The type of fertilization that one would expect to find in this specie is EXTERNAL FERTILIZATION. External fertilization is the type of fertilization in which the male sperm fertilize the female eggs out of the female's body. This type of fertilization usually occur in aquatic environment.

Answer:

External fertilization

Explanation:

Synchronized release of gametes to ensure fertilization is characteristic feature of external fertilization. The given information suggests that the crabs exhibit external fertilization. All the crabs move towards sea at the same time to synchronize the release of gametes. External fertilization of these gametes and hatching of fertilized egg release baby crabs.

inn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, inhibition of vasopressin.

Explanation:

Vasopressin also called ADH or anti-diuretic hormone results in the resorption of water by the collecting duct and the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron, and thus, minimizes the reduction of water via urine. Consuming ethyl alcohol results in the prevention of the secretion of ADH that results in frequent urination.

Why is vinegar used in food preservation?
weqwewe [10]
Vinegar is an extremely acidic liquid. Very few microorganisms (ie bacteria and fungus which cause foods to spoil) can survive in such an acidic environment. Among other effects, it can destroy their cell walls, and prevent their own enzymes working (enzymes are extremely pH sensitive). There are a small number of microorgamisms which are adapted to survive in extreme acidity. However, this adaptation prevents them from surviving in more 'normal' environments. Therefore, anything which can survive in the vinegar, will not likely survive on your kitchen surface, and the same is true the other way around. Therefore, as vitually nothing can colonise whatever is in the vinegar, the food will be very effectively preserved. . . . . . . . . . . you can say........................ . . the low pH a nd high acidity of vinegar destroy bacteria
