Answer:

(D). horizontal gene transfer.

Explanation:

HGT (horizontal gene transfer) is a process of lateral gene transfer, which involves transfer of genetic material between organisms other than from parent to offspring.

In prokaryotes, horizontal gene transfer occurs through conjugation, transduction, and transformation.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

1. The correct answer is B. Conservation tillage practices help the soil erosion and also maintains soil nutrient levels.

Conservation tillage is termed as the tillage system which helps to conserve energy, soil, water through retention of crop residue and reduction of tillage intensity.

2. Correct answer is A. Aquifers 1 and 3 may result in a reduced river flow. Aquifer is termed as the underground layer of rock fractures, water-bearing permeable rock.

Hydrogeology is termed as study of water flow which is found in aquifers.

3. Correct answer is A. Recycling materials helps decrease the amount of new material which are taken from environment.

Most household can be recycled. Some other examples which are recycled include textiles, plastics, organics, and metals. Metals such as drinking bottles and food cans which are made from steel and aluminium can be recycled.

Why are more males born than females?
Svet_ta [14]
Worldwide, there are 107 boy babies born for every 100 girl babies. This skewed ratio is partly due to sex-selective abortion and "gendercide," the killing of female infants, in countries such as China and India where males are more desired. But even discounting those factors, the completely natural male-to-female sex ratio still hovers around 105:100, meaning that women are inherently more likely to give birth to boys. Why?

Several factors influence whether a sperm containing a Y sex chromosome or one containing an X chromosome will be first to fertilize an egg, including parental ages, their environmental exposure, stress, the stage in the mother's ovulation cycle and even whether she has had children previously; all these forces combine to set the average sex ratio at fertilization at 105:100.

Answer:

He meant that the supporting cells form a insulating coat on the nerve fibre called myelin seath. The myelin Sheath act similar to the rubber coating of household wiring because it electrically insulates the nerve fibre and speeds of conduction of nerve impulse..

Explanation:

  • The supporting cells of the nervous system are together called neuroglia or glial cells.
  • Unlike neurons these cells can divide in the mature nervous system and do not conduct nerve impulse.
  • Out of six types of glial cells, four are located in the central nervous system (CNS) and they are;astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells and microglia.
  • The remaining two types are the part of Peripheral nervous system (PNS) and include Schwann cells and Sattelite cells.
  • Among these , the oligodendrocytes of the CNS and Schwann cells of the PNS  forms myelin sheath on the axons of the nerve cell that act similar to the rubber coating on the household wiring.
  • The myelin sheath electrically insulates the axon of a neuron and increase the speed of conduction of nerve impulse.
