Answer:
Dehydration
Explanation:
Dehydration is the condition of the body which involves the loss of body fluid compared to the amount of water the body gets. Water is an important constituent of the human body making up to about two-third of the body. The normal body metabolism is affected when the amount of water in the body drops below the required level of water necessary for optimal functioning of the body.
Athletes usually suffer from dehydration, most especially long distance runners, as they tend to lose a lot of body fluid through sweating while the body tries to regulate the body temperature during the race. When the body is dehydrated, the heart works harder to pump blood to various parts of the body leading to loss of strength of the muscles.
Common signs a dehydrated person shows include feeling tired and lightheaded, loss of body weight etc.
Answer:
1. 50% of the genome comes from each parent because it is crucial otherwise if the ratio changes, the zygote may not form and if formed the fetus may have some other kind of chromosome number related syndromes etc.
2. Sexual reproduction produces greater genetic variability than asexual methods. This is because of the process of crossing over during meiosis that exchange the segments of chromosome that is necessary for producing mutations and genetic variability.
3. 50% of chromosomes match with each parent because both of the parents contributed 23 chromosomes and exactly 50% of their genome.
4. The gametes must be produced by two different individuals cause that is the main purpose of sexual reproduction and give better survival like this to the forming next generation. Not to mention produces greater genetic variability among species.
5. Plants always produces both eggs because they are hermaphroditic in nature.
Tetraploidy will occur.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
The process of sexual reproduction is very necessary to maintain the genetic setup of the species over the races.
The normal chromosome content of a cell is called diploid state of cell. Its represented by the expression 2n. The cell division that takes place before the gamete formation is called meiosis. This cell division makes the chromosome number of the cells halved. So haploid cells are produced. Its represented by n.
Now as the gametes fuse, both the n becomes 2n and diploid state is regained.
But if the meiosis don't occur in the gametes, the gametes will remain 2n. So after fertilization, it becomes 4n. This state is called tetraploidy.
