Chromosomes come in pairs (2n) in somatic cells or cells of the body. For instance, the number of chromosomes of a human being is 46 (23 pairs of chromosomes). In the event of sexual reproduction, gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain the same number of chromosomes as somatic cells then the union of the sperm and egg will produce twice that of normal (4n) chromosomes and will render reproduction inconsistent or even impossible. Therefore, a conclusion is made that in the cellular division of gametes, the chromosomes should be reduced in half in order to produce the same number of chromosomes for somatic cells generation by generation.

Explain how this experiment showed that gene flow was not the cause of antibiotic resistance.
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Due to no transfer of resistance allele.

Explanation:

The gene flow was not the cause of antibiotic resistance because the characteristics can't be transferred from one generation to the next generation. The organisms are evolved to become an antibiotic resistance due to their environmental conditions and this resistance quality is only present in the existing population and the alleles that are responsible for this resistance can't be transferred from the bacteria to the next generation so the experiment showed that gene flow was not the cause of antibiotic resistance

Answer:

There are three main types of blood vessels:

1)Artery ---

i) It is a blood vessel having a thin wall.

ii) It brings blood from different parts to the heart.

iii) It can't dilate or constrict under normal conditions.

iv) It contains valves that allow the blood to flow in one direction towards the heart.

v) All veins carry deoxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein.

3)Capillary ---

i) It is a very narrow blood vessel that has very thin walls.

ii) It forms a network throughout the body in all living cells connecting arteries to veins.

iii) It can dilate or constrict according to the requirement of tissue.

iv) It doesn't have any valve.

v) It contains mixed blood as it connects arteries and veins

Describe three examples of materials that have resulted from a lack of decomposer activity
erastova [34]

The decomposers are of two kinds, aerobic decomposers and anaerobic decomposers. The aerobic decomposers need the oxygen from the air to break down the dead and decaying matter into simple salts, sugars and hydrocarbon gases. The anaerobic decomposers do not require oxygen for the break down of dead and decaying matter. They break down the matter into various forms of hydrocarbons, sulphides and nitrogenous compounds.

When a dead and decaying matter gets buried deep within the Earth where there is an absence of the decomposers, it takes the form of crude oil, coal, peat, asphalt, and natural gas. The matter gets compressed by the weight of the rocks above and changes its form.
