<span>Only one sperm normally fuses
with an egg because if more than one sperm fuses, through a process
called polyspermy, development of the zygote usually stops.
</span>
<span>Fertilization of one egg by
two sperm is possible, but the resulting zygote is almost never viable
because such a zygote would have three sets of chromosomes instead of
the normal two. This condition, called triploidy, is usually
incompatible with life. Those rare triploid infants that do survive to
term have severe and multiple birth defects and rarely live more than a
few days. </span>
Answer:
Cat.
Explanation:
Introduction of cat can control the population of mice on the island more effectively as compared to the introduction of disease because the introduction of disease can cause damage to other population of that environment that adversely affected the ecosystem. Cat feeds on mice that act as a controlling agent in this ecosystem that will leads to decrease as well as controls the population from increasing in order to cause damage to the environment.
With increase in altitude atm pressure decreases... :)

Question: Why do organisms without oxygen need to convert pyruvate to lactate?
A) because pyruvate is toxic to the cells
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
C) in order to use lactate in the citric acid cycle
D) because lactate is needed to produce ATP
Answer:
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
Explanation:
Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC) are the aerobic stages of cellular respiration. ETC regenerates NAD+ and FAD+ by oxidation of NADH and FADH2 produced during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. Here, oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor.
Glycolytic reactions use NAD+ as an electron acceptor and produce NADH. Therefore, a constant supply of NAD+ is required to sustain glycolysis. In absence of oxygen, ETC cannot occur and organisms convert pyruvate into lactate. Pyruvate is reduced in lactate and NADH serves as the electron donor. Thereby, lactate fermentation regenerates NAD+ to continue the process of glycolysis.
Answer:
Wood is made up differently and it has less gravity. Wood also has air holes in it
