Answer:

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

Explanation:

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

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

Option C is also not correct because only one gamete (sperm) 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.

Answer:

The correct answer is - warms, moist air rises.

Explanation:

When moist warm air rises and meets with the surface of cool air the more dense air that is cold air end up below the warm moist air in the troposphere it condenses as it rises.

The condensation of the warm, moist water leads to the formation of cloud formation. This cloud gets bigger and bigger until it precipitates and rain fall occurs.
