While the ovum is on its way to the uterus, a successful mating results in the presence of sperm cells in the fallopian tube. On

e of these sperm cells fertilizes the ovum. How does this event affect the corpus luteum?

If the sperm cell fertilises the ovum, and implantation does not occur, then the corpus luteum degenerates and it turns into corpus albicans, stopping progesterone secretion. If fertilisation occurs and implantation also, the syncytiotrophoblast, the "root part" of the blastocyst (one of the early structures originated from the zygote), produces a hormone that is called <span>human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The hCG is what makes the corpus luteum keep secreting progesterone and maintain itself. The progesterone will then help keep the endometrium and, therefore, allow the development of the embryo to happen.</span>

Scientists classify the parts of a phospholipid molecule according to their chemical properties. what are these parts?
xeze [42]
Phospholipids are typically made up of two fatty acids,a glycerol molecule and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol.The phosphate group is negatively charged, it is hydrophilic and it is describes as the polar HEAD of the phospholipid. The fatty acid chains have no charge [neutral], they are hydophobic and they are describe as the non-polar TAIL of the phospholipid.

Describe how The Carbon Cycle works.
shutvik [7]

Carbon cycle refers to an array of procedures by which the compounds of carbon are interconverted in the environment, comprising the inclusion of carbon dioxide into living tissue by the process of photosynthesis and then getting back into the atmosphere via respiration, the burning of fossil fuels, and the decomposition of dead organisms.  

The following are the steps that illustrate how the carbon cycle functions:  

1. Carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide from combustion and respiration.  

2. The absorption of carbon dioxide takes place by the producers to manufacture glucose in photosynthesis.  

3. The animals feed on the plant passing the carbon components through the food chain. The majority of the consumed carbon is exhaled in the form of CO2, which was produced at the time of aerobic respiration. The plants and animals die eventually.  

4. The dead plants and animals get dissociated by the dead organisms and return the carbon present in their bodies back to the atmosphere as CO2 by the process of respiration. In certain occasions, the dead plant and animals get converted into fossil fuel, which is available in future for combustion.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Naturalists noted that in contaminated industrial areas, contrary to what happened in non-industrial areas, dark forms predominated over clear ones. Why do dark variants leave more descendants than light ones? As soon as we analyze the ecological niche of this species a little, we realize that there are many interactions of all kinds that can determine the biological efficacy of a moth. The ability to capture food, the avoidance of predators, the success in the mating of the males, the fecundity of the females, etc., can be some of the factors. Perhaps dark-colored females are more fertile than light ones. It seems unlikely, however, that there is a relationship between the degree of pigmentation of the body and the number of eggs that a female can leave. Perhaps dark males are more successful in mating than light males. It's possible. A significant fact is that the soot of the factories kills the gray-light lichens that inhabit the bark of the trees, where these moths spend much of their time, and blacken it. This evidence suggests that perhaps dark forms are less conspicuous in the environment in which they develop (the bark of trees) than clear ones, so that predators (birds) preferentially capture the latter. Following this reasoning, the British H. B. D. Kettlewell carried out a series of experiments that demonstrated that dark forms camouflage themselves better than predatory birds than clear ones in tree bark, being favored by selection. Therefore, the dark color is an adaptation because its carriers survive longer - they are less predatory - than those of light color. The adaptations, those properties of the organisms that so often fascinate us, are those characteristics that increase their frequency in the population due to their direct effect on survival or the number of descendants of the individuals who carry it. Adaptations are thus an intrinsic product of natural selection. What determines that a variant is an adaptation? The ecological context of each population. Thus, while dark forms are favored in contaminated areas, light forms, on the contrary, are mimetic in uncontaminated areas, being here those selected in favor. Adaptation is not an invariable, or absolute, but contingent property, a function of each ecological context. There is no a priori a phenotype, a clear or dark, better. We must always go to the ecological context of each species to know the cause of an adaptation. And this is another essential aspect of Darwinism, the contingency of its products, its dependence on the environmental contexts through which species pass through their evolutionary history and which are unpredictable.

Puppies have inherited genes from both parents and share many of the same characteristics.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Although no two look pups alike, these puppies have inherited genes from both parents and share many of the same characteristics. Organisms grow and develop following specific instructions coded for by their genes. I hope  this helps!
