Answer:

B. It was passed to the individual by a gamete from the father.

Explanation:

<u>DNA is transferred</u> to the next generation <u>via gametes</u>, which are produced during <u>meiosis</u>. During meiosis, <u>half of the genetic material</u> is <u>transferred</u> from parent cell to their gametes. Therefore, among the given options, only <u>B is correct</u>.

Option A is not correct because it talks about <u>somatic cells;</u> whereas, in somatic cells, <u>genetic material is not transferred half</u> rather duplicate first and then a complete duplicated set of genetic material is transferred.

Option C is also not correct because only <u>one gamete (sperm)</u> fertilizes the egg. Hence, not half of his cells descend from father gamete. Similarly, option D is also incorrect because it is not possible to descend half of the nuclei from the father to the offspring.

djverab [1.8K]

The nutrient is phosphorus

<h3>The phosphorus cycle</h3>

Phosphorus cycles between living components of the earth (biosphere) and the soil (geosphere).

The element's reservoir is mainly the sediments of the ocean and rocks. Phosphorus gets into the soil by weathering of rocks.

Plants are able to pick the element up from the soil and animals are able to get their phosphorus by consuming plants.

When plants and animal die, their body decomposes and the phosphorus in them enters the soil.

Thus, the cycle being referred to in the illustration is the phosphorus cycle.
