Answer:

The correct answer is: Meiosis makes it possible for a zygote to have the correct number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division used by reproducing organisms to produce the gametes (as sperm or egg cells). It has two rounds of division that results in four cells with one copy of each chromosome.

Before the division, genetic material from each chromosome is crossed over and creates new combinations of code on each chromosome. During fertilization, the cells produced by meiosis will conjoin to create a cell with copies of each chromosome again, the zygote.

Answer:

Hello!

The answer is Meiosis allows chromosomes to exchange genetic material through crossing over.

Explanation:

Meiosis:

Meiosis, also known as reduction division, is the type of cell division that produces four gametes by reducing the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell.  

Meiosis occurs in the germ cells and is required for reproduction. Unlike Mitosis, which produces copies of the parent genetic material, meiosis is responsible for producing variations in the offspring DNA. Meiosis allows the crossing over which is the exchange of genetic material between chromosomes that will ultimately end up in separate daughter cells. This process will produce four gametes with a varied set of genes.

A young farmer purchases some land in a relatively arid area and is interested in earning a reasonable profit for many years. Wh
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Arid areas are the regions of the world which can be marked with the lack of water conditions, high light intensity and very low rainfall.

Water is one of the primary requirement of the plant without which no plant can survive but the adaptability to the environment allows the existence of the life on earth. There are known species of plants which are adaptive to such arid conditions.

If a farmer is interested in growing plants in such arid conditions hen he should select the plants which could better be adapted to survive in the arid conditions either by avoiding arid condition like storing water, low transpiration, extensive root system and many others.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

The effect of sympathetic nervous system stimulation on the heart is to: Group of answer choices increase the refractory period.
ExtremeBDS [4]

The effect of sympathetic nervous system stimulation on the heart is to increase heart rate and myocardial contractility.

In the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), as the sympathetic stimulation increases, the heart rate also decreases along with the force of contraction.

The heart rate increases because of the release of hormones catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine whereas the force of contraction increases because of a higher end-systolic volume [ESV] which requires a forceful heart contraction to pump more blood out of the ventricle which will decrease the ESV value.

The end-systolic volume [ESV] is the amount of blood that remains in a ventricle after a contraction (systole) which is to be maintained at around 50 mL of blood.
