Answer;

D. Meiosis ii of mother

Explanation;

-The non-disjunction occurs in the meiosis II of the mother. This non-disjunction occurs when the two sister chromatids X and X fails to separate during meiosis II and produces an egg having two X chromosomes.

-Klinefelter syndrome is a condition that occurs in males when they have an extra X chromosome. The syndrome is not inherited, but usually occurs as a random event during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) that results in the presence of one extra copy of the X chromosome in each cell (47,XXY).

Advantages of constant body temperaure
Leya [2.2K]
Proteins function optimally at a specific temperature. So if you get too hot or too cold, biochemical reactions in your body start to function less well. If the situation becomes extreme enough, they can cease to function well enough to sustain life. 

Warm-blooded animals have an advantage over cold-blooded ones in that their bodies automatically try to maintain the optimal termperature for things in their bodies to function. Cold-blooded animals depend on the environmental temperature to do this for them. That's why reptiles are very sluggish when they're cold, but will "wake up" when they get warm. 

The cost to this benefit is that metabolically, warm-blooded animals require a lot more fuel to run their bodies. It's very energy-intensive to maintain a constant body temperature. Cold-blooded animals require far less fuel than warm-blooded ones relative to their size. 

The way that proteins operate in a specific temperature is also true of the pH in your body which is also very tightly maintained.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Less oxygen.  Less life.

Explanation:

Plants make up most of our oxygen here on earth, because of the carbon cycle and photosynthesis.  They take carbon dioxide, and turn it into oxygen.  And not only that, but some animals live in trees to protect themselves from birds and other animals.

The preferred prey item would be frogs.

What is optimal foraging theory?

It is a theory in ecology that proposes that predating animals that get the most energy from minimal efforts are favored by natural selection.

In order words, selection forces prefer investing minimum energy in order to extract maximally available energy.

In this case, the heron needs to use the lowest time to harvest the maximum energy possible. Since all the preys offer the same amount of energy, the one that requires the lowest time would be preferable for the heron.

In other words, frogs would be the most preferable prey.
