Answer:
Because the offspring of a male and female are always going to be xx, xx, xy, or xy.
Explanation:
Remember that men have different reproductive chromesomes than women. Women have 2 x chromesomes(xx) while men have 1 x and 1 y(xy). These are given down to their offspring.
So we can write the this out in a punnet square as(link down below).
After you see the visual, you will find that the genotypes are xx, xx, xy, xy.
As I said above, women have sex chromesomes xx, while men have sex chromesomes xy. When you match the genotypes on the punnet square with the ones we know from men and women, we find that two of them match with men and two match with female.
So with this, we can conclude that 2/4 of offspring will always be male and 2 will be female. And as you well know 2/4 is 1/2 which is 50%.
From the earliest moments of life, the interaction of heredity and the environment works to shape who children are and who they will become.
The complex interaction of nature and nurture does not just occur at certain moments or at certain periods of time; it is persistent and lifelong.
Hello!
I believe the correct answer to your question would be sister chromatids.
Hope this helps, and have a lovely rest of your day :)
Answer: The correct answer is D) Some energy in each trophic level is used for life processes.
Food chain represents the flow of energy through various living organisms (which lie at different trophic levels) in an ecosystem. The energy flows from one trophic level to the next and it is decreased with subsequent trophic levels.
As per the law of 10% energy transfer, only 10 % of the energy is transferred from one level to the next as the rest of the energy at every trophic level is utilized in various metabolic processes like respiration, digestion, excretion and also liberated as heat in the surrounding.
Due to this, the energy available at any trophic level is less than the previous trophic level.
