The right answer is C. The offspring are genetically distinct ... by sexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction, as opposed to asexual reproduction, indicates that the propagation of a species involves male and female gametes. It is the main method of reproduction of multicellular organisms.

In the first stage of sexual reproduction, meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced from a diploid number (2n) to a haploid number (n). During fertilization ("fertilization"), haploid gametes come together to form a diploid zygote and restore the initial number of chromosomes (2n).

<u>Answer</u>: C. The offspring are genetically distinct from the parents because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

<u>Explanation</u>: <em>Sexual reproduction</em> occurs through the fusion between an egg and a sperm cell. Each of these cells has a single set of chromosomes and thus are haploid. As a result, the offspring will be a diploid organism with half of its genetic material coming from the mother and half from the father.

Because the offspring is a combination of the parental genetic information, its own genetic setup will be thus unique compared with that of each parent.

The type of reproduction in which the offspring is identical to the parent is called <em>asexual reproduction</em>. Here, one organism produces a genetic copy of itself, without  exchanging genetic information with another organism through sex.

Snakes can live up to 9 years. They slither up to 18 mph. Snakes are reptiles that are elongated, limbless, and carnivorous. Another interesting thing about snakes is that they don’t have eyelids. The last fact is that snakes can open there mouths up to 150 degrees so they can swallow there prey.

The energy used by sperm to move up the fallopian tube is stored in the _____ of the sperm's midpiece.

How is the sun's energy exothermic and endothermic in its relationship to earth?
Daniel [21]
The sun's endothermic or exothermic energy has a different, but distinct actions with Earth, which makes them suitable for each other. With the sun's endothermic energy, Photosynthesis occurs in plants, it helps plants absorb heat energy from the sunlight, which lets the plants convert carbon into oxygen and glucose. While the exothermic energy, causes rain. It lets the condensation process of water vapor release energy in the form of heat, which causes rainfall.

Answer:

Gene therapy to correct defective genes that cause diseases.

Explanation:

  • Gene therapy refers to the procedure that involves the introduction of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) into the cells of an organism for the purpose of correcting abnormalities, such as a mutations or in other words to treat a genetic disease.
  • Gene therapy entails bringing a normal and functional gene known as a trans-gene into a cell with altered gene. Another method can bring RNA capable of partially regulating or blocking the expression of an altered gene.
  • The nucleic acids are introduced into the patient's cells by means of a viral vector or injected directly into the cells in the form of naked DNA.

Please Help! Factors affecting the rate of Photosynthesis.
PtichkaEL [24]

Factors affecting photosynthesis

Three factors can limit the rate of photosynthesis: light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature.

Light intensity

Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide. Increasing the light intensity will boost the rate of photosynthesis.

A graph with rate of photosynthesis on the y axis and light intensity on the x axis. The plotted line rises steeply and then levels off to horizontal.

Carbon dioxide concentration

Even if there is plenty of light, a plant cannot photosynthesise if there is insufficient carbon dioxide.

A graph with rate of photosynthesis on the y axis and light intensity on the x axis. The plotted line rise steeply and then levels off to horizonal. During the steep part light is the limiting factor. During the horizontal part another factor has become limiting.

TemperatureIf it gets too cold, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease. Plants cannot photosynthesise if it gets too hot.

A graph with rate of photosynthesis on the y axis and carbon dioxide concentration on the x axis. The plotted line rise steeply and then levels off to horizonal. During the steep part carobn dioxide is the limiting factor. During the horizontal part another factor has become limiting.

If you plot the rate of photosynthesis against the levels of these three limiting factors, you get graphs like the ones shown above.

In practice, any one of these factors could limit the rate of photosynthesis.
