Their bodies taper to points at both the snout and the tail, reducing water resistance. Also decreasing drag -- and therefore noise -- are dermal denticles, sharp scales that cover the skin of most shark species. Rather than bone, sharks have cartilage, which is much lighter and more flexible. In addition, their livers produce squalene, a fatty oil that helps them remain afloat. Their pectoral fins allow them to quickly change direction, dive and swim upward.

Answer:
Option (e).
Explanation:
Meiosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells. The chromosome number reduces to half in meiosis.
Crossing over is the process of exchange of genetic material between the homologous chromosomes of the non-sister chromatids. Crossing over will bring variation in the gametes. Hence, the absence of crossing over results in the formation of gametes with less genetic variation.
Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
Answer:
divide the number of births by population
Explanation:
Answer:
"without light energy from the sun, photosynthesis would still occur" is completely false. Light energy is needed for the light-dependent reactions, or simply the light reactions, of photosynthesis.
"oxygen is an input into photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is an output" is also completely false. It is the opposite.
These statements are true, however:
SUNLIGHT
CARBON DIOXIDE
WATER
MINERALS
OXYGEN
PLANT SUGARS
Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata (tiny holes) in the leaves.
Sunlight is an input, CO2 is an input, water is an input (taken in through the roots, transported through the veins), minerals are a collective input, oxygen is an output (produced during photolysis), and plant sugars are an output (glucose, for an example).
