Fynjy0 [20]4 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

The evolution of egg was the most important evolutionary incident which allowed the evolution of the terrestrial animals. The amnion is the layer inside the chorion of the egg which keeps the embryo from drying out.

The formation of this layer completely removed the dependency of the organism to lay their eggs in the water to keep them wet.

This layer allowed the reptiles to lay their eggs on the land as the amnion can protect the embryo from drying out. The other layer of eggs protects the egg from the predators and the pathogens.

Thus, the evolution of the amniotic egg is very important from the evolutionary perspective.

son4ous [18]

The answer is (A. A warm current flows along the coast.) Currents carry cold and warm water from place to place. It's an amazing phenomenon that scientists are still trying to fully figure out.  Some think it's caused by wind, others think it's caused by the shifting of the tectonic plates, but one thing's for sure, currents are VITAL for this planets life.

Imagine a scenario where Barr bodies are not due to random inactivation, but rather, the silencing is due to paternal imprinting
artcher [175]

Answer:

<h2>If Barr bodies are not due to random inactivation, but rather, the silencing is due to paternal imprinting  then the frequency of men and women differs. </h2>

Explanation:

Red-green color  blindness: color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. The male having this disease will transmit his X chromosome (with the mutation) to his daughter, who will then be a carrier of the disease.  

If Barr bodies are not due to random inactivation, but rather, the silencing is due to paternal imprinting  then the frequency of men and women differs.

Male inherit its X chromosome only from mother and no X chromosome from father, having one Y chromosome but female receive one X chromosome from father and one from mother, having no Y chromosome, So if the paternal allele is silenced then the males are no affected.
