Which person would need more body fat than the others? a. A pregnant woman b. A high school basketball player c. A professional
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is: A) a pregnant woman.

Explanation:

Bodybuilders in particular need the lower body fat percentage possible in order to succeed in their career, since most of their bodies must be muscle. Professional ballet dancers need to be light and skinny to be able to perform their dance moves and to be lifted by their partners; a basketball player also needs a lower fat percentage and a higher muscle mass percentage to be able to play at his best; and a ranch hand as well needs to not be packing that much fat in order to make his job easier.

Pregnant women, however, need body fat to have healthy pregnancies. This doesn't mean that they do not need to take care of themselves, because a higher body fat than what it's needed can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and can difficult the pregnancy.

Answer:

(C) maleness results from the minimal presence of one Y chromosome

Explanation:

Human males have one Y and one X chromosome as their sex chromosomes. However, the human males with Klinefelter (XXY) syndrome have two copies of X chromosome as the human males but also have one Y chromosome. Similarly, human females have two X chromosomes as sex chromosomes but the females with Turner (XO) syndrome have only one X chromosome and the females with poly-X (XXX, XXXX) have more than two X chromosomes.

This means that the  Y chromosome regulates sex in human beings. If one copy of the functional Y chromosome is present in the cells, the fetus will develop into a male. The absence of a functional Y chromosome will make the fetus develop into a female.
