Alecsey [184]

Answer: One consequence of neutralizing the pH in the intestine is that ENZYMES THAT CATALYZE THE HYDROLYSIS OF CARBOHYDRATES ARE ACTIVE.

Explanation: During digestion, partially digested food particles are transported from the stomach to the first part of the small intestines, that is, the duodenum. The food particles that are coming from the stomach are acidic due to the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This acidity has to be removed when the food particles get into the duodenum, this is because the enzymes that are needed to break down carbohydrates in the duodenum can not work in acidic medium. Thus, in order for the  pancreatic amlayse enzyme to become active and to complete the break down of carbohydrate in the duodenum, the secretin hormone has to stimulate the release of bicarbonate that will neutralize the acidic partially digested food particles from the stomach.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

1. 50% of the genome comes from each parent because it is crucial otherwise if the ratio changes, the zygote may not form and if formed the fetus may have some other kind of chromosome number related syndromes etc.

2.  Sexual reproduction produces greater genetic variability than asexual methods. This is because of the process of crossing over during meiosis that exchange the segments of chromosome that is necessary for producing mutations and genetic variability.

3. 50% of chromosomes match with each parent because both of the parents contributed 23 chromosomes and exactly 50% of their genome.

4. The gametes must be produced by two different individuals cause that is the main purpose of sexual reproduction and give better survival like this to the forming next generation. Not to mention produces greater genetic variability among species.

5. Plants always produces both eggs because they are hermaphroditic in nature.
