A XY or XY gamete fuses with a normal gamete (X or Y)
Explanation:
Meiotic nondisjunction is the phenomenon whereby chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis I or II. Meiotic nondisjunction leads to the formation of abnormal gametes I.e. gametes with additional or missing chromosomal piece.
The fusion of these abnormal gametes produced by nondisijuction with a normal gamete (X or Y chromosome). This leads to a condition called ANEUPLOIDY, which is a chromosomal disorder. In the case od Calix, XXY is an ANEUPLOIDY state that could have resulted because there was a fusion between a XX gamete and Y gamete or XY and X. The XY or XX gametes are produced as a result of nondisijuction.
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)
uses the temperature difference between deep cool ocean water and warm tropical
surface waters to produce electricity. Quantities of cold water that can be
used for air conditioning is produced as a by-product.
The statement above is true. Plants contribute to precipitation through the process of transpiration. This is because this process is a naturally occurring behavior of plants where water evaporates from the plants' leaves that are carried through plants from the roots.
