of the genes, but also on so-called epigenetic factors. Effects on genes from the external environment can affect disease, and some of these effects can be inherited in humans.

So, Mothering style which affects the brain development is an exampe of epigenetics which do not show any genetic feature.

Hence, the correct option is d.

Question 2: How and why did changes in the environmental conditions affect carrying capacity in this
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Changes occurs in the environmental conditions directly affect carrying capacity of the ecosystem.

Explanation:

Carrying capacity of the ecosystem refers to the capacity of the environment which adjust plants and animals in a specific atmospheric condition. Suppose in harsh winter, the temperature of the ecosystem is very low which is unbearable for most of the plant and animal species, so very low number of plants and animals are able to live in that environment. In the ecosystem where the winter is harsh and the spring is cold, the population of living organism are more decreasing. If the ecosystem has Harsh winter, Cold spring, and Hot summer, this type of environment hold very low number of living species due to high variation in the environment.
