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.

The illustration below indicates that photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both complementary and balanced. An excess of
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The rate of photosynthesis was more than the rate of respiration

Explanation:

Photosynthesis has to do with the synthesis of sugar molecules from inorganic products such as water and carbon dioxide. Respiration on the other hand has to do with breaking down of the sugar molecule from photosynthesis to release the energy locked up in the sugar for various metabolic processes in the plant's body.

<em>If both processes are balanced, there will be no net sugar production. Hence, if an excess of sugar produced fossil fuels, it thus means that there was net production of sugar in the past. The rate of photosynthesis was more than the rate of respiration in the past.</em>
