Why is meiosis important for sexual reproduction?

Gametes are mature haploid cells, or sex cells. When gametes unite with others from the opposite sex in the form of fertilization they create a zygote which then forms an embryo etc. At the end of meiosis the gametes only have <u>half</u> the chromosomes of the organism (only one copy of DNA)

Answer: C. It allows gametes to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism.

How did the environment of Arabia serve as a form of protection during much of the region's history?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: A: Its fertile oases enabled farmers to grow enough food for themselves and for sale.

Explanation: The Arabia region is a region located within the Arabian desert. A desert is an area of extreme heat, often dry weather condition with barren lands that cannot support agriculture and food production. An oases on the other hand is a region of luscious, cultivate-able land within a desert.

Food is one of the most important basic needs of man and hardly can anyone survive without food for more than twenty days. Hence, the presence of oases within the otherwise dry environment of the Arabia region is a major protection against death from hunger.

Taking a closer look at other options, none of them guarantees food supply and income to the Arabia region unlike food production in oases. Hence, the fertile oases is really the most important factor that serves as protection in the region's history.

Correct option: A

Identify the analogous structures
ra1l [238]

Answer: Here you go!

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

d. None of these  

Explanation:

Probably the identical sequence found in both species<em> </em>is an<em> ultraconserved sequence. </em>

An <u>ultraconserved element</u> is a particular DNI sequence that remains exactly the same through evolution, with almost no modification, and that is shared by at least two completely different species.

These ultraconserved DNI portions seem to be highly essential for life. However, their function could not be determined yet. Most of them do not codify for proteins, but they could play a significant role in gene regulation.

It is suggested that these sequences are so significant for life that only a small change would compromise the organism´s aptitude.
