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.

Answer:

D. The system provided an organized way to classify living things and it has been able to grow and develop. There is a place to enter new organisms as they are discovered or new evidence occurs

Explanation:

Carolus Linnaeus is a Swedish Botanist is universally referred to as the FATHER OF TAXONOMY because of his contribution to the development of a system of naming and classifying species, which is still globally recognized today. Linnaeus proposed the binomial nomenclature system which uses two of the hierarchical classification to name organisms i.e. genus and species. For example, humans are Homo sapiens; Homo (generic name), Sapien (specific name).

Modern scientists later modified Linnaeus classification by adding new ranks in order to accommodate new species and removing incorrectly classified organisms but Linnaeus classification remains the foundation. One important modification was the inclusion of a new taxon called DOMAIN.
