Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.

In most cases, the two major climatic factors affecting the distribution of organisms in terrestrial ecosystems are __________.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

precipitation and temperature

Explanation:

Temperature and water are considered major abiotic factors that affect species distribution in terrestrial ecosystems. The temperature can affect the distribution of terrestrial organisms due to many species maintain a constant internal temperature, while other species maintain a body temperature range that may be very different from the environmental temperature, and therefore they will not be able to carry out their metabolic functions. Hibernation is an adaptation that allows some terrestrial animals to escape temperature fluctuations. Moreover, water is another limiting factor for life, since water is critical for cellular processes. The waxy cuticle is an adaptation that allows terrestrial plants to avoid excessive water loss through transpiration.

Answer:

habituation

Explanation:

Habituation is a kind of learning process in psychology, which describes the behavioral responsiveness of humans and animals to a stimulus that is presented repeatedly without a change, punishment or reward. It explains that response of humans and animals to a stimulus that is repeatedly presented will reduce over time. The more the repetition, the less response is exhibited.

Hannah is simply exhibiting a lesser degree of responsiveness to the repeated occurrence of same stimuli which is termed habituation.
