Answer:
Neither A nor B is correct
Explanation:
Hydrologic cycle is the sequence of different conditions through which the water passes from oceans to clouds, precipitates as rains, comes to the rivers and finally reaches the ocean.
This first statement in the question said that water will end up in the river which is not true because water from the river ultimately ends in the oceans because all the rivers terminate in the oceans finally.
The second statement is also wrong because when water from one ocean vaporizes and becomes cloud, it can travel large distances as clouds in the effect of wind and thus may get precipitated in the form of rain in some other part of the world. So, it is not necessary that the water will end up in the same ocean.
Answer: Option (1)
Explanation:
The extinction event played an important role in the creation of new diverse life forms on earth. After an extinction event, both globally and locally, more than 75% of animal species gets vanish and the only those highly resistant life supporting organisms survive and with due course of time, they undergoes evolution, thereby bringing changes to the existing life forms. This is how they initiates and helps in the increasing species diversity.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
<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>
