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.

Which list best describes the events that would lead to the layering of sedimentary rocks in this diagram?
ser-zykov [4K]
I couldn't find a diagram but was able to find the terms erosion and deposition and using these terms, first there is erosion or the wearing away away of the rock in place be it pre-existing igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rock, then transportation often to a delta or flood-plain or basin, and then deposition of sand silt and clay and then consolidation into rock and diagenesis which involves compaction and the removal of water.

Which of the following is NOT a function of a glycocalyx?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

  The incorrect assertive is letter C. it forms pseudopodia for mobility.

Explanation:

  The glycocalyx or glycocalyx is a wrapper outside the plasma membrane present in animal cells and some protozoa. The term glycocalix derives from the Greek glykys, sugar, and the Latin calyx, bark, a sugar peel. It consists of lipid-associated carobhydrates, commonly called glycolipids, and protein-associated caroboidates, called glycoproteins.

  According of all functions we have about glicocalix, the assertive letter C is the only is not a function about this structure. The other ones, like allows bacteria to stick to a host or the environment, biofilm formation and protection a bacteria about the drying out process are function of the glycocalix.

Nesterboy [21]

The characteristic of life that relies on the sun is the need for energy. Every living thing needs energy in order to survive, and almost every form of life on Earth depends on the sun for this energy. The sun's energy is captured and harnessed by the process of photosynthesis.
