<u>Answer</u>: Sperm cell

<u>Explanation</u>:

Amongst all the 4 options given, only the Sperm cell is a gamete (sex cell) while all the three are somatic cells.

  • A <em>somatic</em> cell is the one which forms the body of an organism and contains all the genetic information.
  • A <em>gamete</em> is the one which is required for the purpose of fertilization. A gamete of male fuses with the gamete of female in a process called fertilization to form a zygote to give rise to a new individual.
  • A Sperm cell is basically a <em>male gamete.</em> It contains only half the amount of genetic information as the other half is contributed by the female gamete.
  • This difference in the amount of genetic information arises due to the type of cell division that occurs. The somatic cells undergo mitosis whereas a gamete requires meiosis to occur for its formation.
  • During mitosis there is a single round of cell division which divides the parent cell into two daughter cells each with the <em>complete genetic information</em>.
  • During meiosis the cell undergoes two rounds of cell division such that a total lf 4 cells are produced each <em>with half the amount of genetic material </em>as present in the parent cell.

Since, <em>sperm is a male gamete and is formed by meiosis it contains only half the genetic information as compared to the other cells.</em>

Is it ever possible for two parents to have a colorblind daughter but not a color blind son? Explain.
Anna [14]
Yes, it’s possible. The genetic that they give out to their children depends. If the parents gives out the genes for colorblind for the daughter but not the son, it’s possible.

It’s just like having a child with disabilities and another child that is perfectly healthy.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

systematics is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • The modern approach to classification, with the broader goal of reconstructing the evolutionary history, or phylogeny, of organisms is: systematics.
  • Systematics plays an important role in the field of biology.
  • Carl Linnæus is the father of Systematics.
  • Systematics refers to the study of the diversification,nomenclature, and classification of the living organism in the past and also in present.
  • Systematics is used to understand the evolutionary relationship and the purpose of systematics is to describe and explain biological variety.
  • The main objective of systematics is to identify species and to give scientific names to organisms, it used to determine the arrangement of the living organism and to study the evolutionary history of organisms.

What are the characteristics of red light, which is absorbed by chlorophylls?
Lilit [14]
<span><span>There are choices for this question namely:

A. Its photons have the shortest wavelength in the visual spectrum
B. Its photons have the highest energy in the visual spectrum
C. Its photons have the longest wavelength in the visual spectrum
D. It is not considered a part of the visual spectrum

The correct answer is that </span>its photons have the longest wavelength in the visual spectrum<span>. Chlorophyll, being green in color (around 495 to 590 nm wavelength), reflects this wavelength; not absorbed. Mostly, the chlorophyll absorbs longer wavelengths of light such as red (around 680 nm wavelength) and blue to violet (around 400 to 480 nm wavelnegth). </span></span>
