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>

Do multicellular organisms GROW? Do multicellular organisms DEVELOP
maxonik [38]

Answer:

It has physically increased in size. Often, growth of a multicellular organism occurs as more cells are created. In unicellular organisms (like bacteria), growth still occurs. ... For this reason, most biologists will tell you that development only occurs in multicellular organisms, not in unicellular ones.

Testing Two-Point Discrimination
yanalaym [24]
Two-point discrimination is the minimal distance which someone can perceive two different stimuli that given simultaneously. An area with higher receptor density will have a lower two-point discrimination result since the distance between receptor is lower. 
The area that needs a high sensitivity like the palm of the <span>hands(especially the fingertips), face</span>, and tongue should be the one with lowest two-point discrimination.

In this report, a<span>nterior forearm two-point discrimination result is the lower than the fingertip. This result is suspicious since the forearm shouldn't more sensitive than the fingertip. Fingertip two-point discrimination is around 2-6mm and forearm should be much higher than 6mm.
