Answer:

Because of presence of different sets of chromosomes in hybrids

Explanation:

In normal animals the body cells have two sets of chromosomes out of which one comes from mother and the other from father. During the gamete formation, when meiosis occurs, these two sets of chromosomes are duplicated and then only one set of chromosome is transferred to each of the four formed gametes. Now each of these cells have only one set of chromosomes which is a mixture of mother and father chromosomes. This is possible because the parents have same sets of chromosomes.

But, as the hybrids are formed by mating of two different species parents, the chromosomes of hybrids don't match up with others in the order and during meiosis and thus the pairing between the chromosomes become difficult. This is why hybrids are incapable in reproducing sexually.

disa [49]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the amount of ammonia will decrease in lithosphere and the amount of nitrogen in atmosphere will increase.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is the most abundant element present in the atmosphere as it constitutes 78% of the atmospheric gases.

The major cause of nitrogen fixation on Earth is biological nitrogen fixation which takes place due to the ability of prokaryotes to utilize atmospheric nitrogen as they possess an enzyme called nitrogenase. The nitrogenase converts the atmospheric nitrogen to a usable form that is ammonia (NH₃).  

In the given condition, if virus inactivates the nitrogenase enzyme, then atmospheric nitrogen will not be converted to ammonia as a result of which the Amount of ammonia of soil decreases in the soil and the atmospheric nitrogen will increase.

goldenfox [79]

The most likely to be found in a dichotomous key for identifying a tree by its leaves are the leaf bases attached opposite to each other on the branch.

<h3>How is a dichotomous key used to identify species?</h3>

A dichotomous key is an essential scientific tool, used to identify different organisms, established the organism's observable characters. Dichotomous keys consist of a series of statements with two choices in each step that will lead users to the correct identification.

Thus, option "c" is correct.
