Answer:

Because haploid organisms have only one set of chromosomes

Explanation:

Haploid organisms, unlike diploid that contain two sets of chromosomes (2n), have only one set of chromosomes (n). This means that they only have one gene copy and one allele (variant) for that gene. So, there is no recessive or dominant relationship.

Humans are diploid organisms, meaning that their cells have 2n chromosomes with the exception of gametes. Gametes are formed during the reduction division (meiosis) in which chromosome number is reduced to half.

So, when to gametes fuse, during the fertilization, formed new organism contain two sets of chromosomes (one from father and one from mother).

Axons of A alpha neurons conduct action potentials faster than any other type of neuron. Which of the following would account fo

never [62]

Answer:

Thick diameter, Myelinated

Explanation:

A alpha neurons conduct action potentials faster because of their large axon diameter and myelin.

The large diameter is less resistant to the flow of ions and allows for faster conductivity.
The myelin sheath is a layer of fat acting as to insulate the axon which helps increase signal conductance.

Which of the following are the components of photochemical smog?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

I, II and III

Explanation:

Photochemical smog is a brownish-gray haze caused by the action of solar ultraviolet radiation on atmosphere polluted with hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. It contains anthropogenic air pollutants, mainly ozone, nitric acid, and organic compounds, which are trapped near the ground by temperature inversion. These pollutants and also some others can affect human health and cause damage to plants. Photochemical smog often has an unpleasant odor due to some of its gaseous components. The term smog (not to be confused with photochemical smog) is commonly used to represent a near-ground haze made of a combination of smoke and fog rather than ozone, nitric acid, and organic compounds.
