 <span>Mitosis is Asexual reproduction. It promotes genetic consistency because all offspring are exactly identical to the parent, unlike meiosis where homologous chromosomes are randomly dispersed between four daughter cells. organisms that only reproduce asexually are at a disadvantage because all organisms in their population are identical so if there were to be a major environmental change, they would have less of a chance of survival compared to a population of sexually reproducing organisms that are all genetically different.</span>

In a hydra, digestion is completed _________.
OLEGan [10]

In a hydra, digestion is completed intracellularly.

Hence option (a) is correct.

Small, freshwater organisms of the phylum Cnidaria and class Hydrozoa are grouped under the genus Hydra. They are indigenous to temperate and tropical climates. 

The digestion takes place intracellularly in Hydra.

Because of their ability to regenerate and the fact that they don't appear to age or experience old age, hydra have drawn the attention of biologists.

Like most other cnidarians, hydras have a pretty straightforward digestive system.

They have a two-way digestive system, which differs from mammals in that food and waste enter and exit through the same aperture. A "blind gut" is the name for this configuration.

The center of the hydra's body is occupied by its digestive tract.

babunello [35]

Answer:

1/2 , no difference to the fraction of the sons

Explanation:

Since the disorder is inherited recessive gene on the X. The woman will be a carrier since her father had G6PD. Therefore her genotype is X Xh

The normal man genotype will be XY

The genotype of their offspring will be

  • Daughters XX, XXh
  • Sons   XY, XhY

Therefore 1 out of the 2 sons(1/2) will have the disorder

If the father had the disorder, it will not change the fraction of the sons  because the disorder is on the X chromosome. However one of the daughters will have it XhXh
