would all of its offspring be genetically identical? why/why not?

Recombination is the method by which organisms can randomly assort their genotypes amongst each other to create offspring with a different haplotype than either of its parents. This can be done by either copying sequences from one homologous chromosome to another (no physical exchange) or crossing over (physical exchange. 
Crossing over is a mechanism in eukaryotes by which recombination can occur, in which the two homologous chromosomes contributed by both parents literally cross over and break at certain points to exchange certain sections of the chromosomes amongst each together.
Self fertilizing organisms typically do not produce offspring that are genetically identical. However, this has an inbreeding effect on its offspring, since it is recombining from the same genotype and so has a higher chance of producing homozygous offspring. This is very detrimental for mammals and some eukaryotes, but in some other organisms such as bacteria, homozygosity is typically not an issue.

What was the ecosystems carrying capacity for Buffalo based on the graph once rinderpest was eliminated
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

60,000 buffalo

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, I attached the options.

35,000

55,000

60,000

65,000

Buffalo numbers in the study area were estimated using total aerial photographic counts, the estimation was made it in Mara Serengeti ecosystem (25 000 km2), buffalos have other problems apart of bubonic plague, like climate change, competition, disease, food limitation, land-use change, predation.

Assume the population growth of Serengeti buffalo graph, before the rinderpest there was a capacity of 50,000 buffalos, but there was a bubonic plague epidemic, then two years and half, only there were a capacity less than 30,000.

After the virus was eliminated the graph show growth, in 6 years there were more than 60,000 buffalos, in more eleven-year, there were exactly 60,000 buffalos.

How does water form during cellular respiration
Marizza181 [45]
The overall mechanism of cellular respiration<span> involves four subdivisions: glycolysis, in which glucose molecules are broken down to form pyruvic acid molecules; the Krebs cycle, in which pyruvic acid is further broken down and the energy in its molecule is used to form high-energy compounds such as NADH.
