The correct option is A.
Scientists had discovered that some animals, such as Elysia chlorotica has the capacity to photosynthesize. The animal usually incorporate chloroplast into its cell from the algae which it feeds on. The chloroplast enable it to make proteins which are essential for photosynthesis.

The right answer is A. Some carry out photosynthesis...

The sea slug, Elysia chlorotica, is the first discovered animal able to use photosynthesis to produce energy. This photosynthesis is performed by the chloroplasts of its main food source, the seaweed Vaucheria litorea. They are sequestered by the digestive epithelium of the slug for several months according to a phenomenon of kleptoplasty, continuing their function of carrying out photosynthesis.  

However, the chloroplasts of Vaucheria litorea have transferred a large part of their genes required for photosynthesis to the nucleus of the cells of this alga during evolution. Photosynthesis is nevertheless maintained in the sea slug thanks to the transfer of a gene necessary for photosynthesis from the kernel of the seaweed to the genotype of the slug.

9. Select all of the reasons for the presence of a high amount of water in the human bodu
ICE Princess25 [194]

<u>Reasons for the presence of a high amount of water in the human body:</u>

Options A, B, E

Water is the main component for any living being, especially humans. The structure of cells uses water as a building component. Water is responsible for the transportation of nutrients within a cell.  It plays a vital role in the regulation of our body temperature. The internal temperature of the body is maintained by water as per the external temperature.

Hence, humans sweat in hot weather conditions to prevent overheating of the body. Water also helps in removing the waste materials from our body. The waste is excreted mainly in the form of urine. Apart from that, water also makes it easy to pass solid waste material from our bodies.

Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that primarily affects males. Why does this condition typically affect males more t
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Hemophilia typically affects more males than females because the disorder is </em><em>X-linked </em><em>and </em><em>recessive</em><em>. </em>

<u>Females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males only have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The two X chromosomes in females are capable of carrying alleles while the Y chromosome in males is hypothesized not able to carry alleles. </u>

Consequently, the two X chromosomes in females will both need to carry the recessive allele of hemophilia in order for any female to be affected for hemophilia while the males only need their single X chromosome to carry the recessive allele in order to be affected.

In order words, the presence of a single recessive allele is not enough for a female to be affected while it is more than enough for a male to be affected. Hence, more males are affected b hemophilia disorder than females.
