Answer:The offspring have genetic material from both the mother and the father.

Explanation: During fertilization, a sperm cell fuses with an egg to form a zygote. The genetic material in the egg is from the mother while the genetic material in the sperm is from the father and the two combine to form a zygote which develop into an offspring.

Therefore, the offspring will look similar to the parents but not exactly the same as the parents because the offsprings inherited genetic material from both parents. The offspring is a combination of the genetic material of both parents.

What is the relationship between ligaments, bones and joints?

kakasveta [241]

Ligaments connect one bone to another bone. Therefore, they allow a joint to form, because joints are where two or more bones connect.

Take your knee joint for instance (***see attached pic***). The knee joint is formed by the connection of the femur (your thigh bone), the tibia (your shin bone), and the fibula (the other long bone in your lower leg). In order for all of these bones to connect there are many ligaments in the knee joint that keep the bones connected and in place. A well known example of one of these ligaments in the knee joint is the ACL (anterior crucate ligament), which is commonly torn in sports, namely football. Most people have heard of this ligament because it receives a lot of media attention since tearing it can greatly alter or even end professional athletes' careers.

In a certain population of rabbits one year, 25 new rabbits are born and 5 move into the population from surrounding areas. Howe

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Population change is 15

Explanation:

To calculate the change in populations, we add up the immigrants and births and the subtract the deaths and emigrant from it

Change in pop = (birth + immigrants) - (death + emigrants).

Where birth is 25, immigrants is 5, death is 10 and emigrants is 5.

Change in pop = (25+5) - (10+5)

= 30-15

Change in population is 15.

What is the difference between the chemical and physical layers of the earth?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

These layers do not correspond on a one-to-one basis with the compositional layers. The Earth has five mechanic layers: The lithosphere is the outermost mechanical layer and is the most rigid layer of the Earth. The lithosphere consists of the crust, and some of the uppermost mantle.
