Answer:

We receive one allele from each parent.

Explanation:

We have two alleles for a particular trait even though the allele pairs separate during gamete formation as per the law of segregation. It happens because at the time of fertilization when each parental gamete which is haploid in nature fuse to form a diploid totipotent cell which is known as zygote. Formation of zygote restores the diploidy so that the off springs of these parents have two alleles for each trait. The two alleles of a trait segregate by the process of meiosis (a type of cell division) which occurs in germ cells at the time of gamete formation.

What is the difference between population and organism?
Ostrovityanka [42]

An organism describes an individual. You are an organism. I am an organism. The mosquito that flies by your window is an organism. An organism is a single, living thing and can be an animal, a plant, or a fungus. Organisms grow and respond to their environment.

A population is the term we use to describe multiple individuals or organisms of a single species that live within a particular geographic area. For example, there may be one population of painted turtles in one state and another population of painted turtles 250 miles away in another state.

The negative effects of tilling include _____. A increased soil erosion B reduced soil drainage C reduced need for energy input
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Tilling agitates the topsoil and removes ‘unnecessary’ vegetation so the main crop can grow without competition. Tilling improves soil aeration and drainage for plants to grow well.  Nonetheless, it can lead to other consequences such as soil erosion because it loosens the soil and makes it easy to be carried away by wind and water.
