Ok, so when a horse (with 64 chromosomes) is crossed with a donkey(that has 62 chromosomes), each parent give its child half of its chromosomes. [64/2=32] [62/2=31]. So the mule gets 31 pairs of chromosomes plus 32 pairs of chromosomes. That equals 63 total chromosomes. In order to be a parent, it must give <span>half of its chromosomes to its child. [63/2=31.5] You can't have half a chromosome, so the mule is a sterile organism. Let me know if you have questions.</span>

HELP PLEASE I HAVE A WEEK LEFT OF SCHOOL I DONT WANNA FAIL
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

I am too lazy to do this, but I am assuming you were supposed to do this in class. I will give you ideas.

Why is soil important?  Soil is our life support system. Soils provide anchorage for roots, hold water and nutrients. Soils are home to myriad micro-organisms that fix nitrogen and decompose organic matter, and armies of microscopic animals as well as earthworms and termites.

What is soil erosion?  Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In agriculture, soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water (Figure 1) and wind (Figure 2) or through forces associated with farming activities such as tillage.

what human activities are responsible for soil erosion happening at advance rates?     Ploughing, unsuitable agricultural practices, combined with deforestation and overgrazing, are the main causes of human-induced soil erosion

What are some effects on soil loss?  The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.

What can be done to prevent soil erosion?   Maintaining a healthy, perennial plant cover.

Mulching.

Planting a cover crop – such as winter rye in vegetable gardens. ...

Placing crushed stone, wood chips, and other similar materials in heavily used areas where vegetation is hard to establish and maintain.

Explanation:  Hope this helps and have a great day

What happens when hydrogen ions combine with hydroxide ions
s2008m [1.1K]
  Hydrogen ion, or H-, creates water when combined with a hydroxide ion, OH+.
 
    The 'formula' for water is H20, two hydrogens and an oxygen. 

I hope that I helped but if this still makes no sense, or if I haven't explained it as well, then please don't hesitate to ask further questions. Thank you.
