Which best describes the alternation of generations? Fertilization produces haploid spores. Meiosis produces a diploid zygote. A
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

A gametophyte is its haploid phase.

Explanation:

The statement that best-described alternation of generation would that a <u>gametophyte is a haploid phase</u>.

<em>Alternation of generation is a type of life cycle that involves alternating between the diploid (2n) and the haploid phase of the same organism. The haploid gametophyte produces the male and female gametes that fuse together to form a diploid zygote during fertilization. </em>

<em>The zygote divides mitotically to give the diploid sporophyte. The latter undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores which then germinates to give rise to haploid gametophytes and the cycle is repeated.</em>

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

is a thick band of neural fibers enabling communication between the two brain hemispheres.

Explanation:

A brain can be defined as an organ of soft nerve tissue that is found in the skull of vertebrates and it's typically responsible for the coordination of nervous activities, intellect and sensation.

The human brain consists of various sections and these includes;

I. Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) which resembles a bow or collar surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. This is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex which helps to make complex cognitive functions such as impulse control, decision-making, emotions and empathy.

II. Ventral prefrontal cortex in humans are interconnected with the brain and are responsible for the processing of risk, empathy, fear and social decision-making

III. The Cerebral Cortex: this part of the brain primarily comprises of grey matter, foldable sheets of neurons and forms its outermost layer. Therefore, cerebral cortex is known as the outermost layer of the brain (cerebrum) and thus, makes up half of its weight. It is about 2.5 millimeters in thickness and as such it's able to fold.

The corpus callosum is a large, thick band of C-shaped neural fibers found beneath the cerebral cortex and it's saddled with the responsibility of enabling communication between the two brain hemispheres i.e the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere.

How do sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes from diploid progenitors?
Wittaler [7]
Through meiosis, diploid parents produce haploid cells called gametes. The gametes, through sexual reproduction, then meet and join into one cell called a zygote that is diploid.
The zygote then develops into a diploid organism with genetic traits from both parents.
