Answer:

Jill's problems -characterized by learning disabilities due to ADHD- could be the result of prenatal exposure to behavioral teratogens, though he stresses that the link is not straightforward at this time.

Explanation:

The options for this question are:

  1. <em>Genetic abnormalities.</em>
  2. <em>Cell differentiation.</em>
  3. <em>Behavioral teratogens.</em>
  4. <em>Chromosomal abnormalities.</em>

ADHD is an <u>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,</u> a rare condition that has been linked to hereditary and environmental factors, such as exposure to teratogens.

Hereditary factors include genetic and chromosomal abnormalities, which can be passed from parent to child.

Pre-natal environmental factors are all those to which the mother has been exposed and which affect the normal development of the fetus. Among these factors are behavioral teratogens.

<u>Substances such as nicotine, alcohol, drugs of abuse, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been identified as behavioral teratogens, which could possibly have produced ADHD in Jill</u>.

The reason the doctor says the link between behavioral teratogens and Jill's ADHD is not straightforward at this time is because multiple factors can produce the disorder and must be considered through parental questioning and clinical testing.

Which term describes the fusion of two gametes to form a diploid zygote?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The fusion of two gametes to form a diploid zygote is called SYNGAMY.

Explanation:

During sexual reproduction process, exchange of DNA usually occur and this introduces diversity into the offspring that are produced. One of the ways by which exchange of DNA take place is called syngamy. Syngamy involves the bonding together of two sex cells leading to the formation of cell that has double amount of the chromosomes in the parent cells. The two cells that bond together are called gametes while the diploid cells formed is called zygote.  The major function of syngamy is creation of variation; the genotypes in the formed zygote differ from those of the gametes.
