kipiarov [429]

Answer and explanation:

Monophyletic species are the species whose lineage belongs to the common recent phylogenetic ancestor. As mentioned in the question, the girl has 3 species namely G, H, and K. Because there is no other criteria given, we assume that the closeness of alphabets would reflect the closeness of species. Thus, G and H are closer relative than K. Therefore, if she adds <u>I, and J species</u> in the list, all of them will be closer relatives and we can say that they are monophyletic now.

In normal humans, sex cells contain the _________ number of chromosomes.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: Haploid number

In normal humans, sex cells contain the diploid number of chromosomes

Explanation;

Human somatic cells or body cells are diploid such that they contain two sets of 23 chromosomes which gives a total of 23 chromosomes. Examples of somatic cells in the body that are diploid include, epithelial cells, somatic cells, liver cells, blood cells, nerve cells, etc.

However, mature sex cells are haploid, which means they have one set of 23 chromosomes which means they have 23 chromosomes. Sex cells are the results of meiosis type of cell division in which a diploid cell divides to form four daughter cells that are haploid.

When we use water, we often use too much. We waste it. When washing cars, showering, brushing our teeth etc. Because of wastefulness, there are places that don't have the luxury of being able to wash their car well, and can't water their lawns for more than a few minutes a day.

I hope I was able to help. Best of luck.
