Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) Travis's mother, who lives with him</em>

Explanation:

We all know that humans reproduce sexually. The zygote formed consists half of the chromosomes or genome from the mother and half from the father. Hence, the sex cells undergo meiosis so that the chromosome number could be reduced to half in the sex cells.

However, the mitochondria present in a cell have their own DNA and instead of both parents being transferring this DNA, the mitochondrial DNA is just transferred by the mother to the offsprings. Hence, the mitochondrial DNA of mother and child will be the same.

Why are flowering plants more efficient at pollinating than gymnosperms?
natima [27]
Bees can get in and out, carrying pollen with them from flower to flower pollinating as they go. On the the other hand, Gymnosperms have to let their seeds somehow travel away and plant itself, or with the help of nature, they plant themselfs
But it is easier for those flowering plants to pollinate.
